I hate those "Yet another" names.

Used to be a ABC user, but now converted to uTorrent!

#2.1 Dr.Jones on 04 Oct 2005 - 12:20

As everybody should do (imo)

#2.2 Lovell on 04 Oct 2005 - 12:26

uTorrent is good for seeding due to the fact that it doesn't use any cpu apart from that it's usless

didn't seem useless to me

didn't development of this client stopped a while ago, author said something about not having time and energy for it? Someone else picked up development?

#3.1 Tuffgong4 on 04 Oct 2005 - 12:45

someone else picked up development. I've tried all the torrent programs and I always stick with ABC

At home I started with this client, but after a while I switched to Azureus. Azureus is a bit heavy but as good plugins, like a scheduler a thing that abc lack. Some weeks ago, Azureus started going crazy and then I switch back to ABC. I just hope that they created a sort of scheduler in ABC. That would be a killer featur to this speedy torrent client.

uTorrent user here.

I use ABC for torrents. I don't think anyone cares, but I posted it anyways, because its a good use of a post.

I switched to Azureus because the development of ABC is so slow... It lacks some important features Azureus has.

#6.1 ThunderRiver on 05 Oct 2005 - 05:03

I have the opposite experience.
Azureus is soo bloated and slow in terms of downloading speed.. never got above 8 kb even with port fowarding.. and CPU usage is crazy with the Java runtime..

ABC all the way for me.

I also tried uTorrent, not getting any good speed either.. At least with ABC, I get 80 to 250 Kb on the same torrent file.

Has ABC added the ability to pick and choose which files to DL from a torrent? That was the main thing that turned me off from it.
