good bittorrent client

one more vote for utorrent..
I tried Azureus (did I spell that right?), bitTornado and utorrent...

azureus has user friendly interface but takes too much resource....
mine was using up like 50 mbs of memory...

bitTornado is alright but I think utorrent and azureus are easier to use

utorrent I loved the most because it didn't need to be installed, took up less resource than those two and also has user friendly interface

 

I used to use Shareaza. But many of the torrent sites or whatnot have banned it. So I use BitComet, gets the job done.

 

I can safely recommend uTorrent as the best bittorrent client. It's small, a single executable, uses almost negligible resources, and has all the features a casual bittorent user could ever want.

As for Limewire, I prefer Frostwire. It has no spyware/adware/malware/etc and has a nifty looking icon.

 

Azereus or BitComet.

I use BitComet now because of the Anti-BT filter which blocks ISP's from knowing that you are using torrents.

 

utorrent (micro-torrent) is exactly as the name suggests. It uses a tiny amount of system resources yet has almost all the features you want. It is a great client. I wish that team would make uwindows...an entire OS using 10MB RAM *dreams*

Check out bitpump by AnalogX. They have some really cool, low profile software and bitpump is cut from the same cloth. And it's free.

 

utorrent owns all

 

I started using utorrent. I really like it. I finally get some good download rates.

I used to use azeareaus. then I discovered bitcomet a year ago, and then switched to utorrent about 6 months ago

Another vote for utorrent. Started out with the standard BT client and am amazed it ever got off the ground. Tried azureus but I have a huge bias against java client apps so it got un-installed in about 2 seconds. Got scared off by some spyware accusation with a few other torrent clients. Ended up with uTorrent which is amazingly well programmed.

 

i love bittorrent...very easy to use, and it uses almost no resources.

pb,out.

 

I started with the first version of the original program by bram cohen, then I tried ABC which is great also and have just kept on trying new versions. Utorrent as others have said is the least demanding and the absolute best for windows users. Linux users I think should give azureus a go but utorrent is best for windows.

 

I uses Shadow's Experiment and Azerus

 

microTorrent seems to be a good (or uTorrent)....Its very lightweight and it has PE too [good for ISPs that block/limit p2p traffic]

 

definitly μTorrent....it has a tiny footprint compared to the rest...especially Azerus which is java based.

 

utorrent..best program created

 

Ive been using azureus and bitcomet for a while now.. is utorrent really that good?!

 

For those who use uTorrent,

When you go to download it, whats the difference between the 'standalone' (154kb) and the installation program (560kb)?

Any advantages or disadvantages of either?

 

i tried utorrent recently and i do not like it! utorrent slows down my web browsing dramatically.

 

I think it's normal when using torrent clients, 'cause the more you seed/leech, the less TCP connections left for other uses. I have several complaints in my Event Viewer everyday
uTorrent rocks anyway, lightweight and get the job done, just K.I.S.S principle

 

utorrent for the win

 

i tried azureus, bitornado and utorrent. azureus took a while to load and consumed a lot more memory that the theo other two. bitornado is also great; the lightest amonst the three. utorrent doesn't even need to be installed! consumed a lot less resources than azureus (is not java based) just like bitornado and has a relly clean interface that is memory friendly. Plus it loads almost insantly.

 

The only one I used to use was ABC. Worked pretty well for me, never tried the others, so it would get my vote.

 

I've used BitComet once and that seemed okay, but I don't completely understand BitTorrent.

 

i use bitlord....

 

I use μTorrent, no problems, works great

 

^ +1. Been using it for a while now.

 

bitlord works fine for me

 

i'm ignorante with all of this discussion!

can some explain to me what torrent is? how it works? befits? etc...

thanks!

 

i use to use ABC, but now i use azureus. best change ever made

 

uTorrent

What are the benefits of downloading the Installation Program over the Standalone package and vice versa?

 

From your choices, I'd go with Azureus. But the best is "Other" uTorrent.

 

Yeah utorrent is the best for sure.

There's no difference; the installation package will automatically create the program directory, if you just download the stand-alone you have do put it in a folder manually.

 

utorrent user here.

 

I migrated from Shadows experimental (bittornado) too utorrent about 6 months ago... i pwns. low memory usage, high connection speed (~900-1000 kB), and retained surfability. i liked the barbones GUI of shadows though

 

+1 for UTorrent.

 

I used to use bitcomet the most but one website didn't recommend using it and said utorrent is best so ever since I used utorrent.
Bitlord doesn't work on some website as well.

azureus is best known torrent program but like others, I think the program is laggy and you don't need a big torrent program to download torrent.

 

and where i Utorrent??
it is small,simple and fast .

so i voted others ,i think you beter expand the poll a bit because "others" is winning

 

Azureus for dl speed.

I've tested dl'ing the same torrent with azureus and utorrent and utorrent doesn't come close to azureus. Not sure why and i'll test again because everyone seems to be raving about utorrent. But given speeds of 5-10kbs I can't see why anyone would want to use it.

If new results are comparable, then I'd go with uTorrent simply for the faster start-up time and low footprint.

 

I love uTorrent, it's so light. I am sad that there isn't a Linux edition, so I have been using Azareus again. Azareus has a great many features, but its so heavy and consumes mass memory.

 

The download speed should be exactly the same with both clients... I dunno what would cause such a difference.

 

my vote goes to micro torrent as well.

 

Best client to me is Utorrent

 

Even now after acquisition by Bittorrent, uTorrent is still the unquestionably the best client for the basic user on Windows - combining all the necessary features into a program that barely takes any RAM whatsoever (unlike Azureus, which decided to go the complete opposite direction with Vuze for some inexplicable reason).

As for BitComet being the best for leechers, supposedly they fixed that no?

 

I vote for UTorrent. Quick loading time unlike azureus.

 

uTorrent gets the best speeds for me. Easily 200kbps. I've tried others, but they seem generic or I just don't like it.

 

I used Bitcomet, then tryed Azureus and worked better, now the best I've ever used is BitSpirit, Really awesome. I stick to it without a doubt.

 

Can someone please explain to me what bittorrent is? What is the purpose?

 

U-torrent and azureus

 

I only use utorrent very fast and lightweight program!
