About Torrent Downloader

Start every torrent with privacy turned on by default. Protocol encryption scrambles your traffic to reduce ISP throttling and deep packet inspection, while SOCKS5 proxy support lets you route your downloads through a VPN or privacy tunnel for an extra layer of anonymity.

Unlike other clients that bundle adware, toolbars, or crypto miners, Torrent Downloader is a clean, lightweight tool. It focuses solely on downloading your files without tracking your activity or injecting unwanted software.

You remain in full control of your upload footprint. Set seeding ratio limits and auto-stop rules to decide how much you contribute, then walk away knowing your privacy and system are protected.

Happy Users

Recent customer feedback

Short, practical feedback from people using Torrent Downloader in real workflows.

Finally a clean torrent client

After years of bloated torrent clients I switched to this and the difference is night and day. No ads, no crypto mining, just fast downloads. The per-torrent speed limits are exactly what I needed.

Trackerless downloads work cleanly

DHT and PEX keep downloads alive even when trackers die. I route everything through a VPN with the built-in SOCKS5 support and speeds stay excellent.

Light, fast, and reliable

Lightweight on resources and the scheduling feature lets me max out bandwidth overnight without slowing down daytime browsing. Piece verification caught a bad chunk once and re-fetched it silently.

Features

Everything it does

Core capabilities included in Torrent Downloader.

Magnet links and .torrent files open instantly, triggering swarm connection and peer discovery.

A live dashboard tracks each torrent's speed, connected peers, piece completion, and remaining time.

Prioritize individual files within a torrent so you only download what you actually want.

Cap download and upload speeds globally or per torrent, with off-peak scheduling built in.

DHT, PEX, and tracker lookups are combined to find peers even when trackers are unreachable.

Encryption is active from the start to shield traffic from throttling and inspection.

A SOCKS5 proxy can be configured to route all torrent data through your preferred tunnel.

Pieces are checked on the fly and any damaged chunks are re-downloaded before the job finishes.

Set a maximum upload ratio and the client will stop seeding once it is reached.

Begin by clicking a magnet link or dropping a .torrent file anywhere in the window.

Tick the files you need and assign high, normal, or low priority before the transfer starts.

Watch real-time metrics like speed, peer count, piece map, and time-to-completion in one view.
