Deluge For Mac

Deluge is a free and open-source BitTorrent client for all major platforms (i.e. macOS, Windows, Linux) that uses the libtorrent C++ BitTorrent implementation for its backend.

Moreover, the Deluge app is designed with simplicity and performance in mind, thus enabling you to make the best of your time without having to learn how to use a cumbersome and too complex GUI.

Another worth mentioning Deluge feature is its extensibility via a powerful plug-in system which will allow you to add a large assortment of features to the default Deluge installation, with little to no effort.

The Deluge app also comes with support for web remote administration via its built-in Web UI interface, as well as proxy support for using behind a router and for being able to maintain your privacy while using your Mac as a torrent peer.

As an added advantage, Deluge provides support for disk caching and for high performance torrent seeding, two features designed to increase the disk access speed and avoiding running out of RAM while performing a large number of simultaneous disk reads.

What is more, the Deluge app features full BitTorrent protocol encryption, a feature introduced for greatly improving the torrent client’s user’s privacy by basically making all the packets Deluge sends and receives harder to identify by various third parties.

To make things even better, Deluge also bundles a bandwidth scheduler and inbuilt torrent speed limits, thus making it possible to conserve your Internet bandwidth if you’re using the app on a Mac with a monthly Internet download / upload quota.

Taking everything into consideration, Deluge is a full-featured open source solution that should be one of the best choices for anyone looking for an unobtrusive and lightweight multi-platform torrent client.
