BitTorrent Filehippo Client is a desktop application that initiates, truncates and manages the downloading and uploading of data using the BitTorrent file-sharing protocol. The software utility tool protocol designed by programmer Bram Cohen in April 2001 and released the first implementation of the BitTorrent client on 2 July 2001. It supports the operation and execution of the BitTorrent network protocol on a local machine and is supported by most operating systems.
This software Client is primarily designed to enable peer-to-peer communication services through this software protocol for sharing, downloading and seeding data to a group of globally connected peers powered by the same protocol.
This application isn’t just used for downloading files (movies, games, documents, videos, MP3 music and other material), but also for sharing them, letting new torrents be created.

BitTorrent Utility Guidelines
Torrent files are one of the most popular forms of file sharing on the internet, and they can look a little daunting to newcomers. Once you master them, though, you’ll have access to virtually any file you can imagine. Using a torrent client is not illegal, as long as you have the right to download, view and distribute (share) the file. Always ensure that you are legally allowed to use any of the files you download. See Step 1 below to learn how to use the BitTorrent client.
1. Visit the BitTorrent website. You can download the client for free from the BitTorrent website. The link for the download is located in the center of the homepage. If you need an installer for a different operating system, click the “Other Platforms + Betas” link underneath the “Get BitTorrent” button.
2. Download and install the client. You will be asked to choose between the free version or BitTorrent Plus. Most users will not need the plus version, as you can download and open as many torrents as you want with the free version.
- Only download the BitTorrent client from the BitTorrent website. There are other torrent clients available, but the one called BitTorrent should only be downloaded from the developers.
3. Ensure that file associations are correct. If you want Filehippo Bittorrent to be the default program when you open a torrent, ensure that BitTorrent is associated with .torrent (.tor) files as well as Magnet URIs. You can make sure these boxes are checked during the installation process. Failing to set this option will result in the web browser downloading the small torrent file only. If the BitTorrent program is associated with .tor files, it will automatically detect the browser downloading the .tor file. The BitTorrent program will open it, locate the actual file, program, video, etc. that you’re trying to get and download it seamlessly.
- BitTorrent will attempt to give you free music along with some adware during the installation process. Make sure that these are disabled before continuing with the installation (unless you want them).
Minimum Requirements For BitTorrent Filehippo
1) While the player included in the Pro Client natively works for streaming, you are able to swap in another client if you desire. Go to Options -> Preferences -> Playback. Once in this menu, you are able to select from the dropdown list another player you have installed. Common players include VLC and Windows Media Player.
2) You generally need basic high-speed Internet (<1 Mbps likely won’t work well). The higher the available bandwidth, the faster the required pieces of the file can load and begin the streaming.
3) The torrent you download may affect your ability to stream because of its file format or size. The availability of the needed file pieces in the swarm will also effect the files’ ability to be streamed.
Enjoy!
