Which bittorrent client do you use?

[Daiwana]

I use azureus, but i think it spends way to much memory

[Midnat]

Utorrent at the moment, but if Bitcomet did something about that dht network, I would switch back..

[tanqle001]

Currently using utorrent. Azureus was giving me problems with connectability. I find utorrent to be easier to use and much faster.

[darthsuo]

Azureus; people say that it's a memory whore, but I don't even notice.

[mdshilli]

Had to switch to uTorrent a couple private sites banned Azureus all together.

[citizenblue]

utorrent was the first i tried, but it always has up and down at the max. If I go to dslspeedreports to find out my actual max up and down, as long as the torrent is available, utorrent will match my speed report results exactly.
In other words why would i try anything else when i am at my max w/ utorrent :)

[hslayer]

bitcomet ftw

[Ceburn]

utorrent and azureus

[Basquiat]

definately utorrent, azureus uses up way to much resources

[spezio]

bitcomet and azureus

[crassy]

µTorrent is the way to go - full of features, NOT written in Java, no installer...

[donwarra]

i use utorrent

[Daywalk]

Azureus is one of the best.Azureus Forever:yahoo:

[stumpe]

Utorrent for the win

[pinuzzubabbu]

azureus cius for all

[tdao]

BitComet

[Rjones]

utorrent 1.6

[bmt134]

Utorrent is all use. What is so great about azureus and bitcomet?

[delhi]

micro-torrent

ie utorrent .. its the best :D

[netermancer]

Utorrent, less use of CPU and no Java requirement.

[X3Nh4nC3D]

uTorrent, tried azurues but i hate java.

[Poi808]

uttorent is easier to use and seems to use less resources than most.

[loggerind]

I use Enhanced CTorrent under a linux shell. Very simple, written in C++, and uses very little resources.

[adrasteia]

utorrent.. version 1.06 small lovely and doesnt max out my resources.. love it

[pECi]

uTorrent all the way :D

[the_pig]

Azureus ftw!

[sharefile4]

Azureus atm, but I'm thinking to move to Utorrent.
sh4.
;)

[zizaziz]

utorrent

[V1nd1c4t0r]

uTorrent 1.6

Besides being low on resource usage, it is not banned in certain trackers that I frequent.

[m00nster]

Azureuz Vs Bitcomet, uTorrent Vs ABC, which bittorrent client do you think is the greatest of all time? :whistling

You can vote on every bittorrent client known to man..

Post your votes here.. :stars:

Here´s a list of various clients: http://www.econsultant.com/lists/top-10-windows-torrent-clients.html

[<--LwA-->]

uTorrent without any doubt........

[delimare]

uTorrent without any doubt........


What he said. uTorrent is, hands down, THE best client. Some sites (mainly private trackers) are actively disabling users and in some cases banning them if they use anything but uTorrent or the original bit torrent client. Unless you're a cheater (using shitty clients to cheat for insane ratios) or a complete retard, you should be using uTorrent.

[pimiske]

there is no best client,there should be best tracker.
At the end all appz do same work for you.

[FreeDoom]

Well, i say µtorrent is the best actually. Though i recognise Azureus is more famous, because of the plugins...

[sababot]

azureus,utorrent and abc :)

[Ivanov]

The best client is that you like it and works fine for you :)
My chose is Azureus.

[rguinn]

I'd have to go with µtorrent.... which makes me sad, as I am a mac user D:

[DBLClick]

Both µtorrent and Azureus are the best, Azureus works on all platforms and more feature rich. But that is just my openion.

[llegate]

I have been using Azureus as well. I was using utorrent for a while, not sure why I quit using it.

The only thing I wish Azureus could do is have the ability to refresh the screen every once in a while. (Like if you sort by share ratio, or DL speed) Maybe I am missing something? If anyone knows please let me know. I will be your bestest friend forever.

[milkaa]

I've tried ABC, BitComet and µtorrent.

µtorrent is without a doubt the best one that works for me.

