uTorrent populairty surges

Thursday, April 24, 2008 9:45 PDT -07:00   News  


More filesharing and music download stats for you today. This time, it looks like the number of people using uTorrent has doubled this year compared to last year. The world’s most popular BitTorrent client is on 11.6% of all computers in Europe and 5.1% of all computers in the US.

The data was gathered from millions of Windows-based PCs around the world.

After uTorrent recently overtook Azureus as the most popular BitTorrent client around, it has now started gaining on Limewire. From 2007 to 2007, Limewire lost a quarter of its users, perhaps signaling that BitTorrent is becoming the preferred method of obtaining free music downloads. Limewire still remains the most installed filesharing app available, although it is losing ground in the US and Europe.

While uTorrent is on the rise, other BitTorrent clients are steadily declining. Interestingly, the study also found that one in five PCs in the workplace have at least one filesharing program installed.
