A shift seems to be taking place in BitTorrent client trends. LimeWire has traditionally been the most-installed BitTorrent application around the world. However, its numbers have been on the decline as other BitTorrent clients have grown in popularity (http://torrentfreak.com/p2p-statistics-080426/). By doubling the number of installations that they ve had in a single year, uTorrent (http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/86302) seems poised to eclipse LimeWire in popularity. In fact, it s been argued that actual use (not just downloads) of the BitTorrent client is higher among uTorrent users today than it is with LimeWire users. Downloads seem to differ between countries with LimeWire remaining most popular in Australia and Canada and uTorrent a favorite in Europe.
