BitTorrent peer to peer file sharing is still going strong after all these years. This is even after attempts by several countries to ban tracker sites like The Pirate Bay and others at the ISP level. Even though torrents are mostly associated with downloading pirated and copyright infringing files, there are still many legitimate uses that rely on the same peer to peer (P2P) distribution method.
Lots of free software is offered for download over torrent P2P, such as Linux ISOs. In the past game developers have also used it to distribute game patches and updates. You can even download drivers for utilities like Snappy Driver Installer using P2P. Sadly a number of organizations can block the use of torrent software as it is a huge drain on the network because it connects to many other computers at the same time.
Even your ISP could throttle torrents and slow them to a crawl of only a few KB/s for the same reason. To get around the restriction on using dedicated torrent clients or ISP imposed speed throttling, there are a few things you can try to still be able to use torrents. Here we have 5 methods for you to look at.
1. Download Torrents With a Torrent Client Browser ExtensionOne of the most popular ways to download torrents through your browser used to be the Java based Bitlet tool. Sadly it’s no longer available. An alternative is using a browser extension available for either Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. Although there are not that many torrent client extensions around, there is at least one for Firefox and two for Chrome that should do the job.
Torrent Tornado for Firefox
Torrent Tornado is a very competent extension that has enough functions for most average users. For getting the torrent into the browser Torrent Tornado accepts .torrent files, magnet links, HTTP URLs, FTP URLs or torrent hashes. Just press the Add new torrent button to start the process.
After adding the source for the torrent, it will show the details for the download and then offer the choice of which files to download from within the torrent. The small Settings button at the top left controls options such as save folder, file associations, memory cache, maximum peers and download speeds.
Download Torrent Tornado For Firefox
JSTorrent Lite For Chrome
The Lite version of this app extension is a cut down version of the paid app so it’s more feature limited than it would otherwise be. The biggest restriction is you are limited to 20 downloads before the app stops you downloading. An easy way around this is simply uninstalling and reinstalling the extension to get yourself another 20.
JSTorrent Lite accepts both magnet links and local/remote .torrent files. There’s also the option to stream video files while downloading. Select the video file, click the Files tab and press Stream to open the player window. Adjusting the number of peers or active torrents can be controlled via the Settings window but setting speed limits is not available in this free version.
Download JSTorrent Lite For Chrome
Bitford For Chrome
If your torrenting needs are quite basic but you want speed controls which JS Torrent Lite doesn’t offer, Bitford is worth a try.
It doesn’t accept magnet links only local .torrent files, so it’s more tricky after visiting sites like The Pirate Bay. Control the upload and download speed via the two boxes at the bottom. Press the Save button to save individual files to your drive or Remove to cancel the download.
Download Bitford for Chrome
2. Download Torrents With an Online Torrent Client
This method has a few advantages. It bypasses P2P traffic shaping from an ISP because the torrent files are downloaded in the browser just like any other file. It also keeps you safe from anti-P2P organizations monitoring copyright infringing torrents. The drawback is most of the available free services are quite limited unless you pay for a subscription.
We are looking at Seedr because it’s one of the more generous free services. Currently, Seedr doesn’t restrict the speed at which you can download the completed files from their servers. The default limit is 2GB which is both the overall storage limit and the maximum size of the torrent file you can download. This can be increased to over 6GB by accomplishing tasks such as inviting friends, posting a review or pinning a Seedr image on your Pinterest.
Seedr accepts local torrent files, magnet links or a URL of a remote torrent file. You can only transfer one torrent at a time to the Seedr servers but can download multiple completed torrents from Seedr. We found the download speed very good and all our files downloaded at the maximum speed. There’s also a Seedr Chrome extension for directly adding links.
If you find the limit at Seedr is not quite enough, there are other services like Torrent Safe or Direct Torrents that offer a 10GB file limit for free. They restrict you to only 3 downloads per month so are for occasional use only (changing your IP address might get you another 3). Other popular names like Filestream, Bitport and especially ZBigZ are too restrictive to be of any great use in our view.

