If you need to choose a BitTorrent client for Windows which won’t eat too much memory or occupy lot of space in your PC, you may try µTorrent as it’s known as sporting a very small footprint.
It’s an advanced feature rich client, supports 49 languages, and has a very friendly interface which can be understood easily by beginners.
As its main features I am enumerating multiple simultaneous downloads, smart bandwidth usage, file level priorities, configurable bandwidth scheduling, global and per-torrent speed limiting, resuming interrupted

transfers, UPnP support (for Windows XP only), popular protocol extensions support and less than 4MB memory usage.
As you can see, it has the most common and base features of a Torrent client.
Version 1.7.4 was just released with a crash bug fixed in Mainline DHT compatibility.

The early 1990s had seen a photo editing software scene dominated by Adobe’s Photoshop and Corel’s Photopaint, but all that started to change when shareware programs emerged to the delight of users who couldn’t afford to pay much for decent quality tools. One of the first shareware photo editing programs, Paint Shop Pro, was developed by Jasc, a small company which aimed at transforming traditional image editing features into much more affordable and user friendly ones. A few years ago, Corel, set on an acquiring mission, realized that Jasc’s program has great potential and bought it in order to fine tune the photo editor to their standards. Adobe immediately understood this strategy and began to offer simplified versions of its well-known Photoshop.
In the latest version of Paint Shop Pro we find the Express Lab, a batch processing tool that can apply certain tasks across multiple images, including cropping, rotating and color adjustments. In addition, Corel thought it would be a good idea to implement some advanced features that professionals find very useful in Photoshop: layer styles, an auto-preserve feature for originals and HDR photo merge. This last feature combines multiple images with different exposures into one image and it is currently considered to be one of the most significant trends in digital photography. As related to the HDR effects, Corel mentions that the X2 version has a "Clarify" feature to automatically “dodge and burn,” bringing out the contrast in HDR images.
Interesting enough, Corel also included some exotic functions such as the "thinify" tool that can make people in pictures look thinner than they really are. Features like this are actually part of a range of "makeover" tools, which also includes a new "Eye Drop" tool for eliminating the red out of bloodshot eyes, as well as an enhanced "Suntan brush" and a "Blemish Fixer”.
The new X2 version of Paint Shop Pro is the third one under the Corel brand. The Canadians have decided once again to keep the $100 price, adding a series of features that will most likely be appealing to casual photographers.

On Tuesday, Corel announced the creation of a new module for WordPerfect Lightning that allows importing the information collected into Microsoft Office.

Navigator, Viewer and Lightning Notes are the modules which come with Lightning.
Navigator is used for assembling and organizing content, Viewer opens documents in Word, WordPerfect and PDF, while Lightning Notes is a word processing and note-taking utility.
Lightning is an expensive alternative to Word but in Corel graphics and productivity head Nick Davies’s opinion, "Adapting WordPerfect Lightning to work with Microsoft Office is an important development for Corel and for the millions of Microsoft Office users worldwide who can now benefit from WordPerfect Lightning within their existing workflows".
The beta version of the WordPerfect Lightning is available
here and includes the Notes tool, Viewer, Navigator and a free online account with 200MB storage.
