BitTorrent works like any other desktop torrent client.
The desktop app that works on Windows is BitTorrent Classic.
It comes in four versions: Pro + VPN, Pro, Ad-Free, and Basic.
Anyone looking for a free torrent client should download the Basic one.
After BitTorrent is installed, it installs an extension in Google Chrome without asking permission.
The extension is called Safe Torrent Scanner.
This experience alone is enough to make many users feel extremely annoyed and uninstall the client immediately.
It doesnt matter how much the developer tries to convince you that the extension is useful.
Windows Defender is good enough, but you might get Kaspersky or BitDefender if you need extra protection features.
The annoyance doesnt stop with ads and extension.
Consequently, unless users visit the Preferences window, they wont know that such data collection exist.
Aside from all the drawbacks, BitTorrent can handle torrents well.
There are still other free torrent clients for Windows that are much better than BitTorrent.
