BitComet is a manager for web, FTP and BitTorrent downloads supporting simultaneous connections, file queue, selected torrent package contents, fast-resume, chatting, disk cache, speed limits, port mapping, proxy, IP filter etc.
The download includes both 32 and 64-bit versions.
Note: Many years ago, BitComet attracted a lot of critics due to its non-compliance with several standards. While still developed in China, most issues have since been resolved.

@kiwichick888: I changed the website link. Thanks for reporting this
v1.93
The website link is incorrect. It link points to qbittorrent.org
v1.92
Confirmed just now: https://www.bitcomet.com/en/archive/ shows links for both packages but all you get is an error for v1.50. Alternative download locations pointed to by the homepage don't work either.
v1.49
@billon
The download links for BitComet version 1.50 - "404 Not Found" (both for the archive and the installer).
v1.50
I used BitComet as the first torrent client back in the ol days.
Then uTorrent arrived, and I stuck with it for the low resource usage.

v1.38
Carbonize comment above seems to imply that eMule functionality is built-in BitComet, when in fact it resides in a separated plugin... IMHO, BitComet provides for a comprehensive and rather good downloading solution (encompassing regular, media and torrent downloads).
v1.36
Inside the zip:
