Featured Freeware: uTorrent
This torrent utility is simultaneously one of the easiest to use but also one of the most robust. The uTorrent executable adds a directory and some option information to your PC, but it is still small enough to run off an old USB key. It leaves a minuscule memory footprint, barely touching system resources. What it does hog is your Internet pipeline, but that's easy enough to adjust to your needs with built-in throttling features.
Included are both a torrent search bar that links to MiniNova and a handy RSS feed download function. Subscribe to select feeds, and uTorrent automatically downloads files as they publish. Adding, starting, pausing, and listing torrents takes merely a click or two each. A speed guide helps you test your ports and adjust system settings for optimal performance, and the advanced features make this one of the most customizable torrent clients in terms of both user experience and torrent handling.

1. size
2. system resources
utorrent is good on
1. handling torrents (which is essentially what it's meant for)
2. customization
i don't see any reason to criticize such a light packaging of a wonderful way to handle torrents.
