BitSpirit is a BitTorrent client that manages to pack a large number of functions and mask them all under a clean and lightweight interface. There are just a few buttons at the top of the screen and these are used to control individual torrents, although new ones and magnet links can also be quickly added with the aid of certain buttons.

BitSpirit allows users to simultaneously download an unlimited number of torrents. However, as this might not be useful to everyone, users have the possibility to limit this number and allow automatic prioritizing of torrents. This can be combined with download and upload speed limits. All of these restrictions allow for a better resource management when it comes to torrents and users can see torrents downloaded much faster.

BitSpirit features a powerful disk cache mechanism and jobs can be easily resumed, even after the application has been closed. As computer users are not always at the PC, they can also create a timetable for the utility. This way, downloads and uploads can be scheduled at certain times throughout the day. The app can also provide logs of its activity if the user selects this option. All of these functions and many more run with just a small amount of resources.
