uTorrent vs. Azureus

[anas_uddin]

utorrent is by far superior, especially for users that don't use many plugins.
It is way less of a resource hog than azureus.

[kliantel]

azureus is easy to use lol

[InspiredMind]

I like them both it really does depend on what you are using them for.
uTorrent is a lot lighter but azures does have a lot of useful features.
I always start to wonder when I hear this sort of statement. Being fairly new to bittorrent...what else would I use a torrent client for other than downloading torrents and seeding torrents?
uTorrent seems to do both of these well, and has a small footprint. Is there something else I can do in the torrent world that Azureus affords me and uTorrent does not?
:dabs:

[scone]

uTorrent all the way.
Its always been good to me. :)

[mantunk]

had lots of problems with azureus and it just hogs my PC resources. utorrent FTW

[Brb]

i've been using azureus for year and a half.. then tried uTorrent, and no color
utorrent dload as fast as azureus and much better performance :w00t:

[doctorcdcs]

switched from azureus to utorrent a few months ago, and never looked back since. It's so amazing to have a program which as much functionality as i need as utorrent in such a small package. add to the fact that it doesn't use that much resource space as well is a welcome bonus.

[nodzv]

utorrent is smaler lighter... runs perfectly on my system

[Tmaster]

utorrent is hopeful

[LIOR12]

utorrent

[tdoar]

I once used azureus, till i found out how much resources it ate

Then i switched to bitcommet till it got banned for the DHT leak problem.

finally i switched to uTorrent and i am very pleased - great functionality, low resource consumption, no *known* security leaks on public sites.

So i would have to say uTorrent!

[Shadowfire]

From my experience, uTorrent is much faster at startup and overall performance compared to Azureus. uTorrent doesn't require you to install JRE, and you don't even have to install uTorrent itself (just run the single file, and that's it). uTorrent also takes up a lot less memory than Azureus.

I know these things from experience because I just recently switched from Azureus to uTorrent, and I'm so much happier because of it.

[EcksBizzle]

both apps are great, but I go with uTorrent due to low memory consumption.

[andrew1234]

Azureus on my computer is faster and is a better program. I can never get utorrent to be like Azureus tried many times! :D

[Artakserksis]

uTorrent is the best torrent client out there, in my opinion. It's very light, and simple, without missing any features.

[tjewell71]

I switched from bitcomet to utorrent, but am having a hard time opening up my torrent sits. What was nice about bitcomet was you could open up 3-4 torrent sites through there site and not have 4 web pages open. Does anyone know if utorrent will do this?

[markes_do]

tested both. I prefer µtorrent, due to the small memory usage.

[kingyo]

uTorrent is much better

[alex888]

i might give utorrent a try..Azureus is good but take up too much mem.

[asthagar]

azureus

[akenemy13]

utorrent for sure, doesn't eat my resources like azureus :blink:

[slandi]

u torrent

[yona123]

i like azureus better than utorrent.
they all good but i think that azureus is better....

[bxi99]

View signature. :)

[safa]

u torrent

SAme here

[Greebo_cat]

Azureus did use about 50% of my system recources (P4 3,2GHz) while µtorrent uses less than 2%.

So I use µtorrent

[eway]

I now use Azureuz and yea it "eats" memory, but its really good besides that. but im councidering switching to U-torrent! but im afraid that its "banned" on lot of sites? or im i wrong? or is it just some older versions?

lol, sould be completely otherwise,
utorrent is better than azureus.

[Kruger]

I've used both of them, and I think that uTorrent is better, Azureus uses too much of system resources.

[lszb]

I use only uTorrent with no problem

[matjiz]

ain't there torrent sites that ban utorrent? because of the fake seeding scripts or something? i might be thinking of bitcomet.

[kinjo]

ain't there torrent sites that ban utorrent? because of the fake seeding scripts or something? i might be thinking of bitcomet.

think you are talking about bitcomet....everyone loves utorrent because its simple to configure and very light on the resources.the beta version has a web ui interface for those who want to check up on there torrents from work....:)

i would have prefered azureus to utorrent but it is the biggest resouorce hog i have ever seen in a torrent client... maby because i havent configured it right...
for now its utorrent for me....

[smalle]

µtorrent > azureus
\o/ resources

[zyduuu]

ain't there torrent sites that ban utorrent? because of the fake seeding scripts or something? i might be thinking of bitcomet.

