I used utorrent, but after I tried bitcomet, I preffered that

I used to swear by Azureus but I always ended up having a wierd problem with it. After a while it would my computer crash. I could never figure out why. I would end up reinstalling windows which would fix the problem for a few weeks but it would always come back. I tried reinstalling java and everything. I finally said to hell with it and went to uTorrent and never looked back. It has good speeds, doesn't take much memory and has everything I need. We're getting married next month.

:o uTorrent is a Bigamist. :hmmm:

[Driph]

I gotta say ?torrent works really well, the speeds are great.

[Arkaic]

μTorrent! It's great good speeds and plus it doesn't crash my compy. I do not know why but other clients would. :|

[Meraklis56]

BitSpiRit

never crashes,it uses anti adslfreeze and it's amazing :)

[Bhav]

?T for me - quite an amazing little app.

[xpgeek]

?Torrent all the way for me.

[sn00pie]

Just used uTorrent for the first time, and I'll never go back. :D

[a1v1n]

am going to give my vote to BitComet. BitComet has been doing a good job for me since i started using it. wanted to give uTorrent a try after so many people talked about how good and small it is but after trying, uTorrent just doesn't work for me.

[Squall_Leonheart]

Bitcomet here, my first thought was to vote for utorrent but i found problem surfing (sometime) the internet with it running. Too bad, have to stick with bitcomet.

[gdodson]

utorrent. I used BitComet for a while, but the latest releases are extremely slow and totally kill my firefox connection.

I noticed that too, it murders my surfing.

Utorrent, not the BETA! for god sake.. 1.6 kills internet.

utorrent 1.5

Hi,

Im using uTorrent and i did the port forward wizard that starts up on the first time you use the app. The problem i get is that any port i type in is blocked. I was wondering what ports you guys use as the more common ones?

Liked ABC the best till Utorrent came out. Now I only use Utorrent.

[snypa]

uTorrent kills every other torrent client, very fast if configured properly, very light, and doesn't slow internet like the others. Was using BitComet but that was terrible, used Azureus, but hate the Java, was using 200k, and killed my internet.

[riahc3]

I dont know how anyone can say Azureus. Its memory usage sucks.

BitComet no doubt.

[way2quik]

anyone use utorrent and has DHT enabled?

i remember when i had a SMC router and having utorrent enable DHT literally killed my router.

i now have a dlink, do you think it can handle the DHT connections? thanks.

[PiracyX]

I dont know how anyone can say Azureus. Its memory usage sucks.

BitComet no doubt.

I think its sucks aswell!

I used to use the original client then i moved to bitspirit and i really liked it until utorrent got released and that has changed me forever mainly because no other can match its speed and memory usage.

[mortem]

My vote goes for ?torrent. Perfect little app!!

[nvkrishna]

i am using bitcomet since 1 year.it is simply superb client.

[bryceroney]

I have to say ?torrent, what more can you get for <200kb these days!
