Torrent Client?

Hi, I recently installed windows 7, and ever since my torrents have been causing my internet to shut down/ disconnect... Does anybody know any torrent clients that work with windows 7 properly? Or does someone think it is a different reason? I am currently using Vuze

 

Ummmm....ok BTW I use these to transfer files to a friend swiftly (such as 3d animation work) or (Video's like my review work so he can take a look at it and make changes as well)

 

I recommend utorrent.

BTW.. you should try live mesh from Microsoft. It's faster than torrent clients and it uses private 100Mbit/s+ connection to host your files through p2p network for absolutely free.

 

Oh cool thanks man

ohh too much rep given, Ill get it to you later

 

Utorrent is pretty flexible torrent client. With the right optimizations..etc, I can get in excess of 4MBps or 30Mbps+ download speed from my home internet.

E.G. Ubuntu 32bit iso downlads in less than 5 minutes.

 

If you're an open source nut like me you'll wanna try out Deluge because even though utorrent is free it's not open source. But if that doesn't concern you then it's definitely the better choice because it has a very tiny foot-print.

 

How "small of foot print" is Deluge? What's its idle ram ussage and load ram ussage?

 

I'd recommenbt uTorrent as well! Fantastic!

 

WHAT?! How?

 

Errrr....buy a faster connection?

 

In order to download Ubuntu 32bit iso in 5 minutes, you'll need 2.4MB/s sustained download speed.

I have a 7.5Mbps (0.9375MB/s) internet, but I'm lucky enough that my ISP didn't cap my bandwidth, thus I'm able to download things with more than 30Mbps or 3.75MB/s burst speed and more than 2.5MB/s or 20Mbps sustained bandwidth.

Anyways.. the amazing speed is achieved through protocol encryption (my ISP throttles bandwidth for p2p), allowing massive amounts of incomming connections, and adjusting my tcipip max half open to 50 to allow 50 concurrent connections at one time.

 

Well, I'm not the one who pays for the internet in my house, and as a student it's not really in my budget.

I really have no idea what you just said. I've tried forwarding my ports a couple times, but failed miserably, I don't think I even set up a static IP properly. Is there a website that explains this? Or maybe you could PM me or something, that would be really appreciated. If it's just some settings in uTorrent, I can probably figure it out, but it's 1:00 AM here and I'm going to bed now....

 

You don't have to setup static ip to port forward.

Just go to your router's setup page
-set your ip release time to the maximum
-setup a virtual server to forward ports to your IP.
-go to utorrent and set it to use that port.
-after that you're good to go.

Or you can just forward all the ports to your computer by enabling DMZ for your computer, I think.

 

uTorrent is the fastest and lightest bittorent client out there.

 

Yup and it is working perfectly on windows 7

 

My vote also goes to µTorrent. I'm currently running 1.9 (15380) and it is fairly stable so far.

 

How come so many of you are saying your uTorrent is so light on your computer, for me uTorrent takes up to 50% of the processing power of my CPU ? I noticed this while trying to game with uTorrent in the background, that from time to time my framerate would just crash for awhile and really slow down and become choppy. I was confused as to why this should happen, so I ran Performance Monitor while doing the same thing next time and noticed that uTorrents usage of resources varied from 1-2% of my CPU to 48-49%, in a kind of cycle - high cpu usage -> low cpu usage -> high ->low again etc. The timing of uTorrents resource hogging bursts i guess coincided with my framerate crashes.

 

Another vote for µTorrent.

 

uTorrent FTW! works perfect, light on resources, and super fast

 

I only know how it performs in Ubuntu, but it's like 10-20mb more than in utorrent.

 

Are you downloading things to an usb external hdd?

 

+1 for utorrent.

 

Torrents :\


I use usenet groups

 

+1 uTorrent
