Torrent RT lets you download torrent files from Windows 8 Metro

While uTorrent and other large companies are still working on Windows 8 ports of their apps, a third-party developer has created what seems to be the first torrent client for the Metro UI.

Simply called Torrent RT, the app allows you to open torrent files and download content without leaving the Modern environment, while also providing options to open magnet links directly from the browser.

In addition, it packs settings to limit upload and download speed, download files directly to SD card or USB drive and run the app in Snap View mode, side by side with other programs.

While the design of the app doesn’t seem to be quite appealing, it gets the job done without too much effort, so users who can’t live without download files through BitTorrent should really give this one a try.
