Did you upgrade to macOS Catalina?

Most users say it’s the most fluid Macexperience, ever. The new operating system is cleaner, and it brought some coolfeatures. We’re able to access more apps by pairing the Mac with an iPad.

But Catalina also brought us troubles.Apple decided to ditch all 34-bit apps and focus only on a 64-bit architecture.This means that if you were using uTorrent Classic, it no longer works.Thousands of users have been complaining about uTorrent not working on Mac. The developers of this app say that you can useuTorrent Web with the same effectiveness.

If you tried uTorrent Web, you know thatit’s not the same thing as having a dedicated uTorrent Mac app. The app iscleaner, faster, and more convenient than the browser extension. As any otherextension, it slows down the browser. We don’t want that.

The fact that qBittorrent doesn’t have any ads makes it nearly the best torrent client for. QBittorrent is an interesting alternativ to the well-known µtorrent. A program that offers many interesting options for those users who need to download torrents. The main feature we can highlight is the search box. Yes, it includes a search box to search for torrents.

It’s time to look at a few uTorrentalternatives, which will set you up for effortless uploads and downloads.

Why Would You Need the uTorrent Catalina App?

There’s a stigma around Mac torrentclients. Many people are wondering: is the uTorrent Mac application legal? Yes.A torrent client is perfectly legal. It’s software that lets you download filesthrough torrents. Although it can be used as an illegal system for sharingfiles, it’s perfectly legit and safe to use for downloads that aren’t subjectedto distribution and copyright laws.

The uTorrent Catalina app enables you toshare files with your business partners, team members, and collaborators. Ifyou’re trying to upload large files, you can’t do that via email and you mightnot have enough space in Dropbox or another cloud-based service you’re using.That would make uTorrent alternatives must-have utility tools for entrepreneurs.

uTorrent Not Working on Mac – What Are Your Options?

There’s no new version of uTorrentCatalina app. Until the developers give us a 64-bit version of this software,we won’t be able to use it on our computers. The good news is that there areuTorrent alternatives that are just as effective as the app we’ve grown tolove. You won’t even notice the difference.

The best uTorrent Mac alternative for nowis Folx. It works in an identical way as your old app. It will download filesfrom magnet links and torrent trackers. You’ll get an excellent tool forsearching torrents, so you won’t have to visit several shady sites to find thefile you’re looking for. Everything happens within the app, so nothing willslow down your browser.

Magnet links are getting more popular,since they make uploading and downloading faster than ever. If you need software for sharing large files with collaborators, you’ll find Folx veryuseful.

You can integrate Folx with Apple Music,so any audio file you download will automatically sync with your library. Just makesure you stick with legit files, which don’t impose copyright issues. That’sthe main thing to remember when using any uTorrent Mac alternative.

If you’re looking for other alternativeswhen you face the “uTorrent not working on Mac” issue, you can try Transmissionand Deluge.

Transmission is a lightweight app thatwon’t burden your system. It gives you a list of local systems that you’reconnected with, so it can make business file sharing easy. It also supportsmagnet links, so it’s quick and effective.

Deluge is a tad more difficult to use,since it has three interfaces: browser, desktop, and command line.

Should We Be Concerned about uTorrent Not Working on Mac?

In the official statement by uTorrent, there’s no hint about the teamtrying to develop a 64-bit version of the uTorrent Mac app. They simply tell usthat Mac users will be automatically “upgraded” to uTorrent Web. That’s morelike a downgrade, but we’ll let them call it however they want to.

It’s hard to see uTorrent not working onMac. It was the favorite app for people who liked access to torrents. However,there are several alternatives available. You can choose one to replaceuTorrent with no issues.

MacOS Catalina is still pretty cool. Thefact that it doesn’t support 34-bit apps is bittersweet. Some of the apps weused on a daily basis are no longer available. That’s a bad thing, but it’salso good that we’re moving forward to 64-bit architecture. We all knew we weremoving in that directions, so uTorrent developers should’ve known better. Wehave two options: stick with macOS Mojave to keep using 32-bit apps or go withCatalina and search for alternatives of those apps.

Since there are 64-bit torrent clients that are pretty capable to get the workdone, uTorrent not working on Mac is no reason to delay the upgrade toCatalina. Now that’s a real upgrade.
