BitTornado Description

The BitTorrent protocol is undoubtedly one of the most common ways to share files throughout the Web since it supports high speeds, due to the large community that uses it. BitTornado is a software application that uses the aforementioned protocol in order to facilitate people in downloading items from the Internet, with the help of some pretty basic features. Seamless installation process and clean GUIThe setup process runs quite smooth, without offering to download any third-party products or other unpleasant surprises. Its completion brings you to a pretty straightforward interface, displaying details about the files currently downloading and a few settings. However, you should keep in mind that it is not quite appealing. It might prove a bit difficult to handle for novice users, as it does enclose any Help contents, being forces to rely on a trial and error technique to get around it. View details about downloading item and single-file download capabilities Just like this app, most initial BitTorrent clients featured basic functions that only allowed users to download a file at a time, yet benefiting from great download speeds. Consequently, the feature set provided by this program is quite limited, especially considering the developer has abandoned the project some time ago, so the tool is bound to prove unable to meet the demands of the modern users. The main window offers some details about the downloading item, such as time elapsed and download rate. By accessing the “Details” window you make it possible to view further information about a torrent such as tracker, creation date, archive size and hash, as well as a list of containing files. Preferences which can be customizedThe settings panel enables you to customize the utility’s colors, change the output directory, enable file locking and input a local IP, minimum number of peers, allocation rate, maximum files open and default seeding mode. In addition to that, it is possible to select your Internet connection type (e.g. automatic, dial-up, cable etc.) and adjust the maximum number of simultaneous uploads and the upload rate. Performance and conclusionSince it has been discontinued, this program is not the best software solution when it comes to speed, but the real problem is that most trackers do not support it anymore, so users might need to look somewhere else for a high-performance tool. All in all, BitTornado is a pretty decent piece of software which does not burden the system’s performance and can be handles quite easily. Nevertheless, there are many other similar products that perform better and are still supported. Reviewed by Madalina Boboc, last updated on July 7th, 2014
