Rufus - BitTorrent Client

Rufus is a torrent client that you can use to upload and download data from online sources. The user interface of the tool is similar to other similar products so Rufus is easy to use even by novices.

You can add a new torrent from a file or from an URL and you can also create a torrent once you have included files and folders, as well as provided the announce URL, an optional comment and set the piece size.

You can toggle a splitter and tab panel, as well as view various information about each torrent, including size, progress, upload and download ratio, seen copies, average progress, priority and tracker URL.

You can check out information about the status (e.g. peer IP addresses, client type, progress), details on the transfer and peers (e.g. share ratio, listening port, connections, remotely initiated), along with a graph of the progress, friends (e.g. preferred and banned IPs), log file, RSS reader and search engine.

Plus, you can use "Multi-File Torrent Manager" to select the downloading order in case a torrent contains multiple files (the same principle applies to a "Multi-Tracker Manager"), as well as configure rate, completion and connection options for each torrent.

In the "Preferences" menu, you can set up a nickname, the frequency for update scans, associate Rufus with specific torrent files, hide country flags, disable to move torrents on "Resume" or "Pause", configure error and color options, set up a tray icon password, and more.

Rufus seems to use fewer system resources than other torrent clients, but it doesn't contain a help file. It manages to quickly connect to peers once you have added a new torrent to the task and can reach an impressive downloading speed.

We haven't come across any problems during our tests. Rufus provides a simple and efficient solution when it comes to downloading data via torrents, therefore we recommend it to all users.
