Get TorrentStorm. You can use Shadow's latest Expreimental as the downloader version, but you also have a choice the 5.8.6 or the original 3.3 client to download torrents. It also has a load of extra features like using only one window for all downloads and it will save the torrent information until you ask to remove it, so you don't have to find the torrent hyperlink again if the download is interrupted.

Spyware sucks

I am looking for a client with small footprint. I love Shadow's Experimental but the thing is buggy and eats BIG AMMOUNTS of memory. If you like me has 10 torrents open at the same time you really see what I am talking about. I will ask some questions here, I apreciate your answers about this. TIA:

1. Can you configure the bandwidth settings in torrentstorm like you do in Shadows? I choose the ISDN setting in shadows because if not I get very bad speed, with this setting I get good speed.
2. Can you check if your firewall is conflicting and the status of the torrent in real time? I love the Shadow's light that gives you the status all the time.
3. I was going to install Shareaza that appears to manage also all your downloads in the same screen. Any comments about it?

And finally: I use Supernova, it has nice torrents, but also use _http://www[please no torrent links]bits.org. What are the best sites at the momment that are in the level compiting with what Supernova use to be?

Thank you m8s.

i like shadows experimental the best, very simple, i dont mind the multiple windows, THORZ, try phoenix-torrents.com very good, close to supernov, but not quite

Shad0ws and ABC are the best, although ABC tends to freeze when i play games, still good though

i find shadows 5.8.7 works fine no probs at all

Get the official Bram Cohen (der TorrentMeister himself) version 3.3 here - no spyware adware or any other ware