[projectX]

Yeah I'd say µtorrent. I've tried all of them and it worked best for me. But there's one thing I don't like about µtorrent : It always gives me that ''Disk overloaded ..%'' error when downloading at 4-10mb/s with my root-server. When that happens, the speed drops to 100kb/s and then slowly goes back up but a lot of time goes lost this way.

But still, µtorrent kicks ass ! :D

[Chessking]

utorrent just seems easier to configure, and it is much smaller!

[J708]

I use to use Bitlord but now im using Azureus

[SlappyOil]

utorrent 1.6!

[pinkpunk]

Is Use Azureus & Love It

[pianistu]

I was changing from BitComet to uTorrent, for some reasons: better interface, some private sites ban BitComet, and I like it more, to put it simply :D

[hygeia]

Azureus 2.4.0.2. IMHO "it´s one of the best"

[miggis]

µTorrent for private trackers and Bitcomet for public

[darchu]

µTorrent for encryption and ease of use.

[Minorul]

Azureus - works really fine and looks nice :]

[und3rf0rce]

uTorrent at home
rTorrent on *nix machine at work...

[thorrr]

µTorrent
comfortable, fast, and never get banned

[molotovhavok]

Azureus was causing to many problems so I switched to utorrent and I love it

[Ljugaren]

I use µTorrent, great client :)

[frizshizzle]

Azureus no doubt

[sump]

Im using µTorrent, it´s the best client! :)

[optimistik]

utorrent, amazing client, although azureus is good to

[alextwo]

I've been using Azureus since day one but I've started to use µTorrent on my laptop which seems pretty good so far.

[desototx]

µTorrent

[c4x]

uTorrent @ home, TF @ my seeding box.

[sherlock]

uTorrent. Never had a problem with it.

[muppets]

I mostly use Ktorrent. i some times use utorrent when i'm on windows.

[<--LwA-->]

utorrent....

[roc69x]

Utorrent. Almost as many options as azureus withouth the bloat.

[TheDreamingMan]

BitTornado.

[supermistermagik]

I also prefer BitTornado. I never bothered using a different client.

[yasser25]

Azureus 2.5.0.0

[viirin]

Utorrent is without question the best available for Windows.... the poll lacks any mac clients, so I just thought I'd comment to say that I like Transmission best, but due to it's being banned on Oink, I am forced to use Tomato.

[sebszc]

utorrent

[drnick2]

utorrent 1.6

[thylacine]

Use azureus 2.4.02 here, tried a few other clients (utorrent being the last 1) and i keep coming back to azureus because i like the features it has. Its not a problem running it if you have a decent amount of ram (768MB in my system)

[gondalguru]

bitcomet

[Pr1nc3]

µTorrent. The smallest, the fastest, the best.
Your choice when you are on Windooz.

On open source OS? Than your choice must be Azureus!

[deuce6000]

I use utorrent but which of you guys use the new azereus(2.5.0.0)and how is it?

[yinlia]

I use uTorrent 1.6

[sceilig]

Using Bitcomet after trying Bittorrent and Azureus. Was looking for the least resource intensive app while still having the features I need and Bitcomet for now seems to be that.

[Jab]

uTorrent is my current favorite

[guille03]

uTorrent 1.6

[slickick]

Utorrent Rocks!

[newsoulhk]

i like to use utorrent because it use less memory^^

[mickal555]

I use azureus, hard to say, uses alota reasorces, but worth it.

[david999]

µtorrent little CPU fast full featured and uses way less resources than bit comet I have tried most and these two seem to be fastest on my system which is behind a LAN both are easy to use

[Dr_MH]

I Use BitComet

[99dimes]

uTorrent
I used to use azureus and bitcomet, but uT is just as fast and uses very little resources

[DiMCa]

I tried bittorrent oficial, bittornado, bitcomet, azureus, bitcomet again =) Now i'm with utorrent, think it's best (nothing unnecessary, unlike azureus ;) ).

[DSLFreak]

utorrent because of it's small footprint. :D

[Quike]

Emm Sometimes Utorrent And SometimesBitTornado

[Schism]

µTorrent.

