'''UDP Torrent Protocol''' is a new protocol based upon UDP. It aims to decrease latency of peers, but still maximize bandwidth when the latency is not excessive. In addition, information from uTP transport, if active, is used to control the transfer rate of TCP connections to prevent disruption of the used internet connection.<ref>[http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com.au/articles/27957-Torrents-of-Disruption-on-the-Way- Techinal information about UDP]</ref> uTP will be fully featured in the new [[uTorrent]] 1.9 but has partially been featured in 1.8.x, the latest uTorrent public beta versions also use uTP.<ref>[http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20081201-utorrents-switch-to-udp-and-why-the-sky-isnt-falling.html µTorrent's switch to UDP and why the sky isn't falling]</ref><ref>[http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/3807-utorrent-shifts-towards-udp-to-make-it-work-better.html uTorrent shifts towards UDP to make it work better]</ref>
