- Comparison of BitTorrent clients
-
"BitTorrent client" redirects here. For the client created by Bram Cohen, see BitTorrent (software).
A BitTorrent client is a computer program that manages downloads and uploads using the BitTorrent protocol.
The first client, known as BitTorrent, was created by Bram Cohen, in October 2002.
Many subsequent clients have been at least partially based on it. Not all clients were originally built for BitTorrent, having added support for the protocol later on. There have been attempts to package malware as BitTorrent clients, probably due to the availability of many legitimate clients and users' willingness to try new ones.
The following tables compare general and technical information for a number of applications supporting the BitTorrent protocol. They are neither all-inclusive nor necessarily up to date.

BitTorrent clients are compiled to run on certain operating systems, without emulation. For a given client/OS combination, client support status can be one of six possibilities:
- No means that it does not exist or was never released.
- Partial means that the BitTorrent client works, but lacks important functionality or is very unstable compared to versions for other OSs, that is to say it has roughly alpha or pre-alpha quality, and it is still being developed.
- Beta means that a version of the BitTorrent client is fully functional and has been released, but is still in development, e.g., for stability.
- Yes means that the BitTorrent client has been officially released in a fully functional, stable version.
- Dropped means that the latest stable version of the BitTorrent client does not work on the operating system, although an older version is available that does. The number in parentheses is the last known stable version which was officially released for that OS.
- Included means that the BitTorrent client comes pre-packaged as part of or has been integrated into the operating system.
This list is not exhaustive, but rather reflects the most common OSs today but does not include the growing appliance segment (for example, the Opera web browser has gained a leading role for use in mobile phones, smartphones, the Nintendo DS and Wii, and Personal Digital Assistants, and is also used in Interactive televisions). Both the BitTorrent client and OS means most recent version, example: Windows 7 with µTorrent 3.

- ^ a b c d Automatically configure port forwarding (requires Router with UPnP support)
- ^ a b c d Many clients claim to support this, but just uPnP calls for opening a TCP port is not effective and disabled by factory default in most new hardware. "UDP NAT Traversal" is the proper working solution, supported by just a few.
- ^ a b c d DHT permits use of trackerless torrents (with supporting clients) to resume normal torrents when their tracker is down. However, some trackers that register their users for keeping tabs on fair usage (such as a ratio of bytes downloaded to uploaded) may not reliably measure and update usage for users employing DHT.
- ^ a b c Tracker included with Linux binaries and with source, but not with Windows binary
- ^ a b Exchanging with BT 6 and µTorrent clients (and now MooPolice)
- ^ It's UDP based, an experimental feature and only supported by other Azureus based clients
- ^ a b Has its own DHT, a mainline-DHT compatible implementation is available as plugin
- ^ [1], list of features not yet added.
- ^ Localhost uses a DHT protocol called Kademlia to connect to peers that are running Localhost. Each peer has an index of directories and files that it shares with peers that it is connected to. No one peer is responsible for storing the entire directory structure, it is distributed among everyone. It is collaboratively maintained, edited and built upon by all users in a popularity based system.
