[lexor]

uTorrent, has all the features I need, maxes out my download bandwidth, efficient and simple, what more can I wish for?

I use the original Bittorrent client. I've used others like the G3 torrent, Azureus, BitSprite, BitComet, utorrent, ABC torrent, Even Opera's Bittorrent client. But I find that they all are way too feature packed and don't really got a nice interface that's pure plain and simple witch is what the original Bittorrent client has. Witch I must seem like a dinousaur for using it but it's what I like and I plan to keep on using it. :)

[Julius Caro]

I've only used Azureus and uTorrent. I like 'em both, but as I get the same speeds, and both have the features I use, I say utorrent, because it's a light app.

[Quillz]

I like Azureus.

[blush]

I use and love BitComet. :)

[Jojo81]

I like Bitcomet because it's not so feeble as uTorrent but still uses very few resources unlike Az.

ive been using bitlord as i tried the original bittorrent client and hated it and then tried azureus and didnt like it much better than the first and then i tried bittornado which was awful and i found bitlord worked so i stopped there, but with all the love utorrent is getting in this thread, i might have to try it :cool:

[Nylonee]

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.

Because it's simple and doesn't take up too much space. Azuerus is for if you are a heavy bittorrenter... I have none of these but i know my friend uses bittorrents

[b0m8er]

Azureus is the best for me.

[Ran Sagy]

Voted for uTorrent. I'm a bit bribed, i suppose, i was around uT's development since the first released version. I definitly like how it came out eventually, It has everything 99% of the users needs and works like a charm. For the other 1% that needs extremely advanced features, i suppose Azureus is the answer.

I dont think BitComet even deserves an entry though. It needs to actually implement the BitTorrent protocol correctly before i can call it a BT client.

uTorrent because it does what it says on the tin.

It's small, fast, easy to configure, and looks sweet.

[Kreuger]

I used to like G3 Torrent, then started using Azureus when I moved to Linux. Now Im sick of it cause its so damn slow so I use KTorrent

[linsook]

uTorrent

:yes:

One of the bests free apps out there.

[Digitalx]

utorrent easy simple to configure etc and im getting lightening speeds from it

[fluorescent]

?torrent <3

[Ferrera]

Currently, ?torrent is the better! :DD

[ozgeek]

Been using ?Torrent here because of it light on resourses and the fact that I can carry it around on my USB drive.

Tip to get ?, hold ALT and type 0181 while still holding ALT. After you press the last 1, let go of ALT and it will put in ?

[The Champ]

uTorrent for me.

[ambiance]

I started with bittorrent, switched to azureus for quite a long while and now I am stuck with utorrent. I like it the most for it's easy setup, useful options, interface and encryption.

[priestz]

i think bitcomet is cool

Alt + 230 also does it, and seems easier.

uTorrent definaely. Takes no time to install... Uses very little disk space and very low memory usage and it has the fastest speeds (well for me atleast). So uTorrent all the way!

[Coolme]

uTorrent is great, but it seems like they have been going against what made them so attrative in the first place (minimal torrent client). Every version they release gets bigger and bigger and although it hasn't become a problem yet, I'd be nice if they just branched off a 'minimal' version with all the big fixes when the program does get bigger and use more resources. But so far it's great!
