    Tixati has a fairly user-friendly interface. There are channels to check for seeders and tell you if any and lists the active and inactive seed sources. It downloads from multiple peers, and you can select how many you will allow. You can check your package rate and calculate how well your download is going,You can even set a cap for incoming and outgoing speed. This is great if you're seeding. (Get a VPN and seed, for cryin' out loud.)
