uTP was first publicly introduced in the alpha builds of [[µTorrent]] 1.9, though partial support for the protocol was already implemented in the µTorrent 1.8.x Beta branches.<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>

Because it is still being implemented, uTP protocol features are typically hidden or made obscure in the client user interfaces of the BitTorrent clients that support it. There is no open source uTP protocol codebase at this time, making this feature's support with other BitTorrent clients much less uniform. It may take until late 20092010 or early 20102011 until this feature is readily accessible with a user friendly interface.
