Without a public notice Google has compiled a seemingly arbitrary list of keywords for which auto-complete is no longer available. Although the impact of this decision does not currently affect full search results, it does send out a strong signal that Google is willing to censor its services proactively, and to an extent that is far greater than many expected.
Among the list of forbidden keywords are “uTorrent”, a hugely popular piece of entirely legal software and “BitTorrent”, a file transfer protocol and the name of San Fransisco based company BitTorrent Inc. As of today, these keywords will no longer be suggested by Google when you type in the first letter, nor will they show up in Google Instant.

One of the most asked question among BitTorrent users, specially the newbie ones, is “Which client should I use?” and a recent report (made by TorrentFreak) took two of the most famous clients, uTorrent and Vuze (Azureus); giving uTorrent a +16% difference regarding speed capabilities.
The BitTorrent protocol made a significant change in the Web area we live in, and today is the most important P2P protocol available. That’s why the associated clients have always been as different as they can be to prove users that each one always offers better speed, usability, scalability etc.
The study took and measured the speed of 10 million users over one month, and the results giving uTorrent defeating Vuze, also evaluates the possible reasons of why this is happening. Two of the main differences between these clients are: How they manage their neighborhood and how they distribute their upload capacity to their peers.
