uTorrent works great for me. Small on resources so I can play games while downloading. In addition, it has peer encyption, and DHT. Also I like the statistics.

edit: DHT doesn't kill my router. I have port-forwarding setup, that might help. (forward ports, 6881-6889, plus what ever custom port you using in uTorrent)

?torrent for sure:))

[DotChris]

?torrent FTW. been using it since it came out.

[Bobster]

?torrent. I used to use BitComet but then changed to ?torrent and absolutey love it.

[yanowhiz]

You can't beat uTorrent. It's low memory usage. Hell I've played Quake 4 and still was able to finishing downloading my torrent.

[etempest]

Shouldn't the "Official" BT client be listed in the poll?

That being said I love Azureus and the plugin features / flexability it gives me.

With 1gb of ram I don't see any of the memory issues.

[Andreas.]

I have tried all of the clients on the list, and I prefer BitComet.

?torrent ! ! ! :cool::

BitTornado . . . definitely the fastest . . not the best of mem or cpu usage . . and boring interface and few features, but I perfer speed over all that. . so Bittornado it is. An on my dedicated downloading server, running 20+ bittornado instances at once may take a few more resources, but its worth it.

utorrent is a nice program, but it still doesn't reach quite the speeds bittornado does. . however I do use it on my laptops and recommend utorrent to my friends. If you perfer a nice wellrounded client . . go for utorrent, but for the absolute maximum speed . . BitTornado works best for that.

And the winner is... ?Torrent of course. Very small, easy to use and stand-alone executable. A must have.

[Koolslacker]

?torrent

[virgo89]

?torrent or BitComet(Y))

[CrisCr0ss]

?torrent hands down

[+vlsi0n Subscriber¹]

uTorrent, followed by ABC and Azureus.

[xpgeek]

Still utorrent all the way.

[Agnes Leroy]

I am using ?torrent now.

Before that I have used bittornado but ?torrent is always better than that because of efficient memmory usage and speed.Some times I use shareza also.

[speedemonV12]

utorrent is amazing. Great program, not very big, low memory uses, and the speeds are great!

[chika]

i've been using BitComet for quite a while, but now i change to μTorrent, and i say, μTorrent rocks!

[Aero Ultimate]

Defintely ?torrent!:woot::

[seethru]

Torrent Flux here...but it requires you to run a web server, php, and mysql.

[PaulCabby]

My vote goes to Utorrent.

For some reason it's the only torrent program that will actually download for me!

[Kraftman]

Resources aren't at all a problem for me, but I still use uTorrent because I honestly believe it is the absolute best torrent client. The smallness is just a +1.

If anyone can find a torrent client better than uTorrent, let me know.

[busyanuj]

I've been using BitComet for a long time and I've gotten used to it. Plus, I haven't had any problems.

So, I go with BitComet.

Yet another vote for ?torrent:))
