uTorrent Considers Charging Users For Torrent Client

uTorrent is one of the most popular torrent clients in the world, and the developers are looking towards changing its revenue model. There is no clear announcement yet, but a forum post by the devs indicate that the team is looking for a way to fund development of the client without resorting to ads.

While there was no specific mention of a pay version of uTorrent, but the intent of the post was quite clear. Until now, uTorrent has been supported by ads and bundled software. Both of which have had a negative impact on the user experience. The company behind it now wants to “find a better way” going forward.

The post also spells out precisely what the team intends to do here; which is provide clear options for users to support uTorrent – with options for every budget. Whether this means that the free version of the software is going away is unknown, but it is likely that uTorrent will eventually become a pay-to-own piece of software. It could also potentially result in a subscription type service; a model that has become very popular as of late.

This could possibly lead to the entirely surreal situation of people torrenting uTorrent to torrent more torrents.
