BitBuddy

BitBuddy is a torrent client, similar to StrongDC++ or ApexDC++. You can use it to upload and download information from all over the world.

The user interface of the application is familiar. In the task list you can view the state, name, size, download rate, upload rate, estimated remaining time, seeds and peers, as well as distributed copies for each torrent.

You can create a torrent by inputting the source file (single or multiple files), setting the output destination and optionally adding the creator name and a comment.

On the left side of the screen, you can view tasks (leech only, seed only, reseed only, info view, search view), favorites (e.g. torrent sites), torrent searches, as well as peer-to-peer sites.

Right below the task list you can view information on a specific torrent, as well as an RSS reader.

You can check out the download, name, save path, creation date, total size, info hash, number of pieces, piece length, current tracker, total number of seeds and downloads, as well as comment parameters.

But you can also find out additional details (IP, client type, initiation, download and upload speed, total downloads and uploads, flags) and data about pieces (size, blocks in piece, finished blocks), files (file name and size) and logs (log time, severity, message). Also, you can schedule a task.

In the "Preferences" menu, you can configure proxy settings, rate options, folder settings (incoming downloads, torrent metafiles, finished downloads), scheduling options, client spoofing, and more.

The program uses a low amount of system resources and is able to finish a task in a short amount of time without displaying any errors (at least, during our tests). However, there is no help file available. Even so, BitBuddy is a very good torrent client and, even if it doesn't bring something new to the table, we highly recommend it to all users.
