BitTorrent Clients
There are a number of different programs you can use to download torrents. Each program works slightly differently, however they all interact with each other the same way using the BitTorrent protocol. This protocol defines how BitTorrent works, and helps people understand how to interact with other programs.
Our favourite client is uTorrent. However, there are so many BitTorrent clients you could use a different one every day of the week! Here's a list of the popular clients:
- BitComet
- Azureus
- BitTorrent (the original client)
- ABC
The protocol is open, which means that people can always create their own client - in fact, many people do! A quick search for 'torrent clients' reveals hundreds of options.
Most clients will come with an installer, and will associate themselves with .torrent files, so all you need to do is download the setup file and run it. If you have any questions, or need further help, please contact us.