Mostly older versions of Utorrent (1.3 , 1.4 ) are banned 1.6 is fine and mostly bitcomet 0.63 is banned , 0.7 is fine too ;)

[hungrycow]

Azureus FTW :cool:

[Mabre]

Older versions of Azureus are banned from a lot of trackers as well.

[straightjacket]

I am a master of lame puns, and I MOOO for μtorrent!

(It does most of what Azureus can do with a far less resource cost; it's a bargain basement item that is worth its price.)

[graemek]

i think azureus is the best. i don't have any resource problems with it on my system. The older ones are banned because i think when they update with a new version they do so to fix bugs in the previous version

[jroettger]

uTorrent all the way. That low resource usage is just unbeatable, and you really don't suffer on any features

[Madasahatter]

Gotta be uTorrent...Beats the little blue toad prog hands down.

[delimare]

Azureus is for those who like to micro-manage. uTorrent is for those who like clean, reliable, safe and tidy downloads. Using Azureus makes me feel like I've lost half my clean laundry on the way back to my room. I have to go back when I'm done and clean up/collect all the stuff that got left behind or screwed up. You know how it is, like when you drop your socks and boxers that were sitting atop the pile...

[guybn74]

utorrent rocks

[CHARSi]

uTorrent anyday !!

[tcas]

uTorrent is my preferred client. Azureus used up way too much resources for my purposes. The efficient resource usage of uTorrent is unmatched elsewhere

[itanic]

uTorrent is very nice, but only runs on Windows so is not even an option on my workstation.

[oni222]

uTorrent wins in my opinion for 2 reasons,

#1 Very low memory usage

#2 not java based!

^_^

[pone44]

uttorent for me, never used azureuz. utorrent does the job good enough for me.

I've used Azureus for a long time. If ur system can handle the memory drain, I think its an excellent program.

Azureus makes faster connections than utorrent, so your download speed increases to optimum faster.. but in the end they are both about the same speed.

[SAM]

why? :(

[emperorIX]

I like utorrent for its ease of use and small resource usage, but love azureus' advanced features giving me full control of what my BT client is doing.

[aggro25]

I use Azureus but I have not really played with many others.

[sacebac]

I like two, but i prefer utorrent for sure.........

[Septimus]

Faraway the uTorrent

[MegLeetch]

utorrent

[elm]

uTorrent is perfect for me -- small and fast.

[messi30]

Utorrent is the best.

[Swift]

utorrent nice and easy and don`t eats that many resources

[xJohnxSmithx]

azureus for me. i wouldn't be able to handle the constant updating with utorrent.
cheers

[eatpepsi]

Main reason is Utorrent is slow on my system ;) Although Azureus has lots of feature for Advanced users at times all we wanna do is download the file without hassles ;)

Plus i dont like the interface of Azureus.. Though i use it quite frequently :P

[bubingaclassic]

I like utorrent for its ease of use and small resource usage, but love azureus' advanced features giving me full control of what my BT client is doing.

Full control? Really? The one thing I miss about uTorrent is the management of upload bandwidth. That way, I could give higher priority to the torrents I want as opposed to Azureus determining via a set of rules which torrent gets the higher seeding rank over the other. The fact that I've tried even asking the author to consider such functionality in any future release of Azureus fell on deaf ears as he insisted on sticking to the features in Options and switching certain ones on/off accordingly. At no point did any of the suggestions allude to manually setting the seeding rank of each torrent on an individual basis as simply as uTorrent handles it.

Reality is, had it not been for the fact that uTorrent kills the rest of my internet functionality beyond torrents, I would've stuck with it instead of Azureus with its flawed seed ranking.

[newswalker]

Deluge!

It doesn't have the most features and it's a little bit buggy, but it's quickly developing, has a great RSS plugin and is very fast. If development is continued with this speed I bet Deluge will be the Nr. 1 client in 2009.

utorrent doesn't have and won't get real Regex RSS support, so it's useless for me. Would be my nr. 1 choise for good speed, small size and nice features.

Azureus is Java-shit with connection problems. I tried to upload some file with it and only 1 of 3 peers could connect. The rest had problems caused by java (I googled the error message). I switched to Deluge and all 3 peers could connect within second.

[adissan]

Certainly Utorrent is the best :)
Don t has a lot of bugs like Azureus and uses few resources :D

[LoKaLiRi]

utorrent :P

[FTTH]

It seems that Azureus is slower than Utorrent when I start each of the first leeching
so I prefer Utorrent to Azureus.

