Torrentus: Free Open-Source BitTorrent Client for Windows

Lightweight and easy-to-use torrent client with magnet links, RSS feeds, search, bandwidth limiting, encryption, and port forwarding support.

What is Torrentus?

Torrentus is a popular open-source BitTorrent client for Windows. Originally based on the older client Torrent Search, Torrentus has since been rewritten from scratch and includes many modern features.

As a lightweight client, Torrentus focuses on providing a simple, no-frills interface for torrent downloading. It supports all major BitTorrent features including magnet links, RSS feed subscription, peer exchange, encryption, and bandwidth limiting. An integrated search makes finding new torrents easy without visiting external websites.

Despite the basic interface, Torrentus still provides options power users expect like priority settings, queue management, and advanced connection limits. Port forwarding and proxy settings help optimize speeds and bypass ISP blocks. The client also includes the ability to automatically load torrent files or magnet links from the Windows clipboard.

As an open-source project under the GNU GPLv3 license, Torrentus can be freely used and modified. Development is done by a small team who frequently update with bug fixes and improvements. It's an ideal option for those seeking an easy-to-use open-source torrent client for Windows.
