Deluge

Deluge

Deluge is a BitTorrent client for Linux and other Unix-Like operating systems. It was created because of the lack of a good, native, GTK based torrent solution for Linux.

Deluge is intended to be lightweight and unobtrusive. It allows multiple downloads in a single window, hiding the window to the system tray, and several more features are currently being developed.

It supports the following network features: Mainline DHT, FAST protocol extension, uTorrent Peer Exchange, BitTorrent Protocol Encryption, UPnP and NAT-PMP, proxy support for Peers, Tracker, DHT and Web-Seed, and private torrents.

Check out KTorrent for an alternative to Deluge. KTorrent is designed for the K Desktop Environment (KDE).
