Have you ever went on a PC and wanted to download a torrent, but don’t have any software to download them with? Well this problem is solved!

bitlet BitLet lets you download torrents using a web based application. This website is currently in beta so you could expect a few problems every now and then.

A great benefit for some, is that if you like your anonymity, this web application will still work with proxys and the popular tor. This means that you can download your favourite new movies podcast without leaking your IP to certain authorities.

Here’s the feature list we’ve been able to gather:

  • Resume downloads
  • View upload/download statistics
  • Upload and seed torrents
  • Generate BitLet links from any torrent file

Now that you’ve read about it, I’m sure you’re just dying to try it. Visit BitLet.org.
