UTorrent Plus Goes on Pre-Sale for $24.95

Plus will enable users to convert videos and transfer files to external devices. It also comes with built in anti-virus, remote file-transfers and a built in media player. Today BitTorrent Inc. announced that Plus will be released before the holidays and the client has been put on pre-sale for $24.95 a year.

None of these features are like "oh that would be handy" in fact all of them are "oh I already have a free tool that probably does that better".

I would expect people who torrent are slightly more savy than the bulk of internet users and have already found tools for these things if they have the need.

I am not trying to knock them for trying to find a business model for uTorrent as when I used it in the past it was a great experience. But this offering seems a bit weak.

I had filled in the pre-order form and was just going to click the final order button when I discovered that it is only valid for the PC/Windows version. I have both PC and Mac but uTorrent is running on my mac. Why not support both platforms with the pre-order?

This is tragic.
