Features

Remembers your torrents, no need to find that torrent link again, and reselect the same download directory to resume downloading or seeding.
Built in tracker scraping with automatic periodical scrapes, keeps you informed about how many seeders and leechers are connected to the tracker.
Piece Files - Remembers the state of each piece in the torrent, this greatly reduces the time taken to resume downloading or seeding as it negates the need to re-hash check every piece in the file.
User Friendly User Interface, all the information you need is available in one window.
Configurable torrent list, show just the information you want to see in the main window.
New Features for version 1.1

Windows XP Style support, and IE style cool-bars makes it soooo much prettier :)
Uses the latest download client by the Shadow (version 5.8.7).
Standard Client included (version 3.3, however this does not support a lot of TorrentStorms features).
Improved reliability on Windows 98 and 2000.
Extra options added for IP address correction and port range setting.
Super-Seeder option added.
Status LEDs added.
Transfer Pausing. Options added to the tray-icon menu for Pause All, Resume All, and Stop All.
More columns available in the main list, including Total Bytes Received, Total Bytes Sent and Total Ratio. Keeps track of how much data has been transferred by the torrent since it was added to TorrentStorm.
PieceMap now shows pieces that are out of place in Yellow.
Help navigation improved.
Automatic Web-Version checking.

Actually this is more like a front-end. It uses Shadow's client as the downloader (you can even select which version).

This simply brings all seperate windows into 1 (plus alot of other features)

Nice one..
I see you can download more than one BT at a time....Obviously this is possible but...does it eat up all bandwidth???

I know this is not in the questions but instead of starting a new thread...

Thanks

Depends on your BW and the BW used per torrent.
Obviously if you don't have much you won't be able to download fast.

Looks like a leech program to me. It says it and your upload and download shows it.

Ehm, all 'downloading' done in BT is called leeching, hence the status of an unfinished dowload is always leech.

The whole point in BT is that you upload as you download. That means the files get out so much faster to all concerned.

Take a look again and see how much he has downloaded of the file, which in this case is an iso of RH. Besides, it all depends on how many Seeds/leechers there are. If you read again, it can use various BT-clients for the actual downloading. It&#39;s just a front-end.

this client is very nice, and danne&#39;s right. actually, the d/l and u/l settings r identical to most clients. leeching is just another name for downloading. very impressed

Torrent Storm doesn&#39;t bog down my system, like the other clients and I think I have tried all the others. I can actual download and seed more than 1 file at a time and load a web page without waiting forever. Sure it is still slower loading web pages while running torrent storm but not as bad as the others. Running 512meg, P4, with router. :P

why dont you stfu u noob

that&#39;s not leeching

if you download u r "leeching"

but if you finished downloading and you are uploading your 100% finished file you are seeding

get the terms right

This is a great program :D

I agree with the resources comment too. Uses very little compared to others I have tried (including some that keep several files in one window).

Leeching, lol
