Official BitTorrent Client

Review Date : Thu, 13 Apr 2006

The official program from the makers of BitTorrent is the most basic, lacking many of the bells and whistles of other applications.

The official program from the makers of BitTorrent is the most basic, lacking many of the bells and whistles of other applications. While it’s simple to set up and get going, it lacks the visual niceties and ease of use of the competition.

It’ll let you download multiple files at the same time but not by default – you’ll need to dig through the settings to enable it. Capping uploads is simple enough via the big slider bar in the main window but there’s no facility for additional functionality through plug-ins.

Verdict

The official program is functional and does the job, but try the competition and you’ll soon find it lacking.
