If the circle is of any other color, the playback of the movie will likely not be perfect. If the green circle indicates enough, users share the film so it can be played smoothly. When we click on the movie, we will see a plot summary, together with the year of release, the minutes of duration, genre, and the score received on IMDb. We can filter the catalog of movies by genre (action, comedy, romantic, etc.), and organize them by popularity, year, score, etc. As simple as that, no need to configure any option, so we can see online movies downloaded from the torrent network. Clicking on any of them the playback of the movie will start. You need to install the program, and on the main screen, we will see the covers of the latest available movies. But that small distinction has made it possible for uTorrent to avoid the legal blockades that have made life difficult for various Popcorn Time sites throughout Europe.The installation and use are very simple. Still, “torrent,” and consequently uTorrent, has become Internet shorthand for downloading copyright files illegally. Instead of downloading a song directly from the iTunes store, for example, a uTorrent user downloads snippets of that file from hundreds or thousands of users while also uploading it, or making it available for other users as well. The popular software enables its approximately 150 million users to download any media content (academic papers, computer operating systems, etc.) via BitTorrent protocol. Unlike Popcorn Time uTorrent – owned by BitTorrent Inc. Popcorn Time, the loosely affiliated network of websites that enables users to illegally stream free movies, made up about 18 GB/s at its peak, with traffic dropping to “nearly zero” on multiple nights in March and April.

The network management company Procera told TorrentFreak that, after monitoring piracy traffic on a single European Internet network, that traffic from uTorrent accounts accounted for approximately 44 gigabits per second at its peak. A comparison of the activity on both networks indicates that uTorrent is still far more popular than Popcorn Time in Europe, with traffic for the “Netflix for pirates” dwindling to to almost nothing at night. Popcorn Time, the upstart tipped as the piracy service of the future, still has a ways to go to catch traditional download programs like uTorrent.
