0 Vomer Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I think uTorret is the best thing nowadays. But if one dosent like no installer programs then BitComet is a good second choice :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Maligogo Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 ?torrent. I love the low memory usage and it pretty much does everything I need it to.:)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 +John. Subscriber¹ Posted April 11, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted April 11, 2006 Ye-up...First one to vote for Azureus. I voted for this, mainly because I've never needed to use anything else. Does exactly what I want, and I'm content with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Boxster17 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I've tried the first four, and of those I pretty much use Azureus the most...never liked uTorrent and don't really understand why so many people like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gertin Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I've tried every client on that list, except for BitSpirit and ?Torrent beats all of them. Period.:)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Corris Veteran Posted April 11, 2006 Veteran Share Posted April 11, 2006 ive tried a few, but uTorrent gave me the best speeds and lower memory usage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BlueFiberOptics Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 uTorrent. Light applications FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 llbbl Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) Azureus is great! The ability to block suspect IP addresses automatically is very very good. Edited April 11, 2006 by llbbl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BrutalFluid Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I would vote with uTorrent cause it's prolly the best. But I use Bitcomet cause I like it more then uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 theyarecomingforyou Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 If utorrent supported more platforms it would be hard to slate it, though I like BitComet for second place. Azureus, whilst well featured, annoyed me too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 poulidis Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I 've used most of them and bitlord is the one that works best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Slimy Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 I 've used most of them and bitlord is the one that works best Bitlord is a rip off bitcomet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MrA Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Azureus, great client. But then again, the only other clients I've used are ABC and the official client. And maybe Opera's built-in client should be added to the list to make the opera people happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 +Majesticmerc MVC Posted April 11, 2006 MVC Share Posted April 11, 2006 *Zips Up Flame Retardant Suit* I'd vote for Shareaza if it was up there. Download Manager, Bittorrent Handler, P2P Program, Media Player all in one. It's not the quickest, but it's not just a Torrent Handler, so I forgive it :). I guess I'll vote for Azureus, as that's the one I use if I only want to download torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 macmax Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 ?torrent was my first torrent client i have ever used. It was easy to use, easy to configure. Its around one and a half month i have been using torrents and ?torrent seems to be perfect to suit my needs. My stats for the proggie 20GB download 17GB upload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Wrezal Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 i think utorrent is the best right now because of how lightwieght it is... I used Bit Tornado and i was a fan in the early days, but now it lacks some of the features other clients have. I used Bitlord and ABC but they both imo suck compared to such a low memory usage program such as utorrent :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 d3nuo Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 i used bitcomet for the longest time, and loved it. i doubted that uTorrent could take bitcomets place so i didnt try it for a few weeks of it's initial release.. well after that period i gave in, and i have never been happier and i've never gone back. i doubt anything could take its place. /me loves uTorrent! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 illicit Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 ?torrent. I love the low memory usage and it pretty much does everything I need it to.:)) I would have to go with ?torrent for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Slipdisc210 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I currently use a bastardized version of Azureus only because my company requires it. I really dig the single exe offered with ?torrent. I prefer it at home or on the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No joke intended still use command line base bittornado. aka shadows experimental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