[Invites_4_You]

I used Bit Tornado until earlier today. Just switched to UTorrent and I love it.

[omd]

uTorrent on my PC
azureus on my MAC

[estranged]

There's no KTorrent in poll list :(
A lovely KDE client for Linux...

[almighty1]

Azureus 2.5 the best

[MidnightRacer]

I too use Azureus 2.5 and love it.

[sun_star]

utorrent 1.6

[fled]

Azureus of course...

[stanford]

bitcomet is banned at some sites because of it DHT function.
some sites can not record the amount of data that bitcomet uploads or downloads.

[nihility]

I wasn't surprised by the stats.
azureus rules =]

[lysine]

I think if this thread was closed, and a new poll was started, utorrent might be taking the lead. this thread was started in feb. 2005, long before utorrent was around, and includes a year and a half of voting. not really a current, or accurate picture of client usage.

I would predict the results to look like this: utorrent, azureus, bitcomet

[nihility]

yeah true,
it would be interesting to see if the new clients are the most popular now, or if people are sticking with the old trustworthy ones

[stanford]

Bitcomet 0.68 is not bad. Utorrent is also good and it does not consume a large amount of physical memory.

[gilad4321]

recently utorrent is quiet slow for me
i thing i'll get Azureus instead

[ripnix]

i used Azureus, but it was consuming many resurses and was slow because its on java ... bleah
µTorrent is the best, its light, slim... i love it, its how a torrent client should be

[otaviorem]

utorrent and lvllord patch =)

[wepeel]

I used BitTorrent at first, but once I got on with OiNK, I started using Azureus because it's a good way to keep track of the individual ratios.

[graemek]

I've been using azureus lately, i think it is good also. I like the fact that all downloads are in the one window, not like bittornado where you have to open a new window for every dl not that there is anything wrong with bittornado it is a good program also

[orsayag]

I think Bitcomet is the best I download there in the highest speed

[darknewday]

uTorrent 'cause Azureus has way too many configuration options for me, uTorrent is more simplistic
i also get better speeds with uTorrent than with Azureus (dunno why, probably my own fault)
AND uTorrent has Tetris!

[rquinlan]

I like utorrent the best

[NeedHelp]

utorrent, because it Azureus slows down my computer alot, and i use my pc for alot of things at the same time. So thats why utorrent owns. Well for now, untill a better bittorrent client comes up.

[auh_anniyan]

bitcomet is the best one.

[Blush]

Azureus works best for me.

[kinjo]

tried using azureus but was resource hog....then tried utorrent felt it was slow so finally ended up with bitcomet.simple,easy and fast :unsure:

[firehawk.il]

bitcomet is the one i use, super userfrendly

[0ctane]

Utorrent because it uses less resources :)

[karseet]

Azureus: the greatest client every made. So many features, I love it!

[mcescher]

Azureus....only client I'll ever use.

[hbeezer]

Azureus... with country locater and SafePeer plugins

[leroydavies]

u torrent, simply becuase it uses less cpu!

[neuwelt]

Micro Torrent - Light Weight And Full Functionality
http://www.utorrent.com/

[xgt]

i used to have azureus, until it started to give me some problems, when minimized it dissapeared after like five minutes :ermm: so i gave uTorrent i try and loved it! Almost same features has azureus but uses much less cpu, so for me, its even better.

[manofstyle]

I voted for and used to use Azureus but had problems with it seeding on private trackers. I have now switched to uTorrent and have had much better success with it. For some reason incoming connections work a lot better now.

[muellermilch]

I use µtorrent cause it's the best client in the world. Earlier I used Azureus, but it's using too much resources compared to µtorrent by having the same features

[XceLi]

µTorrent is the only way to go for me.

[niftypat]

i use azureus, but i'm getting tired of it sucking up my resources

i think i'm going to try utorrent, i've heard excellent things...

either way, i still get my torrents!

