A free, flexible and fully compliant Bit Torrent client.

Deluge is a fast and lightweight Bit Torrent client which uses considerably less resources than most of the mainstream clients like uTorrent or BitComet.

Inside of the main window of Deluge , you will see a list of files that are currently being downloaded, not unlike most of the popular clients. The main interface can also guide you to more information about peers, file parts and how many people are seeding the torrent you are currently downloading.

In terms of performance, Deluge seems to outperform most of the other torrent clients even when there are a lot of different files being download simultaneously. You may also use some of the free plugins available to tweak functionality.

Deluge also supports private torrents, password protection, the uTorrent peer exchange and the BitTorrent encryption protocol among other things.

In conclusion, Deluge is a fast and stable Bit Torrent client which performs remarkably well even under stressful circumstances.
