Clients Supporting Peer Exchange
Most BitTorrent clients use PEX to gather peers in addition to trackers and DHT. With the 3.0.5.0 release of Vuze, all major BitTorrent clients now have compatible peer exchange.
Each of these clients implement some version of peer exchange:
- Ares Galaxy
- aria2, µTorrent PEX support
- Vuze, formerly Azureus, and clients based on it (The Vuze PEX is only compatible with the Transmission client. PEX with other clients has been implemented into Vuze and into Azureus from 3.0.4.3 onwards)
- BitComet supports PEX using a proprietary protocol in its older versions. Starting with v.1.19 it also added support for the µTorrent/Mainline implementation of PEX, based on the Extension Protocol.
- Bitflu
- BitTorrent
- KTorrent has implemented full µTorrent PEX support as of 2.1 RC1
- libtorrent and clients based on it (Deluge, qBittorrent, MooPolice) compatible with µTorrent
- Tixati
- µTorrent
- Opera 9.5, µTorrent PEX support
- qBittorrent, µTorrent PEX support
- rTorrent
- Transmission (compatible with both the μTorrent and Vuze implementations)
- XTorrent being based on Transmission source code, equally fully supports the Vuze and µTorrent implementations as of version 1.0 (v40)

Famous quotes containing the words clients, supporting, peer and/or exchange:
“...a lot of my people are models. I like that for them. I admire models, so I think that’s right for my people. ...I love it when I have an important [client]. And the pictures and awards. One of my clients has these television awards—a beautiful statue of a woman. I think it’s an Emmy. People would be lucky to get one. She has two. I think that’s great.”
—Elaine Strong (b. 1934)
“It is handsomer to remain in the establishment better than the establishment, and conduct that in the best manner, than to make a sally against evil by some single improvement, without supporting it by a total regeneration.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
“So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
