Utorrent vs Rtorrent

[messi30]

I am using Kimsufi with linux. What is the choice better for my seedbox?

in my opinion
utorrent the best

I use rtorrent, and I loves it. You don't need to install a gui or vnc or anything like that for it. Apparently utorrent on a linux box is quite resource hungry because it is run through wine.

If you are planning on creating your own torrents for some site from the server, i don't think you can do it from rtorrent though :( You could do it from home and then upload files or whatever. With utorrent you could create the torrent file itself from the server.

I vote for rtorrent! :)

I love rTorrent, takes much less resources too.
And I use the "btmakemetafile" command provided by the "bittorrent" package to create my torrents in the command line, which I find faster than in kTorrent or uTorrent ;)

utorrent... for me is the best.

I wish people would actually give reasons on why so-and-so is better. These one word answers aren't really helping messi that much.

Guess it just depends on what you plan on doing with the box. If you are just gonna be downloading and seeding to build buffers, then rtorrent ftw as it uses less resource and don't need to install vnc and wine, but if you are going to be uploading to other sites as well then utorrent will be easier to use. It also depends on your level of knowledge of linux, and on that part only you know the answer.

as stated
rtorrent use less resources, utorrent is mre friendly of course

[DasFox]

I wish they'd make a Linux binary of uTorrent...

[TidusBlade]

Well if you use utorrent because of the WebUI, theres a few WebUI's for rTorrent :)

[yayyyyyy]

dunno if all the ppl in here saying: "utorrent is the best" are really running utorrent on a low spec box with 1.3ghz cpu and 256mb ram...

for me: rtorrent without any doubt ;)

Hmm... Isn't Rtorrent for linux ?
There is no way to know which is better when the softwares are for different OS's ...

does anyone even bother to read the original post in a thread?

I am using Kimsufi with linux.


edit: try them both and see which one you prefer. I used rtorrent for a while, but ended up going back to utorrent w/ webui. speeds and performance were the same on both programs.

[bombi]

ofcourse utorrent :)
