    Sadly no uTP, and initially must connect to trackers or configure DHT entry points to know DHT peers. Still good, though

    BiglyBT is a fork of Vuze with the same rich feature set, plugin support (i.e. webtorrent, decentralized chat, and even TOR), and no ad/malware. Being Java based makes it compatible with most platforms, but resource usage is still light, especially with tweaking.

    Laggy, bad programming using operating system windows to search metadata for magnets, will kill your system when pasting too many magnets.
