uTorrent, new paid subscription plan to remove ads

The uTorrent development team found a new annual subscription option to remove the banner ads on the application. The official launch follows a short period of beta, with a new payment option in addition to the previously active. The client for file sharing in peer-to-peer now offers three subscription plans: one totally free, one called "Pro" from $ 19.95 annual and amidst the new, highly affordable, from $ 4.95 .

uTorrent Pro offers the highest number of advantages, such as the automatic malware protection, a more reliable customer support and a tool for the conversion of multimedia content so that they can be played on all devices. In the middle we find the new uTorrent Ad-free it, a few cents per month, provides the removal of all banner ads from the interface of the software. Finally we find the basic level, the most essential, which is totally free.
In its basic version uTorrent offers everything most users require for file exchange. Excluding some banners present on application screens, the client provides "faster downloads with automatic bandwidth management". Which could be a problem, since without imposing limits of various nature makes undoubtedly less affordable the two paid plans, despite the amount requested by the team is actually ridiculous.

Launched in 2005 and a year later acquired by BitTorrent Inc., uTorrent is one of the most popular and widespread client for exchanging files through the protocol for peer-to-peer and owes its fame mainly to its lightness (the client " it weighs "less than one MB of disk and takes less than 20MB of RAM operation). It is also available on smartphones and tablets, and last April has reached and exceeded 100 million downloads of the mobile thanks to all the applications available on Android, iOS and Windows Phone.

While the Pro subscription could seem excessive, given the intended use of the platform and the many free alternatives proposals, the new subscription plan is undoubtedly very attractive. It costs about a quarter compared to the "Pro" and, although only eliminates the hassle of advertising banners, can be a vector for the right to show its gratitude to the developers for an app that is used by many users around the world.
