I would advise prospective purchasers of this software to ignore the obviously fake positive reviews on this site and others and consider these facts:

1. This software is little more than a wrapper for the totally free open source bittorrent software, Transmission, available at http://www.transmissionbt.com/. While the developer is able to use this open source software under its permissive MIT license, he never credits them for doing most of the work for him, and certainly does not pass any portion of sales profits to them. Highly unethical.

2. Transmission is superior in almost every way, and due to the fact that xtorrent is nothing but a rip-off of it, will always be ahead of xtorrent in features and performance. Needless to say, Transmission is in very common use, is stable and secure, has no spyware or any other questionable functions (xtorrent is closed source and sends regular updates to the developer's servers, of unknown content), has free automatic updates, and is compatible with all other BT clients.

3. This software's sole feature beyond Transmission is a built-in search function. This does nothing you can't do yourself at Mininova or similar. This function is also prone to breakage and blocking by the site owners, who do not appreciate the developer's misuse of their services. Which leads to:

4. Because of the unethical practises of the developer, many other clients will block you if you use this product, myself included. Users of xtorrent will see lower speeds and possible tracker bans. Technically competent users such as myself, who block xtorrent, also tend to have the highest upload speeds and seed to keep the community alive - a community the developer of this software has abused time and time again.

Please think about all of this before rewarding this unethical developer with your money - money which, rest assured, will never go to the real developers at Transmission. If you simply must pay for a bittorrent program, consider donating to the Transmission project and helping the community as a whole, not an unethical developer who does nothing but take.
