BitTorrent Speed
Get faster downloads and BTT token rewards.
- Powered by BTT token and the blockchain.
- Drives faster torrent download speeds.
- Earn BTT crypto torrent token.
How it Works
3 steps to faster torrent downloads and BTT rewards.
Step 1 - Enable your wallet
BitTorrent Speed is a feature that extends the traditional experience of our Windows and Mac-based torrent clients. When downloading or upgrading to the latest version of µTorrent Classic for Windows, or BitTorrent or µTorrent Web, a digital cryptocurrency wallet and a BTT token balance will be automatically enabled.
Step 2 - Enjoy faster download speeds
When downloading torrents, BitTorrent Speed automatically bids BitTorrent (BTT) to other users for faster speeds. Just use the torrent program like normal, there is nothing else you need to learn or do.
Step 3 - Earn BTT
When a torrent file finishes downloading, your BitTorrent client can automatically earn BTT by seeding. The longer you seed torrents, the more BTT crypto torrent tokens you may be able to earn.
Features
Earnings dashboard and encrypted wallet, all in one.
The Dashboard
Track and manage your earnings and improved download speed in one place.
The Wallet
Monitor your BTT assets in the encrypted Wallet. Send or receive tokens with a simple click.
Benefits
Reasons to try BitTorrent Speed.
Easy to use
The benefits of BitTorrent Speed are automated, including token bidding for faster downloads and BTT token rewards. There is nothing new you need to learn.
Backward compatible
Not interested in earning tokens with BitTorrent Speed? You can keep using your existing client, as it’s fully compatible with the new generation of BitTorrent Speed enabled torrent clients.
No mining
The blockchain does not need your computer resources to process transactions, so BitTorrent applications will never mine.
Free to use
Despite the addition of BitTorrent Speed, the family of BitTorrent products will always be free for everyone to use.
