Features
Halite is in an early stage of development supporting basic features:
* Multiple downloads.
* Displays detailed information for the selected torrent.
* Connection limits both global and per-torrent.
* Transfer rate limits again global and per-torrent.
* Trackerless torrents (using the Mainline kademlia DHT protocol).
* IP filtering with eMule ipfilter.dat import.
* Minimize to tray with transfer rate summary.
* Association with “.torrent” files.
* Option to limit the number of instances to one.
* Estimated time remaining indicator.
* Tabbed interface.
* Ability to modify trackers.
* Improved and extended information on the details given for connected peers.
Planned features
* Options to ban peers.
* Translations of the UI into a number of languages through the help of volunteers.
While using Halite, I found that hardly 10MB of RAM was getting used, which is less than half the memory used by uTorrent. If all you want is a no-nonsense BitTorrent client that can grab your downloads with the best of them, Halite may be just what you need. Halite is written using Unicode and can only be run on Windows 2000 or higher.