[marckecko]

Utorrent

[esco123]

i found that utorrent uses less memory, where as the others use more. plus utorrent is great for noobs as well.

[Peanut]

utorrent simple interface and easy to use less memory

[foxsta]

i prefer utorrent

[pifpaf]

utorrent

[mamacita]

Someone must be desperate for post count to bring back a thread from 2006!

[(I)]

yeah utorrent beated azureus long time ago

[t3w]

I prefer µTorrent as it's much easier to use in my opinion.

[Alessandro]

utorrent

[vinod242]

Someone must be desperate for post count to bring back a thread from 2006!
lol. I guess u r right. Anyway even i use utorrent

[Ri0T]

uTorrent owns Azureus in every aspect I can think of. uTorrent is faster, simpler, lighter and much more convenient. uTorrent FTW!

[dvnaruto]

utorrent is the best :)

[Xtremist]

azu offers more control so I like it better.

[Jamilla]

I prefer Azu bec. its more secure than µtorrent.. in azu. you can delete the .torrent files and still it will run.. in µtorrent it doesn't and hackers can copy your .torrent files in Windows XP local settings folder..

[newswalker]

If a hacker is on my system, i think my least problem will be copied torrent files. ;)

[PRINCE]

both great
but i like utorrent :yup:
simple to use

[OncleNic]

µTorrent rocks !

[DasFox]

uTorrent is great small and lightweight, who can complain, hehe... ;)

[GhostRetired19]

utorrent rocks!

[spero88]

i love utorrent
it is easy in use

[Ivanov]

uTorrent has so many banned versions. I use Azureus from years and I am happy with it.

[fartmaster]

I use uTorrent because it's small and my PC is quite old. I've heard that Az has more features but takes more memory so I've not used it.

[Mr.LOnLY]

i love utorrent
simply: the best

[tetraktys]

utorrent is smaler, lighter.............

[singing_sol]

utorrent and azerus they have ther own importance in the market

[Squall.]

It's not about the best I think, both are for different users and kind of use.

uTorrent is simple, fast and easy to use. Azureus is a little more advanced, and use more Cpu/Ram than uTo. But with this one you can reach better speeds, due to the Java tech.

[Simulador]

Utorrnet is way,way better

[babelone]

I've used utorrent for years now. It's worked great, and I've had no need to change. I also hate java. lol

[DJMidnight]

I've always used uTorrent and haven't really had any problems with it. The speed has always been good for me.

[saqib]

always utorrent

[Shno]

Transmission! Yay!

But I think Azureus is great, although it is quite a memory hog. It's just so customizable.

[fOrUmAs]

when i started to use torrents i have used Bitcomet,but after i see that some tracker have banned Bitcomet then i start to use utorrent and since then just utorrent.

i have also tryed few times with Azureus to see how he works,and it was good but he was eating way to much memory then utorrent so i have stayed with utorrent and never again try with other clients :D

[ACMECorp]

I love uTorrent, but i need more options...
Personal ports for everyone torrent-file,
Thematic folders for everyone torrent tracker,
And more, more, more...! Uff...!

[taffster]

previously used utorrent, but since getting a new PC with Vista pre-installed, i seem to get blue screens of death with it. No problems with AZ though, not sure i like the new VUZE that much though, then to keep the old classic view.

[Quarter]

Azureus is a big, messy, high weigh client. IT SUCKS
uTorrent in the other hand is small, simple and low weigh. IT'S THE BEST

[aavee]

love utorrent
simply: the best
:yup:

[Emperator]

utorrent = bittorrent inc

[paya]

uTorrent the best

[The Flying Cow]

I never managed to put other torrent managers to the test. IMO Azureus sucks out all your memory, whether you have a lot of it or not. I'm still using the last VUZE-free version. VUZE IMO is dogshit.

[bubucea]

uTorrent are the best !

[lostdemon]

utorrent for me
I don't have enough memory on my pc as it is.
Using azureus brings my web surfing to a blazing speed of dripping molasses on a cold winter day. lol

[3ddfreak]

utor tetris is cool!

[yasobelber92]

uTorrent use much less memory then Azureus. But Azureus av got cool extras but i use uTorrent. It's the best

[memo]

µTorrent easy fast cool is the best

[cata2008]

uTorrent is the best

[toti]

utorrent sure

[krisil]

azureus for me

[lolapa]

utorrent fits my needs

[VIZFX]

untorrent works great, but its always good to have an alternative.
