uTorrent v. Azureus

[iGene]

I read on the torrentleech FAQ that you should use either Azureus or uTorrent . I have been using Azureus for a while, and its fine. But which one is considered better?

[RTFM]

For me, uTorrent is better because it has all of the features of Azureus (at least all of the ones I used), and because it isn't as much of a resource hog as Azureus (Java...).

[lee551]

agreed ^

azureus seems to use much more memory than utorrent. they're pretty much the same otherwise.

[nokturnal88]

matter of preference I guess....I've used both but stuck with Azureus mainly.

[Chrys]

I preffer uTorrent !

[zak2210]

They both do the same thing, but uTorrent is more 'lightweight' - it uses less resources and therefore enables your computer to run faster than if you were using Azureus.

So if you were looking at it from that perspective uTorrent is the better client.

[kirktrix]

i tried to used utorrent first but got a problem regarding internet speed. Everytime i used utorrent in our office the internet connection of my boss and my co worker are become slow. I almost got fired..... that's why i changed to Azurues. But i think i just missed some configuration on Utorrent.

Azureus can do more things than uTorrent (including support for plugins), but it's just a matter of personal preference - try both.

As for myself... Azureus. But I'm biased. :D

[iGene]

thx, i've gotten both to see which is better. Also, is there a way to transfer your torrents from one client to antoher? I have many files uploading on azureus, but i decided to switch to uTorrent, but i also don't want to not be able to seed those files, any suggestions?

You can export the torrent files from the downloads from Azureus (Advanced > Export) menu - I don't know if there's any easy way to get µTorrent to find the files you're after (without specifying the path manually).

[lomu123]

Utorrent all the way. a clean and easy to use application. the new remote version is brilliant. i can access and add more torrents to my home computer from work.

[McStabhappy]

uTorrent nothing else compares

[Paint]

utorrent is just so clean and easy to use

[emsee]

I prefer Azureus any day

[torrentman85]

I use azureus. it´s the best

[menlyman]

Before i used Azerus but then i tryed uTorrent And its even better cause it takes less ram

[Fortech]

utorrent probably is better but ive always used azureus so im sticking with that

[boban]

Even though Azureus is a java based client and eats up the resources of my computer it is still the best torrent client and the most stable.

[nvidia6800]

utorrent for me

[sunrise01]

Azureus

the best

[islamway]

utorrent 4me

[Morphy666]

utorrent by far

[temagna]

will look into both a will pick one of them

[raspberry1331]

azureus overheats my turion CPU when checking hash... so it's utorrent.

[showbox]

UTorrent ;)

[redMonster]

I used to use Azureus before, but I realized that it hogs down the resources a lot. So I prefer µtorrent now.

[ChelseaManiac]

i actually really like azureus, utorrent just doesnt do it for me

[prisonbreak2]

uTorrent

[christhevan]

utorrent, as long as it isn't 1.6.1 :D

[dsfargeguser]

I prefer uTorrent because it uses a smaller amount of resources.

[custandre]

utorrent is just so clean

[S!X]

Utorrent was love at first sight for me, with such low memory usage and all it's features it's a must!

[SputnikSweethrt]

I love uTorrent <3

[r0n1n]

i used both and think that utorrent is better for not using ram and cpu but azureus is better if u like to be able to use good plugins [like stuffer]. i dont need those things so i prefer to use utorrent.

[adibdimitri]

u torrent is like seed and forget it. it isn't a memory hog like azureus.

[Old-Horse]

I preffer uTorrent

[elorush]

uTorrent its very fast torrent

[snake561]

utorrent is the best but azureus isnt so bad too (u have so many options that u can set)

[anions]

The answer is a pretty Emphatic "uTorrent".
FFS, who'd be stupid enough to give up RAM just for kicks(unless you have 2 gigs(which most of you do)), but we 512 folks stick to uTorrent, and noone says no to a faster app. Whats more, uTorrent also has the bosskey feature, thats all i need =p

[durex]

uTorrent definitively.
simple and light.

[amitalex23]

utorrent is the best ever 4 me.

[fz_shurtugal]

I've been using Azureus for over a year now.....hackers can easily hack through it though unless you have worthy anti-spyware to block them with......thats why I haven't been able to download any torrents for a while since damn Norton decided to expire......

almost everyone on this board is obsessed with uTorrent.....is it really that much better that Azureus?......which ones faster?......

[Kosyak]

I prefer uTorrent. Simply and faster..

[memnom]

utorrent is fine man, az is a resource hog.

[Maxharl]

I prefer azureus, 'cause it has many features.

[Why_me]

utorrent - small weight, high speed ;)
This application has everything that I need in bt client.

