Five years after uTorrent has been released for the platform of the Windows development team has announced it is working on a version of Linux torrent client. The huge user demand is cited as one of the main reasons that Linux users have a native application uTorrent next summer.
From uTorrent has been released, Mac and Linux developers have requested to release a version of the client designed to run on your computer. In 2008, almost two years after the announcement was finally made public. In 2006, when uTorrent was sold to BitTorrent Inc., the company announced that a Mac version is coming.
The development team has announced they are working on a client such as uTorrent Linux. For more details on the timeline and a possible release date are not currently available. With the release of Mac, Linux users were the only ones left in the cold, but this is changing.
This strong demand from users is one of the main reasons why the Linux version is underway. The Linux version is compatible with the idea of more recent introduction uTorrent Ideas Bank. A few weeks later the idea of a Linux version was supported by 3254 people. The brain bank is prominent in the utorrent site that allows users to submit and vote for the ideas they want to see improved.
Jenna Broughton spokesman told TorrentFreak. "Obviously we do our best to provide every time we see a good match between our goals and our capabilities and what our users say they want.." 'Since the launch of our Bank uTorrent.com idea there was a strong demand for a native client for Linux, "BitTorrent Inc.
The exact function of all Linux clients will be kept secret for now, but in common with other versions of uTorrent is not open source. "We are determined to make a thin client uTorrent covering usability and functionality of our Windows and Mac clients for Linux users," said Broughton.
The release date for the customer is unknown at this time, but unlike the Mac version to be published soon. "Although the exact specifications that times are still in development, we hope that uTorrent for Linux will be available later this summer," we have been informed.
The Mac version has been well received, but not in any way the most used platform BitTorrent client. Whatever happens, it's nice to see that uTorrent will be available in all three major platforms. Whether or not Linux will never reach the question uTorrent market share that Windows has yet to be seen.
Not too mention uTorrent is compatible with Wine. Therefore, if someone wants to use can work with Wine. All I can say is that uTorrent wants to develop for Linux? E 'is 5 years. We have alternatives for some time, "they have beaten through many versions and have had many bugs fixed.
Well, it's a shame – I felt uTorrent eventually go to the bathroom … Rip-L-. I'm glad to see uTorrent in the end is Linux, but with all the best, seem to make much sense – and will not be open source? Fail! In addition, as mentioned above, users of Linux that still want to use uTorrent, you can use wine and work well.
