Bitflu is an open-source, BitTorrent client by Adrian Ulrich. It is available for Unix-like systems and is written in Perl. [2]
Bitflu has received good reviews, both in open-source software sites [3] and blogs, [4] [5] 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. [6] 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".
