Halite BitTorrent Client 0.3.0.2 Released
Halite BitTorrent Client is yet another cool Open Source Software BitTorrent Client after Deluge. Halite is named after the mineral (the mineral form of sodium chloride, NaCl, commonly known as rock salt). It is written in C++ using Unicode and can only be run on Windows 2000 or higher and based on the excellent libtorrent library from Rasterbar Software. This software also relies heavily on the Boost libraries.
The current stable version is 0.3.0.2 released on 24 January 2008. The key features are: -
* Multiple downloads.
* Displays more detailed information for the selected torrent.
* Connection limits both global and per-torrent.
* Transfer rate limits again global and per-torrent.
* Trackerless torrents (using the Mainline kademlia DHT protocol).
* IP filtering with eMule ipfilter.dat import.
* Minimize to tray with transfer rate summary.
* Association with “.torrent” files.
* Option to limit the number of instances to one.
* Estimated time remaining indicator.
* Full Unicode support through UTF-8 and native Windows wide-char strings.
* Login support where tracker requires it.
* Ability to edit trackers specified in the torrent.
* Low in resource usage
I am getting good download speed with Halite. I am replacing Deluge 0.5.8.4 with Halite 0.3.0.2 due to frequently crashing issue. How about you?

theMatrix, make sure you have Protocol Encryption enabled and select Both for Encoding Level and also select Enabled for both Incoming and Outgoing Connection Policies. That will helps you.
