Deluge is a bittorrent client for Linux and other Unix-Like operating systems. Deluge was created because of the lack of a good, native, GTK based torrent solution for Linux. When Deluge was first released in September 2006, it was very limited and lacking in features, but over the last year, Deluge has been one of, if not the most rapidly developed bittorrent client on the web. Now, Deluge is among the most feature-rich clients in development (second only to Azureus, but without the bloat, and ahead of µTorrent according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_client) , and it does this without the need of tools such as Java or Wine. Deluge was created with the intention of being lightweight and unobtrusive. It is our belief that downloading shouldn’t be the primary task on your computer, and therefore shouldn’t monopolize system resources. Another great benefit that Deluge offers to the world is that it’s open source. Our code is 100% open to the public, so you know that we’re doing absolutely no sort of monitoring or anything else that might be considered unethical. We are committed to freedom and to providing our users with the privacy and respect that they deserve.
