uTorrent used to be really efficient, small memory-footprint, full featured bittorrent-client. One of the best software I've ever used to download... perfectly legal content [1] from the internets.

Now it's full of ads and performs poorly.

[1] Like all the different Linux distro install images over and over again.




Take a look at rtorrent: https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent

It fits the efficient, small memory-footprint and no ads requirements. "Full Featured" is subjective as it depends upon what you consider "Full Featured".


Full featured means that it efficiently implements all the bells and whistles of the most recent bittorrent protocol. And only that, nothing extra.
