What's your favorite BitTorrent Client?

[DaddyCee]

Micro Torrent for me as well uTorrent (in other words).

[Lerxst]

Used to use uTorrent, recently built a linux box with rTorrent + wTorrent GUI. Works well once you get over the *nix issues.

utorrent is what I use...

utorrent's my first torrent client. Tried vuze briefly before switching back to utorrent. Love it's simplicity and lightness.
Would like to try the 2.0 beta, but the site has been inaccessible for the past couple of weeks at least. Is it just me?

Thanks Bakedbean! NOW I know it's at my end. Both of my browsers still can't connect to the site though.Wonder why?

I use uTorrent but Im kind of leaning more towards The BitTorrent client since its the exact same thing.

User of uTorrent as well, all of the other clients seemed a lot too bloated and cluttered for my taste. uTorrent is also the fastest for my computer, so it all works out in the end.

I use utorrent, lightweighter, but still no problems what so ever.

rtorrent seems to work well for my needs. Im more a CLI guy ;-)

I use µtorrent, always and forever. Tiny program that does whatever you want + more, and its super fast and reliable. More than 2/3 of all my download peers do as well.

I've only tried Vuze (formerly Azureus) and microtorrent (utorrent). Using dial-up, Vuze will accomodate up to 20+ plus torrents downloading (any 12 simultaneously active and the others queued ) and 300+ seeding, although I'm aware they're not all active and most are queued, the point is that vuze handles these numbers. Utorrent handles less than 10% of that which vuze handles. As soon as I try to download more than 3 torrents using utorrent, total bandwidth across all torrents is slow whereas total bandwidth with vuze doesn't taper off until I appoach 30+queued/12active downloading and 250 queued/? active seeding b4 total bandwidth tapers off to any noticeable degree. Now, other clients may be faster when downloading only 1 or 2 simultaneously, but can they handle large numbers of torrents ?
N.B. I have previously been a broadband user, but back in those days I did not have a need for large numbers of torrents so can't comment on the performance issue using BB.
I have though, experimented with just 1-3 simultaneous downloading, less then 10 seeding and there seems no appreciable improvement in overall speed of the client. I download overnight for 12 hours and manage 150-170 MB per 12 hr session using dial-up (56K), irrespective of torrent load on the Vuze client.
I'm interested in what others may have experienced !

hi i use utorrent for years now at one time i used azureus then they screwed with and came up with bloated vuze real shame so iam sticking with utorrent plus it shuts the pc down after downloads finished or finished seeding at night
