Features
µTorrent is the world's most popular BitTorrent client. Most of the features present in other BitTorrent clients are present in µTorrent, including bandwidth prioritization, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading and Mainline DHT (compatible with BitComet). Additionally, µTorrent supports the Protocol Encryption joint specification (compatible with Azureus 2.4.0.0 and above, BitComet 0.63 and above) and peer exchange.
µTorrent was written with efficiency in mind. Unlike many torrent clients, it does not hog valuable system resources - typically using less than 6MB of memory, allowing you to use the computer as if it weren't there at all.
Various icon, toolbar graphic and status icon replacements are available, and creating your own is very simple. µTorrent also has support for localization, and with a language file present, will automatically switch to your system language. If your language isn't available, you can easily add your own, or edit other existing translations to improve them!
PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format
µTorrent Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It supports upgrades by installing right over an existing copy, preserving all settings. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

µTorrent Portable is available for immediate download from the µTorrent Portable homepage. Get it today!

Thanks Gringoloco
I want to specifically thank Gringoloco for coming up with the code to handle moving torrents. He figured it out, implemented and tested it so everyone can enjoy it
I've tried a few times to get
I've tried a few times to get this update via the 2.0 suite updater and it fails every time.
It looks like it does two downloads then gives me an error message. It says, "The downloaded copy of uTorrent Portable is not valid and can not be installed. This could be due to an incomplete download or other network issue. Please try running the updater again when complete."
Fixed
The updater database didn't have the file listed properly. It should be working now. Sorry for the trouble.
Not a problem, just thought
Not a problem, just thought you should know. It worked fine today. Thanks!
Issue again?
Howdy,
I am having this same issue now. I am getting the above message and then the following, "The installer was unable to download uTorrent. The installation of the portable app will be incomplete without it. Please try installing again. (ERROR: OK)"
I actually don't even use uTorrent, but maybe others do. Perhaps it's a result of changes from earlier this week? (https://portableapps.com/node/29193)
New Installer Only
You should use the current installer, not this old outdated one from over a year ago. 2.0.3 is very old and no longer supported. And in an app like uTorrent, that's a very bad thing.
Using Installer 3.0 Build 25683
I believe I am using the latest installer. It is possible my school's firewall is blocking the online installer. I'm not sure what the url is it's trying to hit. I tried to use WiresharkPortable but without admin rights I don't think I can get it working.
Should I have posted this in the "bugs" forum?
