Halite is a open-source BitTorrent client and is based on the excellent libtorrent library from Rasterbar Software. What makes Halite stand out is its remote control interface allowing you to monitor and control the program from a mobile phone. Hailte is written in unicode so it will only run on Win2k or higher.

Features:

* Multiple downloads.
* Displays more detailed information for the selected torrent.
* Connection limits both global and per-torrent.
* Transfer rate limits again global and per-torrent.
* Trackerless torrents (using the Mainline kademlia DHT protocol).
* IP filtering with eMule ipfilter.dat import.
* Minimize to tray with transfer rate summary.
* Association with ".torrent" files.

* Option to limit the number of instances to one.
* Estimated time remaining indicator.
* Full Unicode support through UTF-8 and native Windows wide-char strings.
* Login support where tracker requires it.
* Ability to edit trackers specified in the torrent.

* Low in resource usage

This looks promising, I hope this takes off in a massive way. We really really really need an open-source BitTorrent client that can replace uTorrent as the client of choice.

Azureus is still the king in features. uTorrent is still amazing however it's now owned by an evil corporation.

Let's wait for a port of qBittorrent for Windows.

Peerkoel is also working on porting qBittorrent to Windows and we are hoping that v0.9.0 will be available on Linux / MacOS X / Windows systems.

I'd like to see the feature of randomizing ports at each run.

wouldn't that cause a problem with your router or firewall?

Not with uPnP

This version finally brought single file selection in batch torrents. This client is looking good so far, but don't expect much. It will take some time till it's fully ready (version 1.0 I'd assume).

It looks good and light. It will be interesting to see how this does compared to utorrent.
