BiglyBT

Overview of BiglyBT (A free bittorrent client)

BiglyBT is a fast, cross-platform torrent client based on the Vuze - Azureus project. BiglyBT includes an integrated Java Runtime Environment eliminating the need to install it to use this torrent client. You also have numerous options for settings along with remote control via Android apps (any app that supports the Transmission RPC). There are also many other organizational options like tags and categories which will permit you to set share ratios, file locations, speed limits, etc., for a group of torrents. You can also quickly perform meta-searches, with add/create custom site template capabilities.

There is also Swarm Discoveries for listing torrents that you and other people have downloaded. For the security-minded, they have you covered with I2P support (using I2P DHT) for anonymous downloading, VPN detection, and the ability to proxy search subscriptions, results, and internal browser connections through Tor in the event the site cannot be accessed.
