What is the best open source example of a lightweight Windows Application?
µTorrent is a small bit-torrent client, a really small one. It doesn't come with an installer, just a exe, you drop in your PATH somewhere. It's super lightweight and yet feature rich. Plus it is the work of one man. It's also closed-source.
Many people have been curious about how it has been written, and there are hints here and there about a custom library etc. But the question is, are there any programs with attributes like µTorrent that are available with source code--attributes like speed, small size, awesomeness.
Possible related question (/questions/9603/what-is-some-great-source-code-to-read), but think smaller than something like the Linux kernel.
Clarification: I don't want examples of bit-torrent source code, but anything which is used by tons of people (validation of awesomeness) and also fast, small and awesome!

uTorrent is a free piece of software that is used to download large files in a file sharing environment. The program was launched in September 2005 and was built by Luvig Strigeus and it is part of BitTorrent's portfolio.
BitTorrent has a download file size of around 3 MB, while uTorrent has a file size of about 1 MB. the BitTorrent Android app is 67 MB (after a fresh install), while uTorrent's app is less than 51 MB.
I think you should take a look at Notepad++ if you want to see a feature-rich low-consumption of power software :)

Netcat It's the program that started all of the curiousity behind networks and how things WORK. Everyone's looked at this source code.
