I've used ABC for a while, but I want to switch. It freezes every so often and I constatly get corruption errors. I'm considering trying Torrent Storm. What do you guys think? I want a good single-windowed BT client based on shad0w's. Has to be light on resources too.

First I started with the one built into Sharzaa, didn't care for it. Then I tried the original from the site, didn't like it. Then I came across Azureus, could have been better. Then TorrentStorm, I really liked it.

I didn't really like azerus. Some nice features, but the interface and the way it worked wasn't for me. torrentstorm (http://www.torrentstorm.com) is for me. The only one I would even suggest.

I have tried Nova and it way to simple. I don't think it's based on Shad0w's. I've tried TorrentStorm and I'm loving it! Thanks guys. :D

the speed of the different client should be the same because they are based on the same client the only different is the interface

The interface is horrible. Why have 5 windows of the same program open? Makes no sense. <_<

I used to use the official bt because I have tried all and they really suck. I used torrent storm and was severely disapointed. Abc was ok and had lots of options but had low download rates when downloading rare torrents.
This morning I just started using SHAD0W's EXPERIMENTAL CLIENT and was fairly impressed, it's very fast and reliable. The only negative is it's huge window and need to re-open torrents when starting up, otherwise it's great.
Shadow + torrent spy unbeatable.
