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!

It's still only 154kb and extremely light on resources... I'd say "micro" still describes it perfectly well.

I think Bitcomet is the best,because it is take lower system resource. :laugh:

[Mr J Harris]

uTorrent.

Because:

1.) Its lightweight only taking up a few KB

2.) Better speeds

[Leoboy]

I use BitTorrent Manager

Alt + 230 also does it, and seems easier.

AltGr + m seems even easier to me.

BitComet

Took me no time at all to learn

[HT2791]

when I was a newb, I used the original Bittorrent client haha.. old memories..

then Azureus, but the java/memory suckage was unbearable...

so.. uTorrent !

I love it. SImple, small, quick.

uTorrent is just the best. Been using for the past year and so far got 20 friends to use it and they never looked back! :D

[Vistas2006]

uTorrent too :D

[Vandalsquad]

?torrent for me, Azureus would never co-operate with my firewall.

[MacOSXMan]

I like Azureus, never had issues with it, and gets the job done.(Y)

[Jimmy0]

I now use ?torrent havning converted from Azureus, and I love ?torrent so much more!

[junkie]

?torrent.

easy, lightweight, nice.:yes::

[ahfunaki]

I've been using BitComet for a while, and I thought it was good until I just downloaded uTorrent, and holy hell...

On the same torrent I was getting MAX 15kB/s with BitComet and now I'm getting an average of 70kB/s with uTorrent, and it keeps going up...

I've been using it 10 minutes and I love it already...

BitComet has been uninstalled...

[BigGiantHead]

Originally used Shareaza, but switched to BitComet when I couldn't preview the files. BitComet didn't work well for me so I switched to uTorrent. It's excellent and light on resources.

[speedemonV12]

wow utorrent is killin everything else, i voted bitcomet, ive always gotten the best speeds with it, and its been great to me, i tried utorrent a while back, but i wasnt able to get very high speeds, but with the superb development, i think ill try it again, since here it is obviously the favorite.

[TheSecretAzNMan]

I got off of Azureus, and made the switch to uTorrent. The performance difference is godly, although I recommend both equally. :D

[THE BAT]

No Way uTorrent

[SMFV1]

Azureus

:whistle:

[OxideNOS]

Utorrent. Before i was all over Azureus but now i don't even think about azureus anymore. its history.. so, Start using Utorrent, u will benefit.

[Crazysah]

uTorrent is killing all. Maybe we should restart this poll?

[Minchino]

Why? It's not like opinion of uTorrent has changed in the past month so drastically that it's no longer going to be winning.

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

I practically never use torrent so I cant tell..

the last one I've used was rufus

[DeadShadow]

Azureus.
