BitTornado BitTorent Client

BitTornado is much like the official BitTorrent client but with more adjustments. Its seems to perform well compared to the other bittorrent clients, but many users complain about the "hard on the eyes" interface that was obviously put on a low priority during the development process. The most noticeable differences from the official BitTorrent Client are the ability to adjust upload rate and the number of maximum uploads. It also includes pre-defined settings for various types of Internet connections. Use this client if you want stability and general modification options but find clients like Azureus a little too much.
