BitTorrent Web

BitTorrent Web is the web-based counterpart of the BitTorrent software, providing a reliable torrent client that runs in your default browser. Unlike the desktop edition, the Web edition makes it easy not just to search and download torrents, but also to stream torrent files via the built-in web player, even if the download is not completed.

Once installed on your computer, BitTorrent Web can be accessed via the default web browser. To test its functionality, you are prompted to start downloading the tutorial video, which is a torrent file. Watching this video should be enough to get you acquainted with the application, although the web-based interface is pretty straightforward.

BitTorrent Web supports drag and drop, so to add a new torrent file to the queue, all you have to do is drop it on top of the main GUI. Alternatively, the application enables you to enter a magnet or a torrent link yourself.

Thanks to the integrated search box, you can look for files on the web. As a side note, BitTorrent Web offers you to install the safe torrent scanner, which automatically avoids sites with potentially dangerous content and helps you make sure the torrents you see in the search results are safe.

The download queue is displayed within the main dashboard, where you can monitor the download progress, the download and the upload speed, number of peers and the estimated elapsed time. Any task can be paused if needed or removed from the list with a click.

BitTorrent Web is not just a torrent downloader, as it can also be used for creating torrent files and sharing them with others. Almost any file can be included in a torrent and the seeding can start as soon as the file is created.

The built-in media player in BitTorrent Web can start streaming video and audio files within the browser window, no third-party applications required. Best of all, there is no need to wait for the download to finish in order to enjoy video playback. You can start watching a video almost as soon as the download starts.

BitTorrent Web is a browser-based torrent downloader and creator that offers an elegant interface and a pleasant-looking working environment. While some might prefer using the desktop client, the matter of fact is that the web client is much comfortable to work with and is definitely worth a try.
