Other Pro features include built-in virus protection, an HD player and file converter to play files across all platforms – including mobile and Apple TV.You will notice a few additional updates: our website now has a new look and feel to give it a more modern design, and we have launched a new Help Center designed to aid users in getting the most out of the client.µTorrent Pro will continue to be updated with new features as we continue to work to make it the best experience.

N4TE_B Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 There have been no announcements regarding the development of a new torrent client with a smaller system footprint than is currently available. That being said, stay tuned for news from BitTorrent Inc. on other technologies that may provide what you are after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcvet Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Haven't yet upgraded to Pro. How does the file conversion work? Is it possible to set up a default preference so any mkv or avi file is automatically converted to mp4 when downloading, or are there additional steps post-download?
