Peer Exchange - Clients Supporting Peer Exchange

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)

    “There would be no supporting life were we to feel quite as poignantly for others as we do for ourselves.”
    —Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    “The Peer now spreads the glitt’ring Forfex wide,
    T’inclose the Lock; now joins it, to divide.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “We never exchange more than three words with a Friend in our lives on that level to which our thoughts and feelings almost habitually rise.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
