To setup uTorrent Web on your computer, you can download and install the required files like any other Windows software.
After successful installation, a shortcut is created on the desktop which opens uTorrent Web in your web browser. You can continue to use the shortcut or bookmark the localhost URL in your browser for easier access.

In comparison to its classic sibling, uTorrent Web doesn’t offer much in terms of features. The main screen of uTorrent Web features a search box which loads users’ queries (after adding ‘torrent’ to the query) in Google Search in a new browser tab.
uTorrent Web can automatically run when Windows boots and also capture torrent downloads. So, your downloads won’t discontinue even if you close the web browser. This might create some trouble during initial use as the user may forget to pause downloads and later face trouble using the internet. The torrent client notifies the user of its presence through an icon present in the notifications area.
You can move down slightly to see the Torrent Feed that lists all your torrent downloads. You can use the different filters and sorting options to arrange them as per your liking. It also offers the Force Start feature for downloading torrents.
There are two ways to add and stream torrents using uTorrent Web. First, the user can click the +Torrent button where are options to upload torrent files and add magnet links. Second, the user can drag and drop a torrent file directly into the browser window.
Exploring further, click the gear button in the top-right corner to open up more settings uTorrent Web offers. There you can choose whether to start the torrent client after Windows startup. Also, the checkbox “Open each torrent in new tab” is more helpful when the torrent contains a video file. The option allows users to view multiple torrent files at the same time. The Settings page also includes the option to manage upload and download bandwidth for torrent streaming and downloads.
As soon as you hook up a new torrent, you can stream torrents instantly. In fact, the playback starts automatically if the torrent includes a video file. You can still see the download progress below the media player.
