azureus is based on java. it takes up more resources and the speeds are slow and u can&#39;t configure much

i dont think u have tried Az otherwise u whouldnt have made these comments ( java programs has always been light as fuck)

i&#39;ve used azureus. it&#39;s a good client, but it hogges more resouces than shadows [/b][/quote]
No you haven&#39;t really otherwise you would&#39;ve known it has the most features of all the Bittorrent clients.

It has (amongst other things):

• Integrated Tracker (VERY handy&#33
• Automatic Seeding Rules (e.a. how much you want to seed etc.)
• Queueing of downloads
• Catagorizing of downloads
• Remote Web Interface
• Automatic saving of torrents etc.
• Torrent Creation
• Very detailed info on torrents
• Active Sharing of complete Folders (just like Kazaa only through Bittorrent)
• Lots of options of setting the amount of connections, ports, etc

The only thing it doesn&#39;t have is bandwidth per torrent option, which the developers of Azureus deem &#39;unfair&#39; (but you can still set your seeding amount through the seeding rules)

So contrary to what you say, I dare say that Azureus has the most options of all Bittorrent clients&#33;

As for resource hog, you should use the latest Java JRE. Then it doesn&#39;t use more resources than ABC or mutliple Shadow&#39;s windows.

i fully agree with NotoriousBIC, and it may seem weird but am i supposed to have azureus in task manager? dont see it only java, thats a plus

also whihc BIC didnt say, least didnt think he did, was that az has loads of plugins, multiport is ahndy, lets you connect to multiple ports on a single torrent, very popular torrents have multports, east game does i believe

country locator, peer guardian, suprnova lister, hmm what else *looks on az site* hmm and a BT IRC bot, ill have to look into that one,i think it displays your speeds on irc , wait just loked, yuo can control azureus from irc, gotta try that

plus there are some "home-brew" plugins that ive seen

I don&#39;t know whether its best but i use it and its very good.

In having its own tracker azures does sound interesting but i would need a better reason to change clients.

anyone ever use the upnp client?

(its been my favorite since november)

[RealitY]

I use Shadow and Azureus depending on what my needs are...

The only way I find my reasons is by trying several clients.
I&#39;ve never found these kind of threads any helpful in deciding which one is best.
