Internet - P2P Clients (12)

qBittorrent is a file sharing client modeled as an open alternative to µTorrent. It includes a torrent search engine, support for all extensions (DHT, Peer Exchange, crypto, Magnet/BitComet, etc.), web interface, RSS, scheduler, IP Filtering (eMule and PeerGuardian compatible), IPv6 compliance, and more. Uniquely, it includes a program lock to password-protect the interface.

The program includes torrent creation and even tracker capabilities (for serving content).

qBittorrent Portable is a portable version of the standard client. Alternatively, X-qBittorrent is also available. Clients are also available for other platforms (Mac, Linux, FreeBSD, OS/2) and in ~25 world languages.

TeamTalk is a feature-rich conferencing application aimed at providing everyone a VoIP solution regardless of connection speed. Includes video conferencing, desktop sharing, file sharing, audio streaming, recording, and much more. Audio push-to-talk and audio detection are both available. Features include quality controls, packetloss resistance, de-noising of outgoing audio, 3D positioning of sound, and much more.

Note: The program includes some default connections with available channels and connection tools in an IRC-like interface but does not have topics or areas-of-interest common to IRC networks.

Deluge is a lightweight BitTorrent client designed to be unobtrusive, leaving much of its functionality to available plugins (such as RSS and scheduler). The program includes encryption, DHT, Local Peer Discovery, µTorrent Peer Exchange, UPnP and NAT-PMP, proxy support, web seed, private torrents, speed limits, bandwidth scheduler, and more. The interface can be password-protected.

Cross-platform with clients available for Linux, OS X, and Unix. The program allows multiple user-interfaces including GTK+, Web, and console, with available password protection. Utilizes a libtorrent backend.

Retroshare is a feature-rich communications platform for small groups of users with a focus on privacy. The program includes an exclusive and secure toolset for instant messaging, chat rooms, forums, direct messages (e-mail), file server, VoIP, channels for distributing content, and link exchange. It functions as an open, distributed alternative to many commercial groupware programs.

Additional features include RSS feed reader, status messages (away/busy), different modes for low traffic, transfer and disk space limits, plugins, skins, and much more. Cross-platform (Mac, Linux, BSD).

Great for small businesses, groups, and a safer alternative to most file sharing methods. Networks can be small or large, but communications between users are limited by default to friends and friends-of-friends, with more specific controls available.
