You'll need a free torrent client if you want to download files over the BitTorrent network. Once you've located a torrent file from a torrent website, you'll need some way to download it — and that's where a torrent client becomes necessary.

Syllabus— Fall 2009. Carolina Ruiz. Weka is an excellent data-mining environment. It provides a large collection of Java-based mining algorithms, data preprocessing filters, and experimentation capabilities. Weka is open source software issued under the GNU General Public License. For more information on the Weka system.

There are several different kinds of free torrent clients. Some torrent clients have more features than others and some even run from a website, meaning you don't need to install any software at all.

Below is an updated list of the best free torrent programs and web services available online. Use any of these clients with your torrent files to download content over the BitTorrent network.

While these programs are free and legal to use, it doesn't mean the actual content you're downloading via the torrent is legally available in this way. You should be familiar with the copyright laws in your country before using a torrent client to download movies, music, software programs, etc.

Torrent Software Collection 2009 Wpial

If you're not sure about the legality of downloading movies or music via torrents, or you keep running into fake torrents, please know that there are plenty of places where you can download movies for free, legally. There are also legal methods to getting free music, like with free music streaming services, free online radio stations, and websites that offer free music downloads.

uTorrent

What We Like

• Uses very little in the way of system resources.

• Most commonly used client.

• Simple interface.

What We Don't Like

• Ad-supported.

• Comes with bundled software.

• Lacks search function.

uTorrent is one of the more popular free torrent clients. The installer size is tiny and only a fraction of system resources are used when the program is running.

Software Collection

You can subscribe to RSS feeds in uTorrent to automatically download new torrent items that are pushed through the feed.

uTorrent Remote is a feature that comes built-in that allows remote monitoring and administration of your uTorrent client. You can add, pause, and delete torrents from any browser or Android device.

This free torrent client can be installed on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems, as well as Android devices.

FileStream.me

What We Like

• Keeps IP addresses private.

• Mobile versions available.

• Secure file transfer.

• Queued downloads.

What We Don't Like

• No protection against viruses.

• Access to features such as dedicated servers, speed boosts, and more requires premium membership.

FileStream.me is another online torrent client that works by entering torrent links or uploading torrent files into your account and then having FileStream.me upload the files for you so you can then download them through your browser.

The free version of FileStream.me is ad supported, limits torrents to 200 MB for each file, gives you three days to download your torrents, can hold up to 200 GB of data, can fetch two torrents at once, and might restrain your download speed if you're downloading lots of files.

However, it does hide your IP address, let you resume downloads, allows streaming video and audio files, offers an Android client, and doesn't limit your monthly access.

Since FileStream.me runs from a browser, you can use it to download torrents on any OS that supports a modern web browser.

ZBIGZ

What We Like

• No software required.

• Easy signup, with no personal details collected.

• Available in mobile version.

What We Don't Like

• Severely limited compared to premium memberships.

• Not ideal for private torrents.

ZBIGZ is similar to Filestream in that it downloads and seeds torrents for you and then lets you download the files as regular HTTP data. Because it works this way, it may be preferred if your ISP is restricting your access to torrent downloads.

Among other limitations, ZBIGZ allows your torrents to be no larger than 1 GB. Plus, your download speeds are topped off at a mere 150 KB/s.

The ZBIGZ online torrent client works for any operating system that can load the web page, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

BitLord

What We Like

• Easy-to-use search function.

• Can play downloads on Chromecast before download completes.

• Helpful download organization features.

• Channel subscriptions.

What We Don't Like

• Website sometimes flagged as hosting harmful software.

• Installer makes changes to computer configuration and adds software, unless user explicitly opts out.

You can password protect the BitLord program, stream video/audio before the download is complete, and search for torrents inside the program without leaving the client.

You can also add RSS feeds to BitLord to help keep track of new torrent releases.

BitLord is a free torrent downloader for Windows and macOS.

Vuze

What We Like

• Simple, easy-to-use interface.

• Premium version offers virus protection and preview capability.

• Can extend functions through plugins.

• Pause function with automatic resumption after specified time.

What We Don't Like

• Ad-supported.

• Installer adds browser toolbar unless you opt out.

Another free torrent program is Vuze (formerly Azureus). There are tons of awesome features in this program, such as media playback support and a built-in browser for searching for torrents.

Vuze lets you control its functions from a browser or desktop client.

A folder that connects directly to iTunes is included in Vuze so that you can drag downloaded media into it to include them in your iTunes library.

Vuze can automatically hibernate your PC, shut it down, or run a program when downloading or seeding is finished.

For more features, you can get Vuze Plus. It comes with DVD burning capabilities, a built-in antivirus tool, and removes ads.

The Vuze torrent client can be installed for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

FrostWire

What We Like

• Lightweight.

• No ads.

• Works on a broad variety of platforms.

• Easy file sharing.

What We Don't Like

• Unnecessary programs bundled in installation file.

FrostWire can search for torrent files on several websites at once, with available filters to narrow down results by file size and seed count.

There are also tons of Internet radio stations included with FrostWire with the ability to add custom streams.

In addition to using it on Windows, macOS, or Ubuntu OS, a FrostWire app is available for other devices, too, like Android. If on the web, you can chat with other FrostWire users through their community chat room.

Deluge

What We Like

• Compatible with variety of platforms.

• Easy to use.

• Highly customizable and expandable.

• Optional encryption.

What We Don't Like

• Sparse interface.

