Transfering files from one Torrent client to Another?

Hi i am currently using uTorrent which ive found out is taking LOADS of my speed for example il be downloading at 4kb/s and then internet doesnt work or is really slow... Went to speedtest.net to check my speed and comes up as 18mb per second! when utorrents not on and 300kb when its on!

Therefor i am going to be changing the client to? (well not sure yet) But im in the middle of downloading a HUGE FILE! And id like to know if i can somehow continue it on a different client?

Also what is a good BITTorrent Client with no hidden extra crap like BitComet...

 

hmm do i answer this question or not... considering if it is only legal stuff that your downloading i think its fair. I'd switch to azureus if you really dont like utorrent but it is more heavy on resources. The best possible way to switch is to try and download only the parts that you don't have completed and then put them together.

 

Dude, this isn't the right place for this kind of problems. Try http://forum.utorrent.com/

 

Well considering im asking how to change to another torrent client and which one is best? after u torrent.

Then i guess this is the right place!

In reply to the first post yeah i tried azurues last night but u cant select what parts u want to download!?! Silly program or maybe silly me? haha

 

Azureus. Yes, you can select the parts you want to download, you just need to start the download first. Each client almost certainly uses a different way to handle partial downloads, so if you switch to a different client expect to restart from the beginning.

You'd be better off figuring out why it's currently so slow. Since many people use uTorrent with no problem, the problem is most likely in another place, like your firewall, network, or ISP.

 

My point is, maybe before you change the client, try found out a solution..

 

Bitcomet and Azureus are the best. About switching files,never really made it work...

 

Chances are it's not totally the fault of uTorrent but rather how you have (not) configured it.

Make sure you are forwarding the correct ports and that you have a router which can handle the amount of incoming and outgoing connections. Some cheap routers cannot handle the connections to all the peers uTorrent connects to and slow down to a grind.

 

Utorrent...try limiting the connections. Or figure out how to set up a proper QoS.

 

its your routers port forwarding settings.

 

Usually you just have to point the new client to the place where the incomplete file is, it'll scan it and continue where the previous program stopped.

 

Do you have a firewall installed or is behind a router? That might be the problem... Or the seed/peer of the torrent is too few. Or your ISP blocks your port. Lots of possible reasons. uTorrent is the best for me.

 

i also vote for utorrent.

 

well im not the only person with the problem and i cant be assed changing the router settings and what not. It doesnt happen with other torrent programs only utorrent. Search for utorrent stealing bandwidth on google ul get loads of results.
