'''BitTornado''' is a [[BitTorrent client]]. It is developed by John Hoffman, who also created its predecessor, [[Shadow's Experimental Client]].  Based on the original BitTorrent client, the interface is largely the same, with added features such as
*upload/download speed limitation;
*prioritised downloading when downloading batches (several files);
*detailed information about connections to other peers;
*[[Universal Plug and Play|UPnP]] Port Forwarding (Universal Plug and Play);
*[[IPv6]] support (if your OS supports it/has it install[[Operating system|OS]] support required);
*PE/MSE support as of version 0.3.18.
