μTorrent is a great option when making our downloads.
Greetings Friends
What is it μTorrent?
P2P networks.
Fuente
It is a program whose main function is to share files between users through the network, this program uses the P2P protocol, which consists of different computers that share connections between them. The main idea of μTorrent is to share the same file to many people at the same time, that is why the more people are downloading files at the same time, the faster the download, as more people will have the file on their computers and may be shared with other users.
The files are uploaded and downloaded among the same users, so it does not depend on a specific server, thus allowing them to last much longer on the network, unlike other download servers. Through this program we can download all kinds of files, from a music file, to a video game, but everything depends on its availability, because if the file we are looking for does not exist with the .torrent extension, unfortunately we will not be able to download it.
Generally this program is used to download very heavy files, since depending on the number of people who have that specific file, the download will be much faster and sometimes exceed the capacity that allows our internet. Another advantage is that even if the equipment is turned off or the program is closed, the download continues on restarting, thus avoiding the possible loss of data. This feature is essential when downloading large files.
Advantages of using μTorrent to download our files
We can download several files at once, in addition to pausing and resuming them whenever we want.

Downloads are faster
No matter how many times we pause the download, unlike other download systems, this allows us to pause and resume it, almost without risk of damaging the files.
It is very safe, very few files with .torrent termination have viruses, which is why it is a very good option for downloads.
It allows us to choose between many types of files that are the same, but with different sizes.
When using this program to download files, we can be quite calm about the performance of our team, since it does not consume too many resources of our pc, so it does not slow it down.
You can find almost all the files that we search, this due to the gigantic amount of users that make life in the platform. This allows us to locate what we are looking for, without navigating through countless pages.
There are many pages that offer us .torrent files.

We will always know which of the options will be downloaded faster, because the more "SEEDS" or "SEMILLAS" have that option, the more people are sharing that same file, so the download will be much faster.
We have the option to choose the device to turn off when the file download is finished.
Disadvantages of using μTorrent
Everything has its disadvantages, it is up to us to decide whether we try it or not.

It's bad enough to download small files.
Being P2P publishes our PC to all servers, which makes it easier to enter our team and see our documents.
You may not find the torrent file instantly.
There may be viruses in the .torrent files, although I said earlier that they are very clean in that sense, being Internet files, unfortunately some may be infected with computer viruses. It is advisable to have a good antivirus when using this program, for greater security.
Personal opinion
Personally μTorrent seems to me a great program, very useful and efficient to download large files. Through this program I have located several very complicated files to find, for which I have used the program, I have not had many problems with it, but after downloading the file, I have uninstalled the program, due to one of the disadvantages that point out earlier, being P2P allows access to some of our files and I do not like that feature, since there are many users with great computer skills who can access them very easily and with bad intentions.
Any program that can steal important information should be treated with caution.

I recommend downloading this program on a computer where we do not have any personal information, and we can only dedicate it to downloads of this type of files. On the contrary, in our personal computer, I do not recommend having it installed for a long time. For everything else it seems an excellent option when downloading heavy files, for its great ease and speed in doing so.
