I've used BitComet, I've used uTorrent... I always go back to Azureus.

[CeL_dAmAgE]

Hell, ?Torrent serves me very, very well. Very low memory usage, very nice download speeds, and a nice overall interface. I used to use Azureus and the original torrent app, BitTorrent, but I always head back to ?Torrent, and for a damn good reaso;);) .

[Kaidiir]

I personally use BitComet and it does everything I need it to. :)

[Dark Reaper]

?Torrent hands down.

I used to use Azureus for many years but it was bloated as hell and is sluggish.

When ?Torrent came along, I was tempted to switch but 100 KB, why not? Never looked back now.:D:D

[xpgeek]

Absolutely ?torrent.

Is the url list in the original post being updated to match the order of the votes, or is the original poster psychic? :rofl:

[Mystical112]

it matches the order... ur looking too much into it...:rolleyes::

[mundox]

I say:

1. utorrent

2. bitcomet

azureus never worked for me..

[Badtz-Maru]

the word bitcomet seems to make me think of slow things.

first azureus, but later i switched to ?torrent. I never turned back.

[crackhbob]

After the original and shadow's, I switched to Azureus... Used it for a long time as I couldn't get any other client to compete with it's speed, and dealt with the extreme memory usage (60-70mb)

Switched to uTorrent a couple months ago, and haven't seen any reason to go back! :laugh:

Actually I just added the links in the order of the poll choices, not the order of which client is winning in the poll. I'll add the ones mentioned for other in a while.

Bitlord is a rip off bitcomet.

yeah, but I've used both, and I liked bitlord better..

Well, I've tried the original, bittornado, bitcomet, bitlord, azureus, and another linux one I forgot the name of.. but none of them can compare to ?Torrent. ?Torrent has offered me the perfect balance between resource usage/speed/features.

[Spyker]

?torrent for me. It hardly needs any recources and updates itself, its all u need.

[Laughing Man]

utorrent for the exact same reason. And encryption too!

[RedX]

Yeah, utorrent is the best, no contest in that arena.

[HoochieMamma]

?Torrent fo sho ma nizzle!

[AJerman]

?Torrent please and thank you.

What exactly did you like about it more? Either way, ?Torrent is the clear winn:) :)

utorrent

[SnowRanger13]

utorrent. On my Mac I use Azureus and it preforms a lot better on my mac then it ever did on my PC. I think both are pretty good.

[way2quik]

this poll only relates to neowin users opinions.

and of course ppl will say utorrent..

so it can't really be labelled as the best, but definitely a good one for all users to use.

[r3volution]

UTORRENT ROCKS

[Lexcyn]

utorrent doesn't run well for me at all. (N) I use Azureus and it works perfectly fine.

[Premgenius]

uTorrent

[PT 13]

Azureus