3. Use a Browser With Built in Torrent Client
Over the years we’ve seen a few web browsers incorporate a torrent client into the browser itself. The most notable being Opera although it removed this ability when switching to the Chromium browsing engine in 2012. You can still download Opera 12.18 and use the torrent client, but it’s better to use a more up to date solution.
A more up to date browser that includes a built in torrent client is Torch Browser. There is another called Citrio but it appears to be based on an outdated version of Chromium. In addition to the integrated torrent client, Torch also includes a download accelerator, social sharing button, games portal, music portal, media player, and a media grabber that downloads on page audio and video.
After install simply press the slider then the green button in the Torch toolbar to turn on torrenting and open the torrent client window. It’s possible to just drop a torrent file onto the window or you can open the Add Torrent dialog to search for a file or paste a magnet link into the box. Choose the save to location and which files inside the torrent to download, then press OK to start the download.
The torrent Settings window allows for adjustment of a number of options commonly found in torrent clients. These include randomize or change the listening port, use DHT/PEX/LPD, adjust the number of connections and active torrents, speed limits, seeding limits and video streaming playback options. You’ll want to right click and remove the Torch Offers extension as it’s simply advertising.
Download Torch Browser
4. Using a File Download Manager
While you might not be able to install or run a dedicated torrent client, it may be possible to run a standard file download manager. There are many around that handle normal file downloads but a few free managers are also able to download torrents. Flashget and Free Download manager are two that can handle torrents. We’ll look at Free Download Manager (FDM) as it’s actively supported and kept more up to date.
During install, FDM will offer to associate itself with .torrent files and magnet links. It’s best to leave the setting as is to make things easier. When the program launches you can simply drop a .torrent file onto the window to start a download. Alternatively, press the menu button top right to manually search for a torrent file or press the add button to paste in a remote torrent or magnet URL.
To control speeds, Free Download Manager has Low, Medium or High speed limit modes and a Snail Mode which will concede bandwidth to other traffic. Traffic limit speeds, connections and a few torrent specific options like DHT, used ports and port forwarding can be controlled via the Settings window. Right click on the torrent download to set its own priority, whether to seed, setup scheduling and to force a recheck/reannounce.
Download Free Download Manager
5. Multi Host Torrent Converter
It’s worth noting first that a multi host file download service is not free and costs from around €4 Euros for a month depending who you go with. A multi host download service is mainly for heavy downloaders using cyberlocker sites like Rapidgator or Uploaded etc. Some also include other download services like Usenet or BitTorrrent. If you want to get large torrents that free services like Seedr can’t handle, this may be your cheapest paid option.
The one we use is AllDebrid although there are other debrid services like RealDebrid that can handle torrents. Alternatively, you can go for a bandwidth based service such as Premium.to. AllDebrid works similar to the free online clients but instead of downloading the finished files from their servers, the files are uploaded to another cyberlocker site. In this case, UptoBox.com. Then you paste the UptoBox links into the AllDebrid downloader to download like any other files.
Visit the Torrent Converter page and either paste a Magnet link or click the “Torrent File” box to upload a .torrent from your computer. Then click the convert button and do something else while waiting for it to finish. When the process is complete, click on Display Links and then the pointing arrow to send the links directly to the Downloader box. The limits are a generous 250GB torrent size. 30 simultaneous downloads and a 72 hour time limit for the torrent to finish. Large torrents can be split into 1GB chunks for easier management.

ReplyHi Admin Sir, Thanks for another wonderful article. ( Seedr is best! )
Replyone of these ways actually worked for me, even in a blocked network, thank you!
ReplyThis fbtube.biz trick shows you how to convert an MP4 and MP3 file of your video from Facebook and Youtube. No any software required! fbtube is probably the easiest way to download and convert any YouTube or any other videos. Here’s how it works: you’ll need the URL of the Facebook or Youtube video you want to download. Place the URL into our Fbtube converter website and it’ll download.
This is very easy. This is what you gotta do:
Step 1: Open the YouTube website.
Step 2: Open the video that you want to download.
Step 3: Let it play, be it for 1 second.
Step 4: Go to the URL of the video in the top of the browser and copy that URL.
Step 5: Now, Open the Fbtube website.
Step 6: And last Paste that Url here in given Box of converter.
That’s it.
ReplyWithout Installation , mean No Installation.
How should we download a file without install.
No matter installing torrent app or plugin or anything else.
Without installing anything.
How..?
This is the bloody main question.
You go to library and you need a file to download with torrent, but we all know nobody can install any app on the library’s computer.
Now tell me how..?!
cloudbox247.com offers free with unlimited bandwidth
ReplyThanks! You can also use torrentleecher.ga to stream movies or download larger files.
Once you start the torrent, it will continue downloading online even if your computer is off – so you can come back at download it all.
ReplyI don’t agree with the author’s opinion on other popular names… zbigz may be worse regarding user-friendliness but together with bitport are both great for use and to me not restrictive in any way.
ReplyDownload Torrent Via Magnet Link For Pc
Then your requirements are far lower than most other torrent users. ZBigZ has a 1GB limit and a max download speed of 150KB/s, Bitport has 1GB and a limit of 1 torrent per day. For any self-respecting torrenter, those limits are far too small to be of any real use. How do you call those limits “not restrictive in any way”???
ReplyFor me foxleech.com is the best and cheapest

