uTorrent Almost Doubles Users to 52 Million in a Year

Wow, the popularity of Linux distros really skyrocketed this year, according to TorrentFreak. In November last year, uTorrent had 28 million unique users. A year later, November 2009 unique users numbered 52 million. Looks like people are finding their sources despite the legal issues hitting The Pirate Bay, Mininova, and isoHunt.

TorrentFreak asked Simon Morris, BitTorrent’s VP of Product Management, if this growth is also reflected in the usage stats of uTorrent. "Probably the emergence of things like Hulu and continued growth of Youtube make it seem like Bittorrent is not the only thing driving demand for consumer bandwidth. But we see no evidence whatever that BitTorrent clients are any less popular," Morris told TorrentFreak.