[chinojam]

I use azureus, with PeerGuardian 2.
To me its the better torrent client to use, and i tried most of them.....make sure you have encryption enabled also.....;) If not PG2 the i think safepeer plugin for azureus......

[Shadowfire]

I use uTorrent. I had used Azureus since I started using torrents, but I've found the uTorrent is overall faster.

[jamesiscool]

i loved utorrent but now i have a mac and use tomato torrent. Id like to find something more like utorrent

[nodzv]

utorrent is the best, i dont understand how can ppl use azureus, its on java, it runs very slow... for me at least ... hmmm
and bitcomet is just a noNO
for me at least

[tdoar]

worked with ABC, Azureus and Bitcommet

Utorrent kicks all of their asses!

[Tmaster]

utorrent

[cjcw_06]

Azureus works best for me. While it is a bit heavy on memory usage, the features make it worthwhile.

[tol9a]

always azureus, viva azureus....:)

[ddiddydizzog]

utorrent is my weapon of choice

[selosel]

U-torrent is the best.

[gustafo]

utorrent. and reason: very obviously - it uses very little system resources

[zultrix]

uTorrent ftw..plus its the best thing since sliced bread =)

[Gagan]

I used to usee bitcomet but it starting to piss me off now, using azurus now

[desdes]

uTorrent 1.5, simple, light and effective

[razel]

uTorrent 1.5, simple, light and effective



that's my opinion 2.


I used to use Azureus but i find utorrent much more efficiente and light.

Never had a problem.

[Suphix]

Azureus works best for me. While it is a bit heavy on memory usage, the features make it worthwhile.

What Features do you REALLY need that are not in uTorrent? its got it all!

again... uTorrent FTW

[MeShUgG4H]

u torrent! first i started with others client but i didnt like them very much, so i tried u-t, its lighter and faster

[Tmaster]

utorrent

[poltergeist]

Even though my favourite is BitComet, i had to switch to utorrent a few months ago because BC is banned on a lot of sites.

[audiofil]

BitSpirit v3.2.1 use max of my dl and up and its great.

[affemannen]

Azureus and it's nice

[stylerico]

I have only used one Azureus. It works fine for me. Can someone tell me ...Are the interfaces that much different?

[Doida]

uTorrent and Azureus are the best imo. Still, uTorrent is much more lightweight, thus is better.

[Kruger]

I use uTorrent, I started with Azureus, but about a year ago changed to uTorrent, I also tried bitcomet, but somehow didn't like it.

[PsychoStar]

uTorrent all the way

[chewbs]

The only one I knew about was tornado. looks like i have some homework to do. lol.

if anybody has any comments, please let me know.

thanx

[the-matthewmcg]

bittorrents well naff anyways hardly ever use it

[itanic]

Azureus, because of it's cross-platform support (runs on FreeBSD), and for its features.

[tcas]

uTorrent because it's not banned a lot like other clients and it runs well on my laptop.

[hotchilipepper]

i don't understand one thing about uTorrent. when u start it up with windows, u have to reconnect uTorrent, cuz some trackers are saying u're not connectable..

don't understand that.. but when u restart uTorrent the problem is solved.

[powerwolf]

uTorrent all the way

[bvxxx]

hi guys = whats the best torrent client around. i've tried with bit comet, lime wire but i'd guess my vote goes to azureus. any thoughts?

cheers
bvxxx

[lascard]

well azureus from the begiining

one tine i try bitornado but azureus work very well
hu who shout i/o error write failed delayed ;)

[EmpozX]

Just found out that I hadn't voted for µTorrent yet :O
Now it's fixed

[wesedlup]

µTorrent, Of course.. It's clearly the best and easiest and it uses little RAM..

[guille03]

utorrent

[avokado]

BitSpirit

[Guilleggb]

Azureus rulz

[janine]

utorrent has been the one for me since i got sick and tired of azureus hogging all the system resources. also it always has some strange bugs in every version. utorrent on the other hand has the smallest memory footprint, and the most advanced functions. New stuff in the latest version is excellent: Onthefly categories (very good interface programming) and more. I also love the timecontrol feature, u can set upload and download limits for every single hour of the day (for ex. if you are on a work computer! or full speed at night!)