• No in-app search function.

• Infrequent updates.

Deluge is a pretty simple, free torrent client. You can adjust the max upload slots and speeds, as well as download speeds and encryption.

Trading Software Collection

There are plenty of plugins you can grab for expanding Deluge's settings. There are plugins for an email notifier, scheduler, web interface, stats, auto RSS downloader, and many others.

Deluge is available for many Linux distributions along with macOS and Windows.

BitComet

What We Like

• Highly configurable.

• Familiar-looking, easy-to-use interface.

• Chat function.

BitComet is a free torrent program with remote access and virus scanning.

There are advanced options like scheduled bandwidth limits, long-term seeding, and CometID VIP Acceleration.

BitComet can be configured to auto shut down, reboot, hibernate, or sleep when all downloads are complete, which is a useful function.

You can install BitComet on Windows computers only.

Portable Software Collection

qBittorrent

What We Like

• Broad compatibility.

• User-friendly.

• No ads.

• Encryption option.

What We Don't Like

• Not as extendable as some other programs.

qBittorent has a clean interface with a password protection option, built-in RSS reader and web browser, web interface for remote control, and many detailed advanced options like anonymous mode and defining a particular network interface for transmissions.

Even with the advanced features, qBittorrent is easy to use and isn't confusing in the slightest.

The following is a general comparison of BitTorrent clients, which are computer programs designed for peer-to-peer file sharing using the BitTorrent protocol.^[1]

The BitTorrent protocol coordinates segmented file transfer among peers connected in a swarm. A BitTorrent client enables a user to exchange data as a peer in one or more swarms. Because BitTorrent is a peer-to-peercommunications protocol that does not need a server, the BitTorrent definition of client differs from the conventional meaning expressed in the client–server model.^[1]

Bram Cohen, author of the BitTorrent protocol, made the first BitTorrent client, which he also called BitTorrent, and published it in July 2001.^[2]

Many BitTorrent programs are open-source software; others are freeware, adware or shareware. Some download managers, such as FlashGet and GetRight, are BitTorrent-ready. Opera 12, a web browser, can also transfer files via BitTorrent.

In 2013 Thunder Networking Technologies publicly revealed that some of their employees surreptitiously distributed a Trojan horse with certain releases of Xunlei, the company's BitTorrent-ready download manager.^[3][4] Xunlei is included in the comparison tables.

Features I[edit]

Features II[edit]

1. ^ ^abcdx86-32 and x86-64builds available
2. ^Announcements to the tracker are made via IPv6 if possible, but the client doesn't listen on the respective port.
3. ^Qdbus interface
4. ^For a torrent added from a Magnet link, obtain the list of files (and other metadata) before prompting the user for a download location.
5. ^Automatically configure port forwarding (requires Router with UPnP support)
6. ^Many clients claim to support this, but just UPnP calls for opening a TCP port is not effective and disabled by factory default in most new hardware. 'UDP NAT Traversal' is the proper working solution, supported by just a few.
7. ^DHT permits use of trackerless torrents (with supporting clients) to resume normal torrents when their tracker is down. However, some trackers that register their users for keeping tabs on fair usage (such as a ratio of bytes downloaded to uploaded) may not reliably measure and update usage for users employing DHT.
8. ^ ^abTracker included with Linux binaries and with source, but not with Windows binary.
9. ^ ^abExchanging with BT 6 and µTorrent clients (and now MooPolice).
10. ^It's UDP based, an experimental feature and only supported by other Azureus based clients.
11. ^ ^abHas its own DHT, a mainline-DHT compatible implementation is available as plugin.
12. ^µTorrent's DHT implementation is the same as Mainline and BitComet's, but unfortunately this is incompatible with Azureus's implementation.
13. ^Since Shareaza v2.6.0.0, Shareaza includes Mainline DHT support. Also, Shareaza can use the Gnutella2 network to find other Gnutella2 clients sharing the same torrent. This also includes clients who do not actively seed the torrent in question anymore, as long as file hashes (such as sha1 for example) are known.
14. ^Since Shareaza v2.5.5.1 r9064.
15. ^Exchanges with µTorrent and Azureus peers.
16. ^Since version 2.5.0.2. It's UDP based, an experimental feature and only supported by other Azureus clients.
17. ^Reduces disk usage, file fragmentation (in case it is not preallocated) and latencies via larger written blocks and cached data for hash checking finished pieces.
18. ^ ^abcdefgDoes not support HTTPS.
19. ^Called 'preview mode'
20. ^ ^abcdDoes not support HTTP redirection (status codes: 301, 302, 303, 307).
21. ^Only available in Pro and web version
22. ^ ^abProvides a Java-based and a simple HTML/JS based WebUI.
23. ^Only available in Pro and web version.From version 3.0 this feature is called 'Streaming mode'. The number of pieces to download sequentially is configurable
24. ^Opera has a feed aggregator that displays feeds like emails.
25. ^Since Shareaza v2.4.0.2 r7924.
26. ^Since Shareaza v2.5.3.1.
27. ^Shareaza also uses G2 to transmit download metadata, such as BitTorrent trackers to other G2 clients.
28. ^Maximum active torrent number depends on respective user settings and is limited to 31.
29. ^Support only base path ('url-list' path) redirection (message: 'HTTP redirect does not match file path').
30. ^Adds HTTP referer header in request on HTTP redirection (useful behavior).

Vulnerabilities[edit]
