List of the 8 Best Torrent P2P software ever

ARRRR! You want to start using torrents? Well we have just the tools you need — we have compiled a revised list of the best torrenting applications ranging from stripped down, barebone apps, to full fledged media suites. We have every thing you need — now get to it! “Thar she blows!”

 

BitComet

BitComet takes a unique approach to torrenting that a lot of users will find appealing. The app uses an interface heavily borrowed from Windows Explorer — with a touch from the basic BitTorrent template — that will surely give users an instantly familiar experience.

Vuze

Formerly known as Azureus, Vuze takes things to a whole new level. Vuze takes the BitTorrent foundation and builds on top of it, bringing a network for video discovery and user-created video publishing to the table, as well as social networking. The actual application is real eye candy as well!

uTorrent

uTorrent takes a completely different approach to the apps listed above — it’s goal is to be as lightweight as possible. uTorrent isn’t just small though, it’s smart — While you’re torrenting, your connection will slow down. uTorrent has an answer to that called uTorrent Protocol, or uT — it’s a system that detects network congestion and slows down the torrent until the traffic jam has dissipated.

uTorrent Portable

Just when you thought uTorrent couldn’t get smaller, you were wrong. The portable version of uTorrent uses just under 6MB of memory and can run on Windows 2000 through to Windows 7 — making it the ultimate on-the-go solution.

BitTorrent

The Brother of uTorrent, BitTorrent sets out to allow users to have a choice. Previously, BitTorrent had lacked most features that other torrent clients had been using for months, but after being bought by uTorrent, BitTorrent has access to everything it lacked, and more.

Miro

Miro is not meant to be a torrent client (even though it does torrents), it is meant to be the ultimate, cross platform and open-source, media aggregator. You can watch Hulu, subscribe to podcasts and download (and interact with) torrents within this single app.

About / Download

 

BitSpirit

BitSpirit is torrenting for dummies, and is probably the most easy to use torrent client around. There’s nothing really exciting about BitSpirit, but what makes it one of the best is that it does torrenting really well. Clean, simple and effective.

About / Download

 

 

Transmission

Transmission is the only torrenting app you need if you don’t use Windows. Available on Mac, every distro of Linux imaginable and even embedded systems like the WD MyBook or the ReadyNAS. Truly a champion when it comes to other OS support.
