X-Halite

X-Halite is a C++BitTorrent client that makes use of the libtorrent and Boost libraries for helping you download and create torrents.

Since this is the portable version of the program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to manage torrent files on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

You are welcomed by a well-organized set of functions but there’s no support for a help manual and tooltips that could help you get extra information about each dedicated parameter, so experimenting with the built-in features represents the only solution to find out more about them.

X-Halite gives you the possibility to generate a new torrent by providing details about the creator, inserting a custom comment, specifying the size, choosing the saving directory and filename, and making it private. You can select the files and folders that build up the torrent and add new trackers and peers.

You can open a new torrent for downloading it using the built-in browse button or drag-and-drop support, play or pause the downloading process, as well as schedule various actions (exit the program, log off or shut down the computer, pause all torrents, or take no action) at a custom time and date.

The tool offers extra information about each torrent file, such as name, status, progress, downloading and uploading speed, peers, seeds, ETA, ratio, hash, and others. It also lets you check out the remaining time, enter the torrent transfer rates (KB/s) and connection limits, view a list with trackers and set login authentication parameters, as well as consult the Logging panel for additional data about all triggered actions.

X-Halite offers support for several tweaking parameters that help you resolve IPs for countries, set up port options (e.g. limit the number of half-opened connections, enable DHT), limit the number of total connections, upload slots, download and upload rate, active downloads and seeds, and seeding limits to a user-defined value, enable the protocol encryption, and specify the default saving directory.

X-Halite proves to a reliable application that comes bundled with a rich suite of configuration settings for helping you manage your torrent files.
