I think uTorret is the best thing nowadays. But if one dosent like no installer programs then BitComet is a good second choice :)

?torrent. I love the low memory usage and it pretty much does everything I need it to.:))

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.

[Boxster17]

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.

[gertin]

I've tried every client on that list, except for BitSpirit and ?Torrent beats all of them. Period.:))

[Corris Veteran]

ive tried a few, but uTorrent gave me the best speeds and lower memory usage

[BlueFiberOptics]

uTorrent. Light applications FTW

Azureus is great! The ability to block suspect IP addresses automatically is very very good.

I would vote with uTorrent cause it's prolly the best. But I use Bitcomet cause I like it more then uTorrent.

[Rudnartim]

I use Arctic as its 64 bit

[theyarecomingforyou]

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.

I 've used most of them and bitlord is the one that works best

Bitlord is a rip off bitcomet.

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.

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.

?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

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 :)

[d3nuo]

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! :)

I would have to go with ?torrent for me as well.

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

[sn00pie]

BitSpirit :D

Care to elaborate on these features. No joke intended still use command line base bittornado. aka shadows experimental.

BitComet
