    I get the best DL speeds with Azureus. Doesn't seem to weight down my Desk or Laptop like others have claimed.

    I found utorrent to be faster if you optimize it good.

    I've just got back into torrents and am using µTorrent. It's very lightweight, easy to use and doesn't need an installer.

    Used Azureus and BitComet but now use uTorrent- it is small, fast and easy.

    It's as easy as A...B...C :p

    With the rubbish desktop I'm on whilst at home, been trying to get my brother to switch from bitcomet. Its so crap! So much slow down. Downloaded uTorrent and Azureus which were much better but the idiot didn't want to learn a new layout :rolleyes:

    At first, I thought Azureus rocked, but then I realized how much of a hog it was and switched to uTorrent. Great program, low system usage.

    Can't believe it's not 90%+ uTorrent. Indisputably the single best torrent client for the Windows operating system.

    Another vote for utorrent. I used to use ABC for a long time, but utorrent simply blows it away in all aspects. Azureus never agreed with my system, too many crashes and freezes.

    Utorrent, works with minimal user input and does what I want it to do.
