uTorrent Plus available for pre-order

PanARMENIAN.Net - Back in July BitTorrent Inc. announced that its very popular free torrent-downloading client uTorrent would be getting a premium version called uTorrent Plus. In return for paying to use uTorrent, users would gain the ability to “find, get and play content anywhere.”

Four months later and it looks as though uTorrent Plus is almost ready to launch. BitTorrent has just added the option to pre-order the software, and by doing so announced the price to be paid for the all-in-one solution: $24.95 per year, Geek.com reports.

The actual pre-order offer gives the user an additional 6 months of use making it a better deal. In return the user gets all the functionality of the free version with the addition of a built-in antivirus solution, a HD media player (complete with all the codecs needed), the ability to download content remotely, and conversion tools for multiple formats including for Apple and Android devices.

uTorrent is thought to have more than 100 million users, so even if a small percentage of them decide to buy uTorrent Plus it could form a significant amount of new income for BitTorrent Inc.
