However, it can be a useful tool for sharing content and downloading large files quickly, mainly when you are on the go with your Surface or other Windows tablet.

BitTorrent doesn't exactly have the best reputation in the mainstream due to its widespread usage for pirating software and media. However, it can be a useful tool for sharing content and downloading large files quickly, mainly when you are on the go with your Surface or other Windows tablet.

With Torrex Surface Edition, it doesn't matter if you have a tablet running the full version of Windows 8 or an RT-powered tablet. You can get touch-friendly torrenting anywhere you go. Finebits OU, the developers of Torrex Surface Edition, describe it as a 'full-featured BitTorrent client' for Windows 8. They aren't kidding. Torrex Surface Edition works on x86, x64 and ARM-based devices. It lets you download any torrent or magnet link, either inputting torrent links you already have or by finding them right from Torrex's built-in search feature.

Downloads will continue to run in snap mode or the background. Hands down, the coolest feature of Torrex is the built-in media player, which allows you to watch videos or listen to music from torrents as you download them. Streaming music can also be listened to in the background while Torrex is minimized. As for other features, Torrex Surface Edition gives you control over every aspect of you downloads and uploads. You can choose what folder you want to save files to and whether or not to use background downloading.

You can fine tune your bandwidth settings, encrypt your outgoing traffic, and randomize what ports you use. There are plenty of non-technical options as well. You can select one of the five different search engines to power the built-in in search field. You can also change the theme and background of Torrex, including using Bing's daily background. What's great about Torrex Surface Edition is how touch-friendly it is. Because it is a modern-style app, everything can be without a mouse or keyboard. That makes it convenient to use on any device.

Conclusion and Confusion But as good as an app as it is, I recommend you do not buy it. Instead, take a look at Torrex Pro, also by Finebits OU. It is every bit as good as the Surface Edtion. In fact, the only difference I could find between the two is that each has different themes to choose from. You can also grab the 'Lite' version, which is free and ad-supported. The benefit of getting Torrex Pro is that it is a. If you buy it for Windows 8, you also get it for Windows Phone and vice-versa.

If you buy it from the Windows Phone Store first, you also get it for $3.99, instead of the $7.99 that it costs in the Windows Store. Why wouldn't you just get it for both platforms and save yourself four bucks in the process?

Either way, if you are in search of a modern-style BitTorrent app for your Surface or any other Windows 8 device for that matter, Torrex is the way to go. **Also, all of these apps do work on Windows RT devices like the Surface 2. The Torrex Surace Edition and Torrex Pro both work on such devices with no issues.

• ($7.99) • ($3.99) • (Free, ad-supported) • (7.99, Free trial). But it is used mostly for illegal stuff.

You want to cover the truth, fine. But it doesn't mean it's not true. Yeah you can get many legal stuff through torrents, linux distros, games, patches, I remember last time I played Aion, it used a torrent stuff to download the files. but of course, with all that legal stuff, it doesn't change the fact that Torrents are mostly is used for illegal activities, especially when it comes to tablets and phones, I am sure most people won't download legal games and patches and Aion or a linux distro there.

You are right. But let's be honest: everything can be used in a good or bad way. The fact that torrent and p2p systems are mainly used for piracy, that doesn't means they are 'evil' on their own. Last but not least, piracy is mostly an excuse. I cracked office when I was younger, but that doesn't mean I would have paid for it. If I couldn't crack it, I would have used other programs. Now that I can afford it, I bought it.

Same with movies, I would have never paid for watching some things pretending to be movies. Downloaded does not equal to not sold. I have downloaded the extended lotr trilogy, and after that I liked it and I bought it in br. If you do a quality product, you do not have to worry about piracy. Last example. I have an hp laptop with win 8. The only way to make a clean install is to illegally download an iso of Windows and then activate it with your license.

In this case piracy is the only way to do what you have legally right to do. If you activated windows 8 with your licence then its not illegal. Personally I download movies from it all the time, but there is no chance in hell I would ever have paid for them.

I have the movie channels with Sky, so within a year of release Id probably get them anyway, so if I couldn't get them illegally now, I would just wait. There are some exceptions, Im a fan of films by Xavier Dolan, which don't get released in the UK, so illegal download it has to be. Still waiting for the new one Mommy. You cant even order a dvd from another country, as it wouldn't work in a UK dvd player, unless you get one unlocked for all regions, which I understand has the same implications as downloading a film, due to the taxes etc. Most of the internet providers in the UK blocked torrent sites, which meant it was a little more annoying for a while, having to connect my surface to my phone in order to get the.torrent file, then reconnect through virgin to download the movie. But since I found using opera browser gets around all the blocks its nice and easy again and Im back to it, downloading top gun right now, since ive never seen it. Have no guilt over that either, since its 30 years old and will have been on tv many many times lol.

Depends what you want the app to do - the majority of 'clients' on the store are apps that connect to an actual torrent client running somewhere else (e.g. On a computer at home). The downloading and uploading doesn't happen on your tablet, it's just a front-end. I have Transmission (torrent client) installed on my router (router has a USB port with a HDD connected) and I can use my tablet with one of those types of apps to control the client wherever I am. The advantage of that is you don't burn your Surface's battery and you can use a stable, wired internet connection for your torrenting.

The disadvantages are that you need a torrent client running somewhere and that the files aren't stored locally on your tablet. Torrex and Torrent RT are both actual, fully fledged torrent clients. All other torrent clients on the store are the type I've described above, so if you want a proper torrent client, the choice is between those two.

Torrex is the better of the two as far as I am aware, but both are quite new and sadly often a little unstable. I'm sure they'll be improved over time, though.

If you're interested in the other sort, I'm actually writing an app for remote controlling µTorrent and Transmission as a free app for W8.1 and WP8. There don't seem to be any apps supporting Transmission (there was one but it seems gone now), and frankly every single torrent client on the Windows Store is HIDEOUS, so for my 3rd year uni project I'm writing a torrent client. It'll be out around late January. Ha, that's what I get for not checking the store for a few months. I've been working on and off on mine since September last year but I decided (maybe stupidly) to save it for a uni project. Oh well, let the market decide - if mine's better it'll become popular regardless of competition.

That one looks alright but to me it still has the problem a lot do - they take the basic template you get if you make a certain Visual Studio project and then fill it with text. It's content before chrome which is Metro-y, but it's too much content. Obviously the challenge is finding the balance between too much and too little, and Metro (especially on W8) is still so young that it's hard to follow the patterns. Functionality is of course king though, as the point of these is you don't have to leave them running so you might not see the UI too much. I've written the entire app (UI excluded, of course) as a library so that I can share it between WP8 and W8 which helps - plus I'll (optionally) sync server settings, etc.

Between both, so for those of us with W8 and a WP it'll be great. As for money - I think I'll be putting the app up as an unlimited free trial with a small purchase price as an optional 'donate' button. I've always liked that (ab)use of the buy/try feature. I took ages researching it actually - I wanted a relatively cheap router with support for being a DLNA server and the most recommended router I could see was the. I bought it and was. Very disappointed. The wifi and internet connection kept dropping, I had to restart it all the time.

I thought about returning it but installed custom firmware from and it's made an insane difference. The router is, as said, a DLNA server so I can stream media from it to my Xbox 360, Surface etc., it's a torrent client, ftp server and other nice stuff.

I've not restarted it in god-knows how many months, I never have wifi problems or anything. With the custom firmware it's fantastic, with the stock Asus it's awful.

I'd totally recommend it if you install that firmware.
