The uTorrent application is a popular download manager, widely used for large internet files. However, it is an application that still maintains the 32-bit architecture, so it is not possible to use it in operating systems such as macOS Catalina and later. However, there is a 64-bit uTorrent alternative available for Mac computers.
Download 64-bit uTorrent in web version
There are some alternatives to uTorrent for Mac , but as not all of them have 64-bit versions.

During the time it takes for the file to download, it is important not to close the window , as that would cause the download to be completely canceled. You will be able to see on the screen the remaining time to finish, as well as the amount of data that has already been downloaded and those that remain.
