BitTorrent Acquires µTorrent
Stumble it!
BitTorrent has acquired µTorrent, a small BitTorrent client, for an undisclosed sum.
“BitTorrent recognizes µTorrent’s exceptionally well-written codebase and robust user community,” said Bram Cohen, chief executive and co-founder of BitTorrent, in a statement.
“By teaming with BitTorrent, we will benefit from a truly global reach and technology leadership to deliver the best experience for our users,” said Ludvig Strigeus, developer of µTorrent, in a statement.
When comparing the two clients µTorrent definitely wins hands down. Though the current version of BitTorrent is definitely better than the previous versions, it still has a long way to go. What remains to be seen if the features of µTorrent are incorporated into BitTorrent or whether BitTorrent just markets µTorrent as its official client.
