The Windows application supports Windows 7 and later, including Windows 11, and can open both torrent files and magnet links. Users can choose where downloads are saved and manage transfers through features such as speed limits, scheduling, and queue controls. RSS-feed support can automate downloads of new items from selected channels, while remote management lets users control torrents on a home computer through a web interface.

The site also describes streaming video and music while downloads are in progress, a feature associated with uTorrent Web; the classic client is installed on a computer. The page promotes free downloads and notes that versions without advertising and with additional features are available. It provides installation guidance, troubleshooting advice, and contact support.
