A little resources heavy but the second fastest client, after shadows of coarse

I have heard of people that said they like that client, but I didn't I stick with shawdow's

Azureus has a few things in favor of it:

- You can prioritize files within a torrent. That way you can download only the files you want from a big collection torrent and don't have to d/l files you already have.

- It has a built-in tracker, which you can activate and use as a maintracker or, which I do a lot, configure as a backup tracker, so that it's less likely there'll be tracker problems.

- Built-in scrape function. It can get the number of seeders/peers directly from the tracker

That being said I use both Azuereus and TorrentStorm

i found shadows was eating like 200~300MB RAM, which was killin me, so i switched to Azerus, which so far seems pretty damn good.

also it saves the .torrent files for you; you dont need to right click>save as etc.

[3rd gen noob]

i think this is the fastest and most efficient bitt client

Haven't tried it in a while, but it was definitly the nicest client so far, however, I got shit speeds with it (mentioned it in another thread). If it wasn't for that, I'd definitly go with it. Saw they had released another update, will wait a while and try it out again.

Are there any english Shadows sites, Google is only pulling up sites in German
