BitTorrent (Deluge)
What is Deluge? BitTorrent is a communications protocol using peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing. It is not anonymous; you should assume that others can see what files you are sharing. There are two BitTorrent web clients available in FreedomBox: Transmission and Deluge. They have similar features, but you may prefer one over the other. Deluge is a lightweight BitTorrent client that is highly configurable. Additional functionality can be added by installing plugins.
