Guide to using BitTornado (BitTorrent Client)


This is a guide to using the BitTornado BT client. BitTornado looks a lot like the official BT client by Bram Cohen but has a few extra features that come in useful. It is one of the most used BT clients today and in my experience it's very fast and reliable. In this guide we will cover the basics of BitTorrent, downloading with BitTornado and cover some of the extra features the client offers. For users of the official BT client, this should be a very easy client to learn how to use. To users who are completely new to BitTorrent, this guide will tell you as much as you need to know to start downloading and sharing files immediately.


Requirements


All you need for this guide is to have BitTornado installed.

Download BitTornado from here.