ReplyStay away from Torch if you pirate. It should might as well be a honey pot.

ReplyWarning about Bitlet: While it may be true that “you don’t need to download or install any BitTorrent client” you DO have to download and install what appears to be Bitlet’s “parent” or owner, i.e., GitHub. I don’t like finding out AFTER I get to a site to download something I’ve just been told about on another site and finding out I HAVE to download another app to get the one I came for. But because the article above made Bitlet sound so enticing I went ahead. Could not go through with it though as my gut kept telling me “no.” So as soon as I had GitHub installed I pulled up my Iobit Uninstaller to remove it. IU uses the app’s own uninstaller first, then runs a scan for any leftover files. GitHub had 6179 leftover files that took 12 minutes to delete.
I would love to try Bitlet, but not at the cost of inviting what appears to be another Google-sized intruder into my computer. Just FYI.
ReplyThe Bitlet project is pretty much dead and the website to download torrents has gone, now it redirects to the source code for the library at Github.
Github is a repository for open source projects and is not the owner of Bitlet so you didn’t have to download and install any extra software from there, it only hosts the source code which can be downloaded as a Zip file if anyone wanted to look at it.
ReplyGitHub is a completely legitimate application and is linked to software development and maybe millions of people use it, including myself. I don’t understand why BitLet makes you use it, but GitHub is completely safe.
ReplyHas anyone tried torrentsafe.com?
ReplySeems like a great site, but it will screw you if you add a torrent that it cannot download (low seeders for example). Every torrent you add, even if you remove it because it isn’t going anywhere, or you find another source or torrent you like better will add to your 4 torrent a month limit (and I kind of feel like this is an intentional hook as long as the site has been up to try to force you into the desperate move of paying). If Im going to pay anyone, it would be seedr because at least if you stay within the 2.5 gig limit (you can easily increase it to for free), you get unlimited torrents from it, and I believe in rewarding more honorable policies.
ReplyI’d like to recommend Offcloud.com also
ReplyOffcloud will be useless for most people because unless you pay, the free account only allows 3 downloads per month. The only reason it might come in useful is it has a 10GB storage limit so can get bigger torrent files. A useful complement to other services but definitely not a first choice.
ReplyOffcloud is the only thing on this website that actually worked for me
ReplyZBIGZ offers only 1 GB space [the file size > 1 GB] in the free account.
ReplyNow Download Torrent at Superfast Speed without any seeder and leechers limitation at FREE of cost with GetMyTorrent.

A great alternative would be Bitport.io

I only had the patience to try the first three from the article above. Even with confirming my email address, Bitport.io was easier and faster than all of them. Hey moderators, this one should top your list! Thank you so much, Adam!!!
ReplyWe’ve talked about Bitport in another article:
https://www.raymond.cc/blog/bitlet-bypasses-streamyx-torrent-throttle-allowing-full-download-speed/
Compared to similar services like FileStream and Seedr, Bitport is far too restricted to be of much use to many people.
Hi Raymond,
Always GREAT! Thanks!
I was getting myself setup to download torrents without using a client by using BitLet. When I went back to get my Mass Storage Drivers Pack’s torrent link, my click was intercepted by my “Free Download Manager”, and I was very surprised to be reminded that this program also handles torrents. So where I expected to download only the torrent link, FDM automatically downloaded the actual driverpacks! FDM is true to its name,, it is FREE, and they also have a portable version too.