[prisonbreak2]

I preffer uTorrent

[moikan]

last time i used azureus i had to install JVM on my pc and the entire thing took too much resources
uTorrent is not java based and takes nearly no resources + it has lots of features

[killer04]

I use Utorrent as it uses less ram

[SaveFerris]

Azureus all the way. It disappoints me that the ratio is slowly slipping in favour of uTorrent. :cry:

[TorrenTy]

Utorrent has higher grade since luanching the WebUI application .

Azuereus also good.

[himo]

I preffer uTorrent then bitcommet

[Kaine]

I'll try and state as many facts about each as I can. Keep in mind, though, that being on a rather low-end laptop I am forced to stick with utorrent, although i did start out with azureus 1)utorrent uses less ram. i once had 100 active torrents and i only used 20mb ram and just as much cpu as utorrent always uses when i use all my bandwidth. azureus uses java, which basically takes over your computer. 2)utorrent is more easy to configure/setup and get going. with azureus, there are just so many options everywhere it can drown a noob (it frustrated me, that's for sure) 3)on the positive side, however, if you are want to get into deep configuration settings, azureus it your man. 4)most people who are open-source supporters will use azureus instead because it is open source, and utorrent isnt. 5)both utorrent and azureus have been tested to be equally fast. azureus just uses more ram :? 6)azureus does have plugins, unlike utorrent, including the popular plugin that blocks ip addresses that can block anti-p2p organizations and the govt. on the other side of the coin, however you can use the ever-growing peerguardian with utorrent and block up to 20 different lists. peerguardian's anti-p2p list always gets updated personally, i'd choose utorrent simple because whatever azureus can do, utorrent (or a utorrent and peerguardian combo) can do just a good - but using less ram. utorrent is just clean, simple, and hot.
sorry for not spacing out my post, but i am new here and for some reason i can't make paragraphs. :/

[alesarmin]

in my opinon utorrent is better in almost very way. the only better thing with azureus are all the plugins available. but the best torrent client have to be bittornado, easy to use and fast.

[pyton_2]

I use uTorrent - he has all what I need

[Kaine]

in my opinon utorrent is better in almost very way. the only better thing with azureus are all the plugins available. but the best torrent client have to be bittornado, easy to use and fast. actually utorrent uses less ram than bittornado. utorrent is also regularly updated. bittornado is still in experimental stages (0.3.18 I believe).

[akkk]

I have been using utorrent for more than 6 months now and belive it's the best.

[dealclean]

like all the ppl utorrent no doubt!!

[usomani]

i feel utorrent is nice..but azureus has a new version up..havent used it yet..hows it?

[zehsay]

I used to use Azureus, but it consumed a lot of resources. Now i use uTorrent and I am very happy with it.

[MetalKid]

i like more utorrent used azureus dont like it

[Zidane36]

I preffer uTorrent

[PatRs77]

use both but prefer utorrent

[mbucari1]

I am a recent converter to utorrent.

[Hax]

µTorrent is the only one I use.

[kaosfere]

It's not much of a choice for those of us who don't run Windows.

Azureus sees heavy use on my Linux media center box.

Azureus + ScaneRSS to autodownload new TV episodes + AutoSpeed to keep my bandwidth from being too saturate to websurf (or use my voip phone) + SafePeer for rogue IP blocking + console UI for command line access + HTML web UI for remove web-based access.

That combined with a tunneling proxy from my colo'd webserver and I can remotely monitor and control Azureus from work or on vacation.

And who can't love that?

[Alone2Gether]

I've used both and prefer utorrent. It is NOT a resource hog and download speed seems faster on my FiOS

[Razoth]

I've only used utorrent myself, but I've assisted other friends who have used Azureus. Nearly every last one of them converted over to utorrent after seeing how it ran on my computer. It's simple, easy, doesn't take up much HD space, and doesn't hog all your resources. That last seems to be the overall selling factor.

[balajik]

I was using Azureus but i feel µtorrent is better.

[albcoe]

At first i used Azureus, but i changed when a friend told me about utorrent, i tried and become a fan.

[SnipeR19]

Azureus 2.5.0.4

[Busyman™]

I've used both and prefer utorrent. It is NOT a resource hog and download speed seems faster on my FiOS

Same here. I have 15Mbps and I know people love uploading from me.

[tetraktys]

uTorrent has everything that I need.

[ronaldinho123]

I preffer uTorrent

[crazy skulls]

tnx bor

[mohamed01]

uTorrent

[ronaldinho123]

[lineman]

μTorrent for me. It's lightweight, has all the features I need and gets the job done :)

[the-big-gamer]

u torrent the best for me man
just try

[iga04]

uTorrent is excellent for me - so easy to use.

