Unlike some Windows 8.1, Windows 10 torrent apps, Torrex comes with the ability to work in the background, letting you stream video and audio playback. Just like any other true desktop BitTorrent Client, this one also allows for the download of any torrents and magnet links and immediate viewing of the media content through the built-in media player. From this Windows 8.1, Windows 10 torrent’s app description:

Torrent RT, just like the name suggests, is an application designed for those that especially use Windows RT, but it shouldn’t be neglected by Windows 8, Windows 10 users, neither. This torrent app promises to make the most of your network bandwidth without draining your battery and making your tablet or hybrid device unresponsive. From the app‘s description:

4. uTorrent Client [$1.99]

It needs to be said beforehand that this torrent app for Windows 8.1, Windows 10, albeit pretty useful, at least according to the reviews, isn’t the official app from the BitTorrent company. Like I mentioned at the beginning of this article, this is not a standalone torrent downloader/client app, and it works like a remote app. From the app‘s description:

This app connects to the uTorrent WebUI (and only this) system allowing you to view and add torrents to your uTorrent application – from anywhere in the world with a supported internet connection. (Requires the correct ports to be forwarded on your router when accessing from the internet).
