What it is
An open-source BitTorrent client. What sets it apart in this category is the absence of ads and bundled installers, and it is free for personal and business use. The program is a transfer tool; responsibility for what you transfer rests with you.
When to pick this
For large files distributed over BitTorrent, such as Linux images. For storing and syncing your own files, cloud storage is the right tool.
Details
No ads
No advertising in the window and nothing bundled into the installer — a common problem in this category, and a real reason to choose it.
Speed limits
Cap upload and download rates so a transfer does not slow down everything else on the connection.
Legitimate uses
Linux distributions, open-source software and large public datasets are distributed this way. Transferring copyrighted files carries legal consequences.
