Tribler is a decentralized, privacy-enhanced BitTorrent client developed by researchers at Delft University of Technology. It introduces built-in anonymity using a Tor-like onion routing network and integrates its own blockchain for economic incentives and trust management.

Torrra is an open-source BitTorrent client and library focused on simplicity, performance, and extensibility for developers and self-hosted enthusiasts.

The core of Torrra is built with modern asynchronous I/O and efficient resource handling, allowing it to manage multiple active torrents, peer connections, and swarm interactions without wasting CPU or memory. Users can add, pause, prioritize, and remove torrents dynamically, while the client intelligently manages piece selection, peer discovery, and bandwidth allocation to optimize download throughput. Torrra also includes hooks for event monitoring and status reporting, enabling third-party tools to visualize torrent progress or integrate with home automation dashboards.
