List of BitTorrent clients

List of BitTorrent clients

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
"BitTorrent client" redirects here. For the client created by Bram Cohen, see BitTorrent (software).

A BitTorrent client is a program that manages torrent downloads and uploads using the BitTorrent protocol.

The first client, known as BitTorrent, was created by Bram Cohen, in October 2002.

Many subsequent clients have been at least partially based on it. Not all clients were originally built for BitTorrent, having added support for the protocol later on. There have been attempts to package malware as BitTorrent clients, probably due to the availability of many legitimate clients and users' willingness to try new ones.

The following tables compare general and technical information for a number of applications supporting the BitTorrent protocol.
