Publisher's description
From University of Washington :BitTyrant is a new, protocol compatible BitTorrent client that is optimized for fast download performance. BitTyrant is Fast, during evaluation testing on more than 100 real BitTorrent swarms, BitTyrant provided an average 70% download performance increase when compared to the existing Azureus 2.5 implementation, with some downloads finishing more than three times as quickly. Fair, BitTorrent was designed with incentives in mind: if a user is downloading at 30 KBps, they should upload at 30 KBps. However, due to the unique workload properties of many real-world swarms, this is not always enforced.
BitTyrant is designed to make efficient use of your scarce upload bandwidth, rewarding those users whose upload allocations are fair and only allocating excess capacity to other users. Familiar, BitTyrant is based on modifications to Azureus 2.5, currently the most popular BitTorrent client. All of our changes are under the hood. Youll find the GUI identical to Azureus, with optional additions to display statistics relevant to BitTyrants operation. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

Version: BitTyrant 1.1.1
Pros: Came across this thread after using bittyrant f4 about 9 months now. I just found out that it had encryption so i was going to look it up. Encrypt. is under adv.user. I just left it n beginner mode & client is a great client.hope they update itsoon.
Cons: I like the whole product.
Summary: Great product, those that say its slow are not on the right torrents, and even if they were, download several torrents at once & it works fine. A++

Version: BitTyrant 1.1.1
Pros: Nothing extraordinary/impressive
Does have a simple user interface, but uTorrent has that too.Cons: Average download speeds
Summary: I tried BitComet, uTorrent and BitTyrant and this one is has the slowest download speed.
While BitComet was the fastest (in my experience), uTorrent has a smaller footprint, and a cleaner, hassle-free user experience. - See all 4 user reviews Write review
