Presenting Xtorrent: BitTorrent Done Right

With the RIAA suing grandparents and children every week and P2P apps gaining a reputation for carrying spyware and viruses, many people have been switching to BitTorrent over the past few years. Today, it’s estimated that BitTorrent downloads are using over 30% of the internet’s entire bandwidth and some people are even claiming that it is threatening net neutrality. I know they’ve been blaming my blog as well for tying up the internet, but I’ll admit it, torrents are a little bit more popular than PhillRyu.com. ;)

The thing is, despite BitTorrent’s popularity, torrent apps have always remained a bit hard to use unlike apps like Limewire, forcing users to wade through torrent trackers, find their file, make sure it has enough seeders, and then open the downloaded torrent file in their torrent app of choice to begin the download. Not the most user friendly process for us, uh, media enthusiasts.

That’s why I was pretty excited to hear from my friend David Watanabe that his next app is fixing these problems once and for all. And, you guys, my readers, are the first to see what this solution is. It’s called Xtorrent, and it’s BitTorrent done right.

As you may or may not know, David is known best for Acquisition, the Limewire alternative with class. His experience in creating arguably the best P2P experience on any platform has paid off with Xtorrent. This is about as seamless of an experience as you could ask for. Search for files, double click, and bam, they begin to download. The only question I have is, why didn’t anyone do this before??