ReplyHello, the same thing but more practical and ergonomic

1) Download ZAP Torrents Plugin. Available for Firefox and Chrome. No Ads, no Spyware and it won´t modify your default browser.
Download Mozilla Firefox Plugin
This is the ZapTorrents’ plugin for Mozilla FireFox.

Download Google Chrome Plugin
This is the ZapTorrents’ plugin for Google Chrome.
Download
2) Log in
3) Search for Torrent files or Magnet Links. For this, we recommend you thepiratebay.se. It is the website with the larger data base for torrents, but if for some reason you couldn´t find it there, you may check the following sites: ExtraTorrent, FlixFlux, IsoHunt, Torrent Reactor, KickAssTorrents, Monova, Torrentz, TorrentZap, SeedPeer, ShareReactor, Vertor, YourBittorrent, YouTorrent.
4) Once you have done the research, click on the “SE” button, this will arrange it all by Seeders. The one with more seeds will mean higher download speed
5) Get into the Torrent to check its info. There are two download options: Magnet Links and Torrent Files. Note: We strongly recommend download through Magnet Links
6) Click on the Magnet Links icon
7) It will be automatically loaded in the “My Files” section, of ZAP Torrents.
(a) You will have to wait a few minutes till it´s done getting info.
(b) Then the download to our servers will begin.
(c) Once it´s completed, the file has to be compressed
From the moment a file finishes downloading and compressing to our servers, you have 7 days to complete the download to your PC. Then after that time, the file will be deleted.
8) The last step; choose how you wish to download it to your PC: Web Browser or Download Manager

Thanks for posting this. All the torrent clients I used like uTorrent has slow download speed. Now I’m using Torrent2exe. It works great and the download speed is fast. You can disable it from starting up by using Task Manager on Windows 8 or msconfig on Windows 7.
ReplyThanks for the super useful article!
I would also like to suggest a different tool that downloads torrents- it’s called Torch browser. That’s how I downloaded my torrents in the past few monthes and it’s awesome! You should check it out.
Bitlet isn’t a bad program, but I had a lot of trouble finding torrents meta file, instead just download the torrent to your computer, then choose the “select local .torrent” option, right next to “download torrent.” Then all you have to do is choose the torrent you saved to your computer. Easy
ReplyBiltLet is great if you don’t have any connection issue with your firewall, connection speed and router.

You'll need a free torrent client if you want to download files over the BitTorrent network. Once you've located a torrent file from a torrent website, you'll need some way to download it — and that's where a torrent client becomes necessary.
There are several different kinds of free torrent clients. Some torrent clients have more features than others and some even run from a website, meaning you don't need to install any software at all.
Below is an updated list of the best free torrent programs and web services available online. Use any of these clients with your torrent files to download content over the BitTorrent network.
While these programs are free and legal to use, it doesn't mean the actual content you're downloading via the torrent is legally available in this way. You should be familiar with the copyright laws in your country before using a torrent client to download movies, music, software programs, etc.
If you're not sure about the legality of downloading movies or music via torrents, please know that there are plenty of places where you can download movies for free, legally. There are also legal methods to getting free music, like with free music streaming services, free online radio stations, and websites that offer free music downloads.
uTorrent
What We Like
Uses very little in the way of system resources.
Most commonly used client.
Simple interface.
What We Don't Like
Ad-supported.
Comes with bundled software.
Lacks search function.
uTorrent is one of the more popular free torrent clients. The installer size is tiny and only a fraction of system resources are used when the program is running.
You can subscribe to RSS feeds in uTorrent to automatically download new torrent items that are pushed through the feed.
uTorrent Remote is a feature that comes built-in that allows remote monitoring and administration of your uTorrent client. You can add, pause, and delete torrents from any browser or Android device.
This free torrent client can be installed on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems, as well as Android devices.
FileStream.me
What We Like
Keeps IP addresses private.
Mobile versions available.
Secure file transfer.
Queued downloads.
What We Don't Like
No protection against viruses.
Access to features such as dedicated servers, speed boosts, and more requires premium membership.
FileStream.me is another online torrent client that works by entering torrent links or uploading torrent files into your account and then having FileStream.me upload the files for you so you can then download them through your browser.
The free version of FileStream.me is ad supported, limits torrents to 200 MB for each file, gives you three days to download your torrents, can hold up to 200 GB of data, can fetch two torrents at once, and might restrain your download speed if you're downloading lots of files.
However, it does hide your IP address, let you resume downloads, allows streaming video and audio files, offers an Android client, and doesn't limit your monthly access.
Since FileStream.me runs from a browser, you can use it to download torrents on any OS that supports a modern web browser.
ZBIGZ
What We Like
No software required.
Easy signup, with no personal details collected.
End-to-end encryption for premium accounts.
Available in mobile version.
What We Don't Like
Size and speed limits, even for premium accounts.
HTTPS support requires premium membership.
Premium memberships available for days to months.
Not ideal for private torrents.
ZBIGZ is similar to Filestream in that it downloads and seeds torrents for you and then lets you download the files as regular HTTP data. Because it works this way, it may be preferred if your ISP is restricting your access to torrent downloads.
Among other limitations, ZBIGZ allows your torrents to be no larger than 1 GB. Plus, your download speeds are topped off at a mere 150 KB/s.
The ZBIGZ online torrent client works for any operating system that can load the web page, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
BitLord
What We Like
Easy-to-use search function.
Can play downloads on Chromecast before download completes.
Helpful download organization features.
Channel subscriptions.
What We Don't Like

