bittorrent clients

The Tribler BitTorrent client is no newcomer to the BitTorrent scene. It has been in development for more than 5 years and has delivered many innovative features, which have mostly been ignored by the masses.

Today, however, Tribler is more relevant than ever before.

With all the negative talk about BitTorrent, fueled by the billion dollar entertainment industries, it’s refreshing to see that many of the people who actually create the music are using it to further their careers.

Tens of thousands of musicians, from those just starting out to those already established, use BitTorrent to give away their music for free.

Vuze is one of the most recognized BitTorrent brands.

Their client is used by millions of people each day and has a steadily growing user-base.

With millions of people using BitTorrent every day, the protocol has been the leading P2P technology from more than half a decade.

Up until a few days ago the three 1337x BitTorrent trackers were coordinating downloads of more 40 million peers.

But from one day to another, the trackers simply stopped working.

As it turns out, the operator of 1337x was forced to abandon the popular TCP-based tracker and trade it in for a more efficient one using the UDP protocol instead.

This means that for millions of torrents the main trackers stopped working.

While millions of people still use BitTorrent every day to download videos, increasingly streaming sites have become more dominant for online entertainment.

Nearly every video file available via BitTorrent can also be streamed online somewhere, for a payment or totally free.

While BitTorrent was one of the first technologies to enable the easy downloading of very large video files, it now has some catching up to do.

The masses want their video and music on demand, and if BitTorrent wants to remain the big player it is today it has to deliver just that.

Those who’ve been reading TorrentFreak for long enough may remember how the MPAA and RIAA accused a printer at the University of Washington of copyright infringement a few years ago.

With their research, the researchers pointed out that gathering evidence on BitTorrent downloaders is full of pitfalls.

BitTorrent Inc’s developers have come up with numerous new features for their two BitTorrent clients in the last year.

Both uTorrent and BitTorrent mainline have expanded their functionality, and the latter client also got a complete redesign to set it apart from its big brother uTorrent.

A few days ago a new BitTorrent client surfaced under the promising name BitMate. The client is developed by a group of researchers from several well respected universities who have collaborated to improve the lives of BitTorrent aficionados in developing countries.

With 100 million active users every month, uTorrent and BitTorrent mainline have close to a 50 percent market share of all BitTorrent clients.

Both pieces of software are based on the same code, which is developed by the San Francisco based company BitTorrent Inc.
