Deluge 1.1.6

4.2 out of 5 stars 4.2 (60 votes)

(April 6, 2009)

Windows Vista/XP / Open Source / 2,185 downloads

Deluge uses libtorrent in it's backend and PyGTK for it's user interface.It features a rich plugin collection; in fact, most of Deluge's functionality is available in the form of plugins. It was created with the intention of being lightweight and unobtrusive. It is our belief that downloading shouldn't be the primary task on your computer and therefore shouldn't monopolize system resources. It is not designed for any one desktop environment and will work just fine in GNOME, KDE, XFCE and others.

    uTorrent (when I last used it) forced me to open my ip-blocker to BitTorrent inc in order to access the DHT.
    Given that there's no obvious need for this - and BitTorrent's links with the movie industry - that was good enough reason for me to use a different torrent client

    A complete clunkfest, complete with "GTK+" dependencies. It's slow, it's ugly, and it will remove any preexisting .torrent association you have on your system when it's removed (because, you know, the installer is too stupid to know if it CHANGED it or if it ADDED it).

    I can see no reason whatsoever for a Windows-only user to use this over uTorrent or Vuze. Regarding the DHT paranoia mentioned above: You can unblock JUST router.bittorrent.com, or you can bootstrap DHT from peers you connect with normally. uTorrent does not rely on connections to BitTorrent, Inc. for DHT to work. If you're so paranoid about the MPAA and DHT, you'd better stop using DHT completely, since all they have to do is establish one DHT node, and they have your IP address and the hash of the torrent(s) you have active. It has nothing to do with BitTorrent, Inc's server.

    I'm now running release 1.1.5 and this application has improved massively since my previous post - stable, feature rich and a very clean interface. It's now my default torrent client.

    The info provided says lightweight and 26 KB but the download comes in as a heavyweight at 26 MB. I do not need a supersize program for torrent downloads. Sorry.

    Reviewing 1.0.0.32 (Sep 24, 2008)

    Sadly I have to concur with "been" on this...on the Linux platform this product is excellent and some Windows versions have been good but others have been horribly buggy and recent versions simply don't work at all. It makes no sense at all to release broken product and merely wastes the time of, and annoys, users. As a Linux only product I would give 4 to 5 stars but here the Windows product is under review hence the minimum 1 star rating.
