Looking for a new Bittorrent Client


Question

Greetings,

I am a new user so bare with me on the Etiquette here. We use Vuze at work to transfer huge schematics and data files but are looking for a new client now. I was looking at Bitcomet because we have 64 bit Windows 7 on all our machines and they have a 64 bit client.

Whe liked Vuse untill we realized it has a HUGE footprint takes up a lot of resources and does not play nice with many programs.

We are looking to size down I guess. We need a small fast client that will not bog down our systems. Any ideas?

Thanks,

LS

I'm just curious: how the hell does anyone end up with Vuze or Bitcomet?

At work we used Transmission on a single box that we accessed through its web interface (since the regular Transmission interface sucks on Windows) on other computers.

I use Vuze because the only feature I like is that it has better IpFilter Loading. I.e It gives me the Text name in the file that has been blocked rather than the IP address like uTorrent and also it converts videos for my phone or other device. But I did use uTorrent for YEARS and it was good! Thats what its aim is to be lightweight.

uTorrent is indeed the way to go.

There is no *real* advantage to running native 64-bit torrent clients. You'll get bigger disk cache (and that's pretty much it), but unless you are downloading or uploading at gigabit speeds, this shouldn't be an issue :)

+1 for uTorrent

Small, Simple, Does what it says on the tin.

not so much for uTorrent 3. It's going the wrong way, same way as the others did. Filled with un-needed crap.

Although I do admit the streaming feature could be handy. But yes, for PC, choose uTorrent.

rTorrent ftw :)

Built up quite a following when it was Azureus, but when they went more commercial (aka Vuze) it turned people off.

You can still revert Vuze back to the old Azureus interface, and not be shown the Vuze junk, but you have to dig around the settings to change it.

It also takes some flack since it's based on Java and uses more resources then other BT clients.

I prefer it over utorrent for the advanced features, but have nothing against uTorrent either.

It's also open source.

"Ubuntu = Transmission"

Also runs fine on windows, I have been playing with this vs utorrent last few weeks. So far works just fine.

Do you have a link to the Windows version ? Their site does not mention Windows
