Electorrent is not a torrent engine of its own. It is a neat desktop remote control for the torrent client you already run somewhere else, perhaps on a NAS, a small home server, a seedbox or even this same Mac. From one window you can watch progress, add new tasks and pause or remove old ones without opening a browser tab.
