TorrentFetcher is a BitTorrent download manager for Windows. It is a very innovative application that allows you to search, browse and download torrents from two of the most popular BitTorrent search engines: btjunkie and isohunt. The application is incredibly simple and it has a lot of promise. However, at the time of this review, it didn't quite work. I think the problem is that the application can't connect to either isohunt or btjunkie or maybe these sites have recently changed their websites and TorrentFetcher is unable to compensate for the change.
I will tell you what I like about the application, though. And I didn't need it to be working to find this. First, it allows you to download torrents in a specific folder. This is great for when you have torrent clients monitoring folders to start a download. Second, I could gather from a screenshot on the developer's website that torrent search results are displayed in a very neatly organized way and you can sort them by name, size, seeds and peers, all without the advertisements of a website.
If the application was working, and you downloaded torrents from the supported websites, I think using this application would be a great way of browsing through search results.
