Features

As listed on the Bitflu official website:

Reception

Bitflu has received good reviews, both in open-source software sites [2] and blogs,[3][4] praising it for being lightweight and feature-complete.

Even so, Bitflu seems to be largely unknown, reportedly commanding only 0.000025% of the total BitTorrent traffic.[5] According to one reviewer, this could be due to its non-automated, relatively elaborated install procedure, which could be putting off a "majority of users who can't do anything more complicated than a click-next-until-finish install".[6]
