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

I'll try out Torrentstorm. Hopefully it will be better than Shadow's.

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

whats wrong with the offical one? its awsome, it isnt a resource hog, doesnt give my corrupted files, downloads fast, and has a really simple 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&#39;s EXPERIMENTAL CLIENT and was fairly impressed, it&#39;s very fast and reliable. The only negative is it&#39;s huge window and need to re-open torrents when starting up, otherwise it&#39;s great.

Shadow + torrent spy unbeatable.
