Tell us your torrent life story in the comments below. So when it comes to replacing the classic uTorrent of old, the winner is. Vuze is much more than a torrent app and will only appeal to people who enjoy the extra media packaging. Vuze is for people who are looking for a flexible media center app that also happens to download torrents. The plugin support is fantastic and opens up a whole new world of torrenting. I’m one of them.ĭeluge is for people who want to add a bit more spice to their chicken curry. And for most people out there, that’s all they need. It’s free, doesn’t have any ads, is lightweight, and has fast download speeds. QBittorrent is the modern equivalent of everything uTorrent used to stand for. You can also stream content to PS3/XBox 360 that’s on the same network. Using iTunes, the app will let you sync downloaded videos to your iPhone/iPad directly. The app also has the ability to stream downloaded content to other devices around you, including your TV. The app will play high definition videos without any problems. If you don’t use a dedicated media player like VLC or GOM, Vuze can help you out. Vuze’s web remote feature that lets you control your downloads from anywhere in the world is also pretty sweet. There’s an integrated torrent search engine and a dedicated subscriptions section. But the plethora of features make up for it. While it’s said to be lightweight, it really isn’t. Vuze is on the far end of torrenting apps. Related: Check out our guide on BitTorrent Sync that combines the best of Dropbox style cloud syncing with the peer-to-peer network of torrents.

Go to Deluge’s plugin page and see if anything interests you.Īll these plugins will mostly appeal to pro users. That’s the only reason to recommend Deluge. It has all the features of qBittorrent plus one extra thing that makes it great – plugin support. Delugeĭeluge, just like qBittorrent is lightweight yet powerful. Powerful queueing and prioritizing controls for multiple torrent downloads are also available. For RSS enthusiasts there’s an RSS feed reader and downloader as well. You’ll find the traditional seeds, peers, and trackers panel along with control over the specific file downloads. It just does the basic things right – and the internet lords reward it with full, unthrottled speed. QBittorrent is lightweight, open source and has the remote control feature we all love so much on uTorrent. For me, it was high time to find a 2005 alternative to uTorrent, without actually using the 2005 version of uTorrent.
