Halite is yet another open-source BitTorrent client and is based on the excellent libtorrent library from Rasterbar Software. What makes Halite stand out is its remote control interface allowing you to monitor and control the program from a mobile phone.

still missing the choice to select what files to dld when u open the torrent file... and the tray icon doesn't work like it should... screws up my tray icons all the time! can't make it my main torrent software yet... sticking with the uTorrent 1.8 beta for now.

it is ready. And for the question of features: this is version 0.xxx µTorrent already many more than one programmer and on top it is not(!) open-source and there is no x64 version(and that one is especially really fast).

This is a nice little program, I used to use uTorrent but I couldn't surf the internet or barely do anything, it slowed down my computer. I used this and got better speeds plus it didn't slow my computer at all. I was actually able to peak out at one point at 1mB/s!!!

Can it create torrents now? Edit : YES!FINALLY! Does it stays stable on the torrents after you shut down the pc and start up again startup Halite? A major problem in the early beginning and that is why I still did switch over.And...in uTorrent you can see by the red colour that there is no connection to the tracker and that is a must have for my since i'm into private trackers and ratio is everything! I stay looking to this prog cause it is having potential but who can give an anwser to me?

It is fast and quite stable. It uses less RAM than uTorrent. I find it really good.

"It uses less RAM than uTorrent." How much RAM do you have when this matters? 16MB?

the x86-x64 versions run faster & stable ram usage has been optimized :D run well on windows 7 -64 & 32

Downloaded and installed this piece of software. The first time I ran it I successfully got a win32:Delf-MZG and a win32:ZBOT-MKK Virus on my system. Took two hours to clean out the system and re- download and install 27 programs. Not much to say for this piece of software.

One of the only 64bit torrent clients, and a good one at that. We need more 64bit software.

@Dana1 : virus are not build in this app. It was your torrent that was not clean then..! Halite is hardly ever manged as blocked or recommended bittorrentclient and thats makes me wonder where it stands this days. Used it some time and for then it was allright.

Overall it's a decent product, but it did stop responding for a short time when I was adding a torrent. The interface is very basic and could use a lot of work. I noticed when you hover over the icons there are no labels what they are. Considering that it's not a numbered release 1.x, it's very good. I hope to see more of it in the future.
