Newcomers to the wondrous joys of the world’s greatest peer-to-peer file sharing protocol are always asking one question: “Which BitTorrent client is best?”
It’s a question that doesn’t have a definitive answer. Some clients are written for specific operating systems, some are cross-platform. At least one runs on Java. There are also clients geared toward more advanced users that would surely make a newbie’s head spin.
One thing is for certain: The client defines the BitTorrent experience for the user, so regardless of knowledge or skill level, each user must find a client that suits his or her needs best.
Last week, we reviewed the most popular BitTorrent clients on the Monkey Bites blog. We have concentrated on free clients, and we narrowed our search to clients built exclusively for BitTorrent. Some stellar products have integrated BitTorrent functionality, such as the Opera web browser, but we wanted to review the best stand-alone clients.
The result is our list of the five best choices for sharing.
