LaCie 5big backThese days, it seems like we’re hearing less about torrents, but the technology is still alive and well, despite making less news. The company hopes to change that over the next couple of weeks as the holidays swiftly approach us. 

The company made a very short announcement, letting everyone know about different packages of BitTorrent and uTorrent going for one quarter off the regular price for both Windows and Apple operating systems. 

“From everyone on the BitTorrent team, we wish you a safe holiday season and a Happy New Year! From now until 1/3/2022, Windows and Mac-based BitTorrent and µTorrent premium products are 25% off. This includes Web and Classic Pro, Pro+VPN and Ad-Free for Windows and Mac. Enter code 2021Holiday at checkout to apply the coupon code and receive your discount.”

This time of year also means certain websites get active. NORAD gets ready to track Santa’s journey and Google is unleashing its Santa’s Village site.

This is more than just tracking St. Nick’s journey around the world on December 24th, there’s the chance to learn about holiday traditions in other countries, there will be a new one to study each day.

The service will even be compatible with Chromecast and Android Wear. In fact, you can even learn to code with games available throughout the month. There’s also information on charitable services so that you can help make the holidays a bit better for someone in need of cheer.

“Now before Santa flies like the dawn of a thistle, pay his village a visit—and help him and his elves get ready for the day Santa hits the clouds”, Google concludes. You can check it out here.
