It also has a Torrent Share feature that lets you get torrent files directly from other BitComet users.Īdvanced users will like having control over the read and write frequency of their storage drive, options you'll find by navigating to Tools > Option > Preferences > Advanced > Disk Cache. Once you get past the installation shenanigans, you're left with a popular and versatile BitTorrent client that lets you preview partial downloads before they're finished collecting bits from cyberspace. In our experience with BitComet, a single screen presented both options (another software program and a new homepage). It also attempts to change your browser's default homepage, so don't click through the installation process haphazardly. Quick warning-be careful when installing BitComet, because like uTorrent, it tries to slip in other software during the install process. Though it's lightweight, Deluge isn't short on features, like Local Peer Discovery, UPnP / NAT-PMP, proxy support, and support for private torrents, to name a few. You can then control the daemon using the Deluge client or through your browser. One of the neat things about Deluge is that it can run as a daemon or service, allowing you to install Deluge as a headless service that handles all BitTorrent activity and control it from a remote machine. It also supports a few dozen third-party browser and application plugins, which you can find here. There are a handful of first-party plugins that come pre-installed, like WebUI (start the web interface from within Deluge), Scheduler (limit Deluge bandwidth depending on schedule), Blocklist (download and import IP blocklists), and several others.

It's a lightweight program free of hidden software and ads. Deluge is another open-source, cross-platform BitTorrent client that somewhat resembles uTorrent, though it's not as fleshed out.
