'''Ktorrent''' is a '''BitTorrent''' client for the '''Trinity Desktop Environment'''. It enables users to download files through the BitTorrent protocol, frequently used by Linux distributions to share ISO images of their install media. '''Ktorrent''' can download many files at once, configure bandwidth utilization limiting the whole client or specific torrents, manage a download queue, block or filter peers and much more. The program is features rich and can be further enhanced installing plug-ins. The release used in this paper is the '''TEDE''' compatible one. '''Ktorrent was successfully ported to KDE release 4''': to use Ktorrent 4 specific features, please refer to the official [http://ktorrent.pwsp.net home page].
