He had already talked about the best torrent sites in a dedicated article updated every month with all the news. However, we also wondered what the best programs to download torrents for free without running into paid clients or having to spend money on various subscriptions, examining what you can do with free accounts. Without wasting any more time, let’s see which are the best programs to download torrents for free!
The following are programs and sites that we have personally tested to verify its correct functioning. Every month we will go to carry out a check by removing those no longer working and inserting any new programs if we find something of interest. You will find all the changes we will make below, in the notes to the best programs to download torrents for free.
µTorrent, along with qBittorrent, is one of the most popular free torrent clients! The size of the µTorrent installer is minimal and only a fraction of the system resources are used when the program is running, in fact this µTorrent is very light and efficient even on not very performing machines. A big advantage that this program (client) offers is the ability to subscribe to uTorrent’s RSS feeds to automatically download new torrent items that are inserted into the feed. Among the many features integrated in µTorrent we point out uTorrent Remote: an integrated feature that allows remote monitoring and administration of your uTorrent client. You can add, pause and delete torrents from any browser or Android device even without being physically in front of your PC. This free torrent client can be installed on Windows, Mac and Linux systems, as well as Android devices.
qBittorent has a clean interface with a password protection option, Other key features of qBittorrent are the built-in RSS reader and web browser, web interface for remote control, and many advanced detailed options such as anonymous mode and defining a particular network interface for transmissions. However, all these features do not result in a complex program and difficult to use, in fact qBittorrent is easy to use and does not confuse even inexperienced users. qBittorrent is a complete solution and is in fact one of the most used programs. The free qBittorrent torrent client can be installed on Windows, Linux and macOS systems. qBittorrent does not offer a dedicated app for Android.
At first glance BitTorrent appears as a sort of µTorrent clone. However, while the two torrent programs are functionally identical, there are a few key differences: BitTorrent offers web seeding, comments and reviews. Furthermore the BitTorrent client is also welcomed by a number of private trackers who don’t like uTorrent. BitTorrent is presented as an alternative when it is not possible to download certain files on µTorrent. Among other things, BitTorrent is very light, uses few resources and takes up little space on the disk. The free BitTorrent torrent client can be installed on Windows, Linux and macOS systems.
Deluge is a very simple and free torrent program. On Deluge you can set the maximum number of simultaneous downloads, the maximum download speed and maximum upoloads for each of them and access different encryption options. There are many plugins that can be installed to expand the possibilities offered by Deluge. There are plugins written for Deluge that allow, for example in an email notifier, scheduler management, web interfaces, statistics, automatic download of RSS feeds and many others: truly a world in which to find the one that best suits our needs. The extension that we recommend you to install on Deluge is “Copy Completed” which moves torrents after downloading. The free Deluge torrent client can be installed on Windows, Linux and macOS systems.
Another free torrent program is Vuze (formerly known as Azureus). There are tons of features in Vuze, such as support for media playback and a built-in browser for searching for torrents. Vuze allows you to control its functions from a browser or desktop client. A folder that links directly to iTunes is included in Vuze, so you can drag and drop downloaded media onto it to include them in your iTunes library. Vuze can automatically hibernate your PC, shut it down or run a program after the download or seeding is complete. The free Vuze torrent client can be installed on Windows, Linux and macOS systems.
One of the most interesting features of the BitLord program is the ability to protect access to it with a password for maximum confidentiality. In addition to this BitLord, allows you to play video and audio on Chromecast before the download is complete. In addition, BitLord allows you to search for torrents within the program without leaving the client. You can also add RSS feeds to BitLord to keep track of new torrent releases. The free BitLord torrent client can be installed on Windows and macOS systems.
FrostWire can search for torrent files on several websites at the same time, with filters available to narrow the results based on file size and number of seeds. There are also tons of internet radio stations included in FrostWire with the ability to add custom streams. In addition to this FrostWire includes a chat with other FrostWire users via the community chat room. FrostWire is the spiritual heir of LimeWire. The FrostWire free torrent client can be installed on Windows, Linux, macOS and Android systems.
BitComet is a free torrent program with remote access and virus scanning. On BitComet there are advanced options such as the ability to set bandwidth limits, schedule long-term seeding and the useful CometID VIP Acceleration feature. BitComet can be configured for automatic shutdown, restart, hibernation or suspend after all downloads, and includes a BitComet community chat. We report the presence of several ADS on BitComet: we did not like this. BitComet free torrent client can be installed on Windows systems.
FileStream.me is an online torrent client, like ZBIGZ, and it works by placing torrent links or uploading torrent files to an account leaving the FileStream.me service to download the files from the torrent in your place for you so you can then download them via the browser once the downloads have finished. Lhowever, the free version of FileStream.me is full of ADS, limits torrents to 200MB per file, gives three days to download torrents, can hold up to 200GB of data. FileStream.me can download up to two torrents at once and can limit the download speed if you are downloading a lot of files. However FileStream.me hides your IP address without the need for a VPN, allows you to resume downloads, and allows streaming of video and audio files, also offers an Android client and does not limit the monthly access. Since FileStream.me runs from a browser, you can use it to download torrents on any operating system that supports a web browser.
ZBIGZ is similar to Filestream in that it downloads and seeds torrents for you and allows you to download files as normal HTTP data. Since it works this way, it could be preferred if your ISP is restricting access to torrent downloads. Among other limitations, present in the free version, ZBIGZ allows your torrents not to exceed 1 GB. Also, the download speeds on ZBIGZ are limited to just 150KB / s. The ZBIGZ online torrent client works for any operating system that can load the web page, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
