One feature I really liked in BiglyBT is the ability to download the same file from 2 or more "forked" torrents. For example some pirate groups "pirate" the releases of other pirate groups by just renaming their files, adding some meta info and publishing a new torrent. This causes a split in the seeders and peers as these different torrents form separate torrent swarms, while all are downloading the same file(s). BiglyBT can "merge" these torrent swarms to download the common files from 2 or more torrents.
Wish it wasn't based on Java though - seems so 90's to have to install a framework first (JRE) to run something (and then having to worry about keeping it updated for security).