No turning back from utorrent.com for me :) :)

[wsdlp]

µTorrent ofc

[Tbag]

mostly utorrent. from time to time bitcomet

[ggesd]

i use µTorrent

[YoMaN]

use usually µTorrent and some times abc.

[wisky]

µTorrent for me, aint used anything else in ages.

[kavalchuk17]

i would use azereus, and i really want to, but my firewall gives me problems with UDP. so i use utorrent and ive never had a problem

[DV8type]

utorrent - flux/tornado

[bm1]

Azureus though uTorrent sounds OK, might try that.

[RainRoofer]

µTorrent all the time, even if I have Azureus installed also.

[defknight]

Always BitTornado

[porscha]

utorrent cause most site where banning bittorando and azureus and others this summer so it was easier to switch to the one they allowed. And now i find it superb as it takes less cup power, and easy to configure.

thank you

[Iceblade]

i think utorrent is the best ive used

[Pac]

utorrent 4 life

[ck_psu08]

utorrent! why so many still use azureus??

[ck_psu08]

must be ignorance...

[Glitched]

Utorrent keeps my cpu running fast:D

[lightsabers]

I have tried many torrent clients, but settled for Azureus, mainly because at the time i discovered it, it was the only one that had the partial download option implemented right. So it kinda grew on me + it looks nice.

[ejile]

I would have to say azureus

[ToxicBear]

uTorrent, incredibly light, but yet powerful!

[Jammie2k7]

utorrent ofcourse! lol

[bunny67]

utorrent for me

[ridetherock]

ive tried just about all of them, and bitcomet is the one ive been sticking with for a while now.

[macosbrain]

azureus rocks :-)

[d4rkpri35t]

utorrent all the way.. i used azureus for about... a year and half or so... but just recently tried utorrent... the best in my opinion as far as resources go :D

[unrealized]

uTorrent works the best for me.. least cpu usage + most configuration options and settings, imo its the best client out there

[Recoba]

iam using utorrent 1.6

it is a great programe it takes all the speed

u torrent is the best

[Fulanito]

Utorrent = High 5! what else?

[tbl]

Azureus. I switched from Bitcomet when I got a new router (went from cable to dsl) because it gave me info about my firewall status.

[1234bzy]

bitcomet 0.70

[Nestirt]

uTorrent. I siwtched from Azureus about 1 year ago.. and I dont regret it

[ihlamur]

bitcomet forever

[frogboy2727]

I use uTorrent for my Windows machine. I use Transmission for my Mac iBook. Both work very well, in their respective environments.

[mxfrost]

Recently switched from ABC to uTorrent, very pleased with it so far :D

[mnogosnega]

Bitcomet real

[Diabl0x]

I use µTorrent, because it's the one that has given me the best results in every aspect, including memory usage ;)

[shikotee]

I was a big fan of BitComet, but then joined some trackers that would not allow me to use it. Made the switch to Azureus, which is what I use now. Seems to be OK, but am looking into making the switch to Utorrent, as I would definately like to try something that is less CPU intensive.

[gamer4eva]

I was a big fan of BitComet, but then joined some trackers that would not allow me to use it. Made the switch to Azureus, which is what I use now. Seems to be OK, but am looking into making the switch to Utorrent, as I would definately like to try something that is less CPU intensive.

uTorrent rocks!!! No doubt about that.:naughty:

[ToothFairy]

BitComet and uTorrent.

[Eagle784]

utorrent's size is unbeatable

[sh0gun]

I used to be a diehard BitTornado fan but recently made the switch over to uTorrent. uTorrent's small footprint, low memory usage, and overall stability is unbeatable. Thus, uTorrent is my first recommendation followed by BitTornado.

[Joschi23]

utorrent is the best

[Vik1ng]

Have used most of them but I think utorrent is the best. By far my favorite atm.

