I am currently using BitLord to download torrents because a friend of mine told me about it. However my speeds arent that great. I was wondering what people think the best torrent client to use is? Or does speed have nothing to do with the client you are using?

I tried downloading torrents early last year but gave up on it fairly quickly because of poor download speeds and multiple disconnects. Thanks to this guide I got it all straightened out now and any client i use works like a champ now.

djsosofresh,
I had little to no luck with any client I used. most would not connect at all. BitTornado now and then but the speeds were bad. most stayed around 20k if it actually connected. After going through the guide I found my problem was port forwarding with my router and settings in my firewall. After trying a few downloads with multiple clients I get around 200 - 200k.
