uTorrent is the Most Used BitTorrent Client By Far

Ernesto, writing for TorrentFreak: With help from iknowwhatyoudownload we looked at over 25 million logged BitTorrent connections on a single day last week. This reveals that more than two-thirds (68.6%) of these were using uTorrent's desktop version.

Although no longer officially supported, there are also hundreds of thousands of people who still use uTorrent for Mac. The most popular Mac client, however, appears to be Transmission. This is a notable change compared to a decade ago when its market share was much lower. Although Transmission also has a beta Windows release, that userbase is believed to be relatively small.
