Pros

  • BitSpirit does a great job at only utilizing a minimal amount of system resources.
  • There are many ways in which users can select source locations and destinations for their files.

Cons

  • The menu system can be hard to interpret at times due to poor translation.
  • There is no way to easily track active downloads or access the data of a torrent from the program.

File sharing was once a niche dominated by P2P networking clients such as Napster and Kazaa, but the more recent means of obtaining files over the Internet has been "torrenting," or using a more state-of-the-art peer networking system to share data. Ask anyone what his or her favorite program is to download .torrent files and he or she will likely give answers like BitTorrent or BitComet. However, BitSpirit is quickly becoming one of the more well-known applications for downloading torrents as well. BitSpirit allows users to download torrent files without any of the hassle or fuss that is common in other competitor titles.

BitSpirit provides an easy-to-use solution for users who want to download torrents but don't want to spend loads of time learning new software or finding out how to navigate it. BitSpirit is rather weak when it comes to managing and tracking current downloads, and doing so often comes down to actually having to navigate to the torrent file to check on its status rather than having the information readily available within the software.

Even with that sort of downfall, BitSpirit is still quite competent in the torrenting market. Many of its advantages on other titles in the torrenting scene are its light use on system resources, easy-to-use interface and more. After downloading and installing BitSpirit, you'll quickly find that it runs rather invisibly in the background. This leaves you more resources to perform other PC tasks while torrents download on the back burner.

BitSpirit was originally a program written in Chinese, so it will be quite obvious that the menu translations will be difficult to interpret. This could present a problem when trying to navigate the program and complete tasks. However, making changes to the software and configuring how it works is rather simple nonetheless.

Above all, BitSpirit is the ultimate solution for torrenting; it provides users a simple-to-use means for downloading torrents quickly and without hogging all of their systems' resources. For those with low-scale torrenting habits, BitSpirit is the perfect choice. However, those who tend to torrent on a regular basis might find that programs like BitTorrent and BitComet are more featured and equipped to handle large-scale downloading and organizing.
