Install uTorrent on Android
First, go to the Play Store, click on Install and wait for the download of uTorrent terms.
If you prefer instead to install the paid version (costs 3.99 dollars), then install uTorrent Pro from the Play Store.
In fact, the Pro version has several advantages:
- allows the use of the program without any advertising interruption;
- automatically stops Torrent when the battery is about to discharge;
- automatically closes the app when a Torrent download is finished.
Configure uTorrent on Android
- Open uTorrent and click on the button with the three lines vertically (top left).
- Now select Settings and from the screen you are viewing you can configure uTorrent.
- If you click on the download limit and upload limit you can set the limits based on your needs.
- Select On for Auto Start if you want the app to start automatically when the device turns on.
- Select On for Wifi Networks only if you prefer to download Torrent only from Wifi and not under 3G/4G network.
- The first three options under the heading Pro ( without advertising, auto power off and battery saver ) are obviously available only for uTorrent Pro.
Download from uTorrent on Android

- If you download a .Torrent file by clicking on Download in a site, you must go to the Android Download app or file manager, and open the file with uTorrent, while if the visited site supports Magnet Links, click directly on its icon (usually a red magnet) to automatically start the download on uTorrent.
