How do I get started with µTorrent Lite?

First, make sure you are running a supported browser, including Chrome, Edge or Safari. The next step is to find a .torrent file or a magnet link. If you are on a desktop PC, Chromebook, or Mac, you can drag the torrent file from the folder on your computer into µTorrent Lite, which is available at https://www.utorrent.com/lite/. Alternatively, you can paste the magnet link into the open field on https://www.utorrent.com/lite/. Both of these actions will begin the process of streaming your torrent file. If you need practice, below are some helpful tips once you have found a .torrent file or a magnet link:

For .torrent files

Find the torrent file you want to play, then click to download the .torrent file and save to your Downloads folder or your Desktop. Next, just drag the torrent file and drop it into the µTorrent Lite website.

If you are using an iPad, tap the torrent file and then tap ‘Download’ to save the torrent file to the Files folder on your iPad. Next, navigate to https://www.utorrent.com/lite/ and tap on ‘Choose a torrent file’, then tap ‘Choose Files’ and select the .torrent file that is in your Files folder. 

For magnet links

Find the torrent file you want to play, then copy the magnet link  to your clipboard. On Windows, right-click, then select ‘Copy link address’. Next, paste the magnet link into the µTorrent Lite website (CTRL+V).

On Mac, select Command-C or choose Edit > Copy. Next, paste the magnet link into https://www.utorrent.com/lite/ (Command-V).

On an iPad, tap and hold the magnet link to copy it to your clipboard. Next, navigate to https://www.utorrent.com/lite/ and tap into the open field to paste the magnet link, then tap ‘Go’.
