16 Jul, 2011, 11:28 am IST | by tech2 News Staff | Software

The infamous files sharing application, uTorrent, is likely to be releasing with a paid variant. Less than a month after the release of uTorrent 3.0, BitTorrent, the program’s parent company revealed plans to introduce a paid upgrade for users called uTorrent Plus. With close to 100 million active users a month, uTorrent is without a doubt the most-used BitTorrent client. However, this new version is still in development and unavailable for the public. This paid program, uTorrent plus, will eliminate codec problems, convert file formats and move content between devices.

uTorrent Plus will be available as an invite-only beta before it will be made public. Jordan Berson, Director of Product Management for uTorrent told TorrentFreak that no price has been set for the program as of now, but it will include new features. Berson said that uTorrent is designed for users who are looking to find, get and play content anywhere on their device. The download will probably be free on uTorrent sites, but file sharing will come with a price. However, no plans include any anti-piracy features in it.
