"Works great."
Version: BitTorrent 7.8
Pros
This is a great client that isn't heavy on system resources. My PC is a bit low on system resources, so this works great. I used to use Vuze , but I almost couldn't do anything else while it was running because it was too heavy for my PC. This is not the case with BitTorrent. I can easily multitask while this is running.
Secondly, it almost maxes out my connection without tweaking any of the settings, downloading at the highest speeds possible for healthy torrents (although I should say my connection is on the slower side)
I have only changed two settings on it:
- I put a limit to upload bandwidth (the default is 0 = unlimited) [If you have a fast upload and purely unlimited connection, you should just leave it at 0)
- I changed the location of my downloads (the default was a place in C drive , but my drive is short of space)
Basically, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you are unsatisfied with its performance, then you could tweak connectivity settings and check.Cons
None, really. However pay attention when you install it because it tries to install a toolbar and a couple of other things. If you do not want those, then pay attention, read closely and uncheck/ deselect those items.
I would not call this as one of the 'cons' though because like many other free softwares it tries to install other things on your PC. But,you do have an option to deselect them.Summary
As I mentioned , great client. An alternative (similar) to it is Utorrent, which is provided by the same company.
