Halite

Description

Halite is a free BitTorrent client based on the well-known libtorrent library, the same that powers other popular BitTorrent apps.

Being developed in C++, the program also relies on Boost libraries (famous portable C++ source libraries). It is one of the few BitTorrent clients with a low memory footprint and delivers a clean interface. Some old reviews claim that it doesn't have many advanced options, but we think it comes with all the features you need (see below) from such a program.
