Comments and Reviews
Orion is very light weight takes ~50Mb while running, fast and feature rich torrent client i have ever used in my life. I can search, browse latest torrents using the search plugin, browse movies etc. very easily with Orion. Best feature is the ability to stream the media, Orion starts a media webserver which you open in any media player if you wish. there is a YouTube plugin too which let me search whole YouTube, download videos in any format.
It's fast and very lightweight
