The torrent phenomenon is one of the most hyped about in the world of
technology among Peer to Peer (P2P) users. It consists of sharing large
files, like movies, software, or games anonymously and quickly with other
peers. The file you want to download is cut up into small segments shared by
users, creating what is called a swarm, and does not go through a central
server, significantly reducing the bulk of file transfers, The Bittorrent
client is actually the first P2P application to use this technology and
became immensely popular when it was released. Torrents are considered by
online users as a great way to download recently released movies or tv shows.
Thanks to a straightforward, uncluttered interface Bittorrent appears as a
friendly torrent client that beginners will feel comfortable with. We
particularly appreciated the integrated search box to look for files on the
bittorrent website. Once you've found the torrent you want, download it to
your PC, open it up inside Bittorrent and let the client do its job. The
speed at which you download will depend on the number of seeds, that is
people who have the complete file and are sharing it. The more seeds there
are the quicker files will download. You can set multiple torrent downloads
and the downloading speed is fairly quick. It's easy to configure the
client and we suggest choosing the right port and setting upload and download
rate limits to avoid hogging your bandwidth. It's also good to set your
downloads by priority to monitor more precisely how your torrents are doing.
Compared to the exhaustive Azureus, Bittorrent is very simplistic. It
doesn't provide half as many statistics and doesn't let you customize the
interface. Integrating a search box is a great idea, but it limits searches
to the bittorrent website, not considered the most thorough source by torrent
aficionados. If you're a newbie to the torrent world, Bittorrent is a good
bet. It's safe, stable and sharp. Associated with the huge database of
legal torrents that is the bittorrent website, it makes for a very rich P2P
experience. Advanced users will probably frown upon its lack of options but
others should give it a try.Download *BitTorrent 7.6.1* in Softonic