[Delorean]

uTorrent! It downloads the torrents without any problem, simple and light on system resources and all.

[TetlyTea]

uTorrent! It downloads the torrents without any problem, simple and light on system resources and all.

Pretty much what i was going to say.

I think 3/4 BT users must use utorrent, its just so god dam good :D:D

[titofat]

uTorrent is better

[fisz]

yep one more "vote" for utorrent

[fstrulz]

I love uTorrent's Scheduler... It allows me to control my bandwidth on specific times of the day...

[will.atkins]

I prefer uTorrent but some disagree
utorrent is resource light fast and simple yet customizable

[akkk]

I have been using utorrent for a long time and am very satisfied with it :)

[Heroo]

For me uTorrent is better

[fluxd]

I use utorrent because it is tiny and less memory intensive. Java kills azureus and the fact that the integrated some sort of tracking system in AZ.

[alex007]

They both do the same thing, but uTorrent is more 'lightweight' - it uses less resources and therefore enables your computer to run faster than if you were using Azureus.

[valhallabjj]

I used to use Azureus but kept having problems with the bittorrents I was downloading. I couldn't open at least half of what I downloaded because of errors. I changed over to uTorrent and downloaded the same bittorrents and was able to open everyone of them.:happy:

[520011]

What last version?

[Night0wl]

I use Azureus and always have. I just like the interface more on Azureus although I know uTorrent is good as well.

Doesn't eat up enough resources for me to want to change. At least newest version 2.5.0.4 doesn't.

[mohamed01]

Azureus

[gogurles]

well its UTORRENT :yup:

[burtz]

uTorrent! i like azureus too but my pc hates java. but i think utorrent would be better if there were more options on torrent's LABELs.

[Heroo]

Utorrent is the best

[Creeping Death]

I prefer Utorrent, and I've tried both

Seems like it's fair to say that most people agree

[solaris]

utorrent is the best ,light on system:D

[gygz]

For me, uTorrent is better because it has all of the features of Azureus (at least all of the ones I used), and because it isn't as much of a resource hog as Azureus (Java...).

agreed
u Torrent the first :)

[jennivieve]

i use utorrent, but i used azureus before.... for me utorrent is better....

[cRaZyzMaN]

Utorrent is the best

[Aboud2010]

UTorrent is the best

[Heroo]

u torrent better than azureus

[shankly69]

I use UTorrent and haven't found a better one out there yet!

[jpExposure]

since uTorrent is currently not available to MAC (except through wine) I use Azureus.

[FireMan]

Utorrent is the best client for me at the moment.:yup:

More simple to use.

:gunsmilie

[zeven0]

I preffer uTorrent.

[KevinGarnet]

i tried both.. and if you have a lot of memory like 1 GB or more i think you could use azureus.. for me it is better but one minuse that it require a lot memory.. so i use utorrent because i haven't a lot memory and it is really great.. so both programs have minuses and pluses and people can use what they want i think..

[frtdi150]

I preffer uTorrent

[eltipo]

the best utorrent

[itS0v3r]

Utorrent rocks
it takes less space in the memory card

and Azureus , having a fake upload script , so utorrent is better :)

[Giallorosso]

utorreent is the best

[houssam]

I preffer uTorrent !

[Gish]

Java is the devil where as utorrent is light weight

[hema999]

u torrent 100%

[byneco2]

utorr

[beki]

I used to apply Azureus. Now I use uTorrent. uTorrent is a very fast and small client, but Azu has huge knowledge.

I like both.

[fstrulz]

I used to use uTorrent 1.6.1... I just bought a new computer with 1GB RAM, so I just switched to Azureus 2.5 and it doesn't slow down my computer at all. I also notice that I'm getting faster speeds with it compared with my speeds with uTorrent... I also like Azureus' vareity of really helpful plugins.

[ramyrakan]

uTorrent > Azureus

[tevez]

I like Azureus.
Azureus is the best! :D

[zd0d]

I use uTorrent, I haven't used Azureus for about a year. I just liked uTorrent so it stuck...

[tupac]

Utorrent is the best. Azureus will be never as fast (not connection speed) as utorrent, since it is written in java :sick:, while utorrent is written in C :yup:

[xeros]

Utorrent, 1.6.x series
I say no to 1.7.x

[vytexx]

utorrent becouse of its speed

[nigalsevoax]

I preffer uTorrent!

[SaKa]

As most people say, I also use µTorrent it's the best torrent program uses so little resources and is simple to use!

[KevinGarnet]

Azureus is client only for users who have a lot of rams.. utorrent is simpler client and people can easy use it.. i think it is best client..
