A paid upgrade to the popular torrent manager uTorrent is in the works, the makers of the program have announced today. Less than a month after the release of uTorrent 3.0 (download), the program's parent company, BitTorrent, Inc., revealed their plans to introduce a paid upgrade called uTorrent Plus. Still in development and unavailable to the public, the blog post announcing uTorrent Plus promises to include tools that will eliminate codec problems, convert file formats, and move content between devices.

Also in that blog post, Jordy Berson, Director of Product Management for µTorrent, promised that the free version, "will receive the same level of commitment and development resources as it does now." Around 100 million people call uTorrent their preferred torrent manager. To put that number in perspective, the security suite AVG Antivirus Free claims around 110 million active users, while Google CEO Larry Page just revealed that the Chrome browser has about 160 million users.

"µTorrent Plus is designed for people who are looking for a single solution to find, get and play content anywhere, on any device," Berson wrote. The price point for uTorrent Plus has not been announced, The company has also created a sign-up page for people who want more information on uTorrent Plus.
