Analog uTorrent: a list of the best torrent clients

UTorrent is a small but very popular application for downloading files from the Internet. It should be noted that not all versions of uTorrent work equally stably. If after the next update the program began to hang, fly out or somehow cause inconvenience, do not despair, because applications with such functionality is pretty much. The best analogs of uTorrent will be described in this article.

Mediaget

The first number in the list of the best programs for working with torrents is Mediaget. In addition to standard features such as downloading and distributing files, the application allows you to search for information without switching to the browser. Of course, this function will not allow you to find rare materials, but for downloading popular content you will have to spend a minimum of effort.

You can install MediaGet on all popular operating systems - Windows 7, 8, 10. The program is fully Russified. During installation, carefully review each page of the installer. If you do not remove some of the checkmarks, several new browsers will appear in the system, and in the old ones the start page will change, and the search engine settings will fail.

BitTorrent

Externally, this analogue of the program uTorrent looks almost identical to the original. Its main difference is the speed of work. Downloading the application and switching modes occur an order of magnitude faster. Also, there is almost no advertising, which is why many users prefer this torrent client.

During installation, as well as in the case of Mediaget, do not just click on the "next" button, but pay attention to the marked options, otherwise after installation, the computer will have to be cleaned of excess garbage. The viruses will not be installed in any case, but they will have to lose time.

Halite

Halite is a torrent client, which is undeservedly rarely mentioned in reviews. The main advantages of the program:

• Minimalism. No unnecessary functions and advertising.
• Speed of work. The program is loaded and runs as fast as possible. Hanging and lag does not happen.
• Compatibility with 99% of torrent trackers.

In addition to the pluses, there is one drawback in the application: sometimes distributions from the list disappear, so the program will be suitable primarily for those who download a lot, but give out a little.

BitSpirit

BitSpirit is an analogue of uTorrent, which can be called one of the best. In contrast to Halite, it presents a lot of functions for the user. The main advantage of the utility can be called the implementation of sorting files: books, music, videos, programs, archives - all this is divided into separate groups, and each torrent can be labeled. Of course, uTorrent also has such functionality, but in BitSpirit it is organized much more conveniently.

If you want to control the speed of upload and download, you can display a small panel that will display this statistics. It will be located in the top corner of the desktop.

The utility supports all modern operating systems and is fully Russified.

QBittorrent

QBittorrent is an analogue of uTorrent, the main advantages of which can be attributed to its integrated search engine. With its help, the user can search for information on the most popular foreign storage sites. You can manage the program not only sitting at the computer, but also remotely, using the user's web interface. The application has in its set more than 40 language packs, including Russian.

Interestingly, the program is distributed under an open source license, which means that anyone can view the source code or contribute to the development of the utility. Also it must be said that the project was fully developed by volunteers who devoted their free time. For their labors, they did not receive a penny. At the same time, the quality of the product does not suffer at all.

Vuse

Vuse is one of those programs that combine many functions at once. In addition to the usual torrent client, this analogue of uTorrent also includes:

• HD-video player with support for video in 1080p.
• RSS aggregator for reading news feed.
• Module search for all major foreign trackers.
• Plugin that allows you to send files to PSP, iTunes, Apple devices. And Vuse will do it by itself.

The paid version costs $ 29.9 per year and includes:

• The function of writing files to DVDs.
• Built-in antivirus.
• The blocker of advertising.

Deluge

Deluge is a simple and intuitive analogue of uTorrent. There is no advertising in it and the minimum of necessary functionality is presented, but with the help of plug-ins the utility can be turned into a media combine, not inferior to the set of Vuse features.

The program supports the encryption of all traffic that it generates. Among the supported operating systems are not only popular versions of Windows, but also Linux, BSD, Mac.

BitComet

BitComet is a powerful analogue of uTorrent for Windows. In addition to working with the standard torrent protocol, it allows you to connect to FTP-servers or to the eDonkey network. The utility has a video player that supports not only popular formats, but also FLV. And this codec is not always built-in even in specialized software players.

The application has a built-in chat, which allows you to communicate with other users of the client. The application is qualitatively Russified, errors and English text can not be found in it unless you specifically switch localization.

There are also disadvantages in the application. Since the utility is free, there is advertising in it. The interface of the program can not be called convenient. An inexperienced user is unlikely to understand all the variety of functions and settings without reference materials.
