does azureus have faster speeds than utorrent?

[bombi]

I use uTorrent, think its better.

HA... my utorrent is using 600+MB when d/ling on my 100mbit box... still havent figured out that problem...

but i'd still use it over azureus...

utorrent is faster a little (about %1-2) bit than azureus.. but im using azureus because its definately better program. u can play with any options in it. it looks complicated at first but complicated programs "always" better than simple ones

Always? Really?

µtorrent doesn't need java installed so it gets my vote.

i love utorrent. it's so light on system resources. azureus is java based and consumes a hell lot of RAM.

Unused ram is wasted ram. I want programs to fully use my available ram. So as long as you have a decent amount of ram, azureus doesnt have any problems. If you dont have enough ram or if you run other ram hogging programs on your seeding box(games for example), then it is probably best to use utorrent.

Only problem is if your maxed on ram in your torrent client. What if you want to play a game or encode something to a differant format?

Just cause its there doesnt mean you have to max it.
Ex: Your car can go 160mph yet most normal people wont go over 80 - 90mph on the highway.

Azureus is faster in terms of downloading, if your on a fast connection you'll see the difference with azureus.

ps. thats a horrible analogy.

Azureus is the best choice on a mac anyway...