You can password protect the BitLord program, stream video/audio before the download is complete, and search for torrents inside the program without leaving the client.
You can also add RSS feeds to BitLord to help keep track of new torrent releases.
BitLord is a free torrent downloader for Windows and macOS.
Vuze
What We Like
Simple, easy-to-use interface.
Premium version offers virus protection and preview capability.
Can extend functions through plugins.
Pause function with automatic resumption after specified time.
What We Don't Like
Ad-supported.
Installer adds browser toolbar unless you opt out.
Another free torrent program is Vuze (formerly Azureus). There are tons of awesome features in this program, such as media playback support and a built-in browser for searching for torrents.
Vuze lets you control its functions from a browser or desktop client.
A folder that connects directly to iTunes is included in Vuze so that you can drag downloaded media into it to include them in your iTunes library.
Vuze can automatically hibernate your PC, shut it down, or run a program when downloading or seeding is finished.
For more features, you can get Vuze Plus. It comes with DVD burning capabilities, a built-in antivirus tool, and removes ads.
The Vuze torrent client can be installed for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
FrostWire
What We Like
Lightweight.
No ads.
Works on a broad variety of platforms.
Easy file sharing.
What We Don't Like
Unnecessary programs bundled in installation file.
FrostWire can search for torrent files on several websites at once, with available filters to narrow down results by file size and seed count.
There are also tons of Internet radio stations included with FrostWire with the ability to add custom streams.
In addition to using it on Windows, macOS, or Ubuntu OS, a FrostWire app is available for other devices, too, like Android. If on the web, you can chat with other FrostWire users through their community chat room.
Deluge
What We Like
Compatible with variety of platforms.
Easy to use.
Highly customizable and expandable.
Optional encryption.
What We Don't Like
Sparse interface.
No in-app search function.
Deluge is a pretty simple, free torrent client. You can adjust the max upload slots and speeds, as well as download speeds and encryption.
There are plenty of plugins you can grab for expanding Deluge's settings. There are plugins for an email notifier, scheduler, web interface, stats, auto RSS downloader, and many others.
Deluge is available for many Linux distributions along with macOS and Windows.
BitComet
What We Like
Highly configurable.
Familiar-looking, easy-to-use interface.
Chat function.
BitComet is a free torrent program with remote access and virus scanning.
There are advanced options like scheduled bandwidth limits, long-term seeding, and CometID VIP Acceleration.
BitComet can be configured to auto shut down, reboot, hibernate, or sleep when all downloads are complete, which is a useful function.
You can install BitComet on Windows computers only.
qBittorrent
What We Like
Broad compatibility.
User-friendly.
No ads.
Encryption option.
What We Don't Like
Not as extendable as some other programs.
qBittorent has a clean interface with a password protection option, built-in RSS reader and web browser, web interface for remote control, and many detailed advanced options like anonymous mode and defining a particular network interface for transmissions.
Even with the advanced features, qBittorrent is easy to use and isn't confusing in the slightest.
