Torrent Swapper is an open source BitTorrent client for Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, and Unix/BSD.
Their SourceForge home page describes the program thusly:
"Lightweight python based 4th. generation bittorrent client with social networking, recommendation, tag-based navigation, moderation, and real-time streaming based on the Tribler BitTorrent client (www.tribler.org)."
The program is used to download files using Peer-To-Peer technology, in this case using the BitTorrent protocol. Torrent Swapper is comparable to Azureus, which is Java-based but boasts some unique features such as Amazon-like recommendations to get interesting files, doubling the download speed by using the upload capacity of friends, real-time P2P file sharing with P2P video streaming, and showing the locations of seeders/leechers of the same content with city-level accuracy on a world map.
Not tested or rated by Computer Buzz at this time.
