So far it’s arguably the best one out there.

But that situation is about to change with the arrival ofFolx.

you might say that this app is a 2-in-1 suite: internet download manager and torrent client.

We’ve discussed thedownload manager sidea little while back when the app was still in beta.

Now with the official release of v1, Folx adds the torrent downloading capability.

Folx is a good free download manager, but how does it perform as a torrent client?

Let’s find out.

The FolxEasy Torrent Downloader -Just Add A Torrent

What’s the routine of downloading a torrent?

First, you check for the availability of the file that you need in the torrent realm.

After that, you kick off the “.torrent” file using a torrent client.

And download the real file there.

Torrent addicts might have no problem with that, but ordinary people find the whole process confusing.

I’m used to the drill of explaining and re-explaining the process to non-geek citizens around me.

The Folx easy torrent downloader streamlines the multi-step process into one.

Double-choose a tag and browse to the preferred location.

But it’s definitely on the right track.

I’m fond of the idea of remotely triggering (torrent) downloads.

I mean, a tagging system and assigned download folders are great ideas.

They really help inorganizing the files.

If I assign 7 tags to a 1 GB download, my hard disk will be 7 GB smaller.

Several multiple tag downloads later, I’ll have no spare storage room left.