[xboxgod123]

Azureus!! is the way forward people

[h4mm44d]

I have tried many clients, but µTorrent is the one I use

[jedidude]

utorrent, because it use less ram and seem to download faster tan other client.

[jawy]

BitTornado now and forever!!!

[rocky1234]

Utorrent is best !!!

[astarow]

how can a client download faster than others ??? :p does any client come with a new connection or something ? the only differences between clients are: 1. memory usage 2. cpu usage (ths are very important and become crytical when you download and seed lot's of torrents) 3. extra functions or plugins (not so important in my opinion) 4. trackers where the client is banned

considering those i am using azureus right now, but i could switch to utorrent very easy. both azureus and u are very stable and use a decent ammount of memory and the last versions are not banned on any tracekr (on any trackers that's important at least)

[grsajit]

bitcomet liked it very much but according to this theread bittornado is good tooo. so tryin it right now

[parking_jedi]

started with tornado, moved to ABC - ditched it because it was too slow, changed to Azureus but it kept crashing after about a year of solid service, changed to utorrent and now that does the job. I do like the extras that come with azureus.
Most private trackers i use have banned most things azureus and utorrent are pretty much all universally accepted.

[dshads]

utorrent works best for me, low on resources and killer speeds

[Hugge]

whent from Azureus to µTorrent one year ago

[peroduarocks]

Due to the crappiness of my router I am only able to use clients which give the option to specify a port range. Currently G3 Torrent is the best of that bunch.

[hooker]

µtorrent

[DontCare]

Is this really necessary? Everyone knows that the client to rule them all is clearly Azureus....although at one time...I was 100% certain it was Burst..

[claudandus]

lol which noob voted Bitlord Preferrably the worst Client around :/

Based on old Buggy Bitcomet Code and Free spyware included :X

Personally i use AZ tough i would Prefer to use µT because it rocks =^__^=

[stam]

started with bitcomet and after tried to use utorrent it is my choice

[faresalandlos]

µTorrent is the best

[Primosz]

µTorrent

[007™]

nothing beats utorrents
its small application
can do more than other clients
uses little ram

[XF95]

i use µtorrent because its accepted at all major outlets and isnt made from javabeans :)

[1b4dm0f0]

µtorrent 1.6

[Prior]

I've been using uTorrent for around a year now and am very happy with it. Huge upgrade over bitcomet.

[kiosk]

switched from Azureus a long time back and now use µtorrent with encryption turned on.

[gamer4eva]

I hear this bittyrant it mean't to be a good app.

[moffat63]

Azureus for mac

[fred861]

last i heard bitlord had spyware in it

[fedje]

qtorrent is the best , have used it for a .................

[sjslall]

utorrent is accepted by practically all trackers

[magimcc]

have used 6 or 7 different trackers had problems or issues with all except utorrent, has never let me down and is apparently accepted by all private trackers.

[SpiderPig]

mu torrent not viable anymore? I heard?

[mestari]

Does there really exist some else client than µTorrent? :D

[Submission]

The new azureus is awesome. They improved memory and cpu usage big time.

[SecureInvitee]

Utorrent Ftw!!!

it would be perfect if it didnt crashed that easy... :(

[TrulySassy]

Azureus and Utorrent

[vipaar]

I use utorrent, it`s small, fast, doesn`t hog system resources and I can run it from my mobi`s flash card when my fone is connected as a mass storage device

[nhahtdh]

I use utorrent, at least it's better than the "traditional" original Bittorrent client

[pjnsmb]

tried a few popular ones but got onto utorrent and now stick with it -its simple to set up and use

[3 Wheels Of Tazio]

Still using utorrent until something better comes along (may take a while) still not happy about the buyout but there's not many good options out there.

[mido]

µTorrent is the best

[albertadj]

I have used numerous clients bittorrent the original, azureus, bitcomet and G3. The one I use now and really like is utorrent. Very smooth and so far little issue with it.

[NYGiants]

utorrent is great .......very simple to use too for the novice

[SalsaMan]

bitcomet... though recently I've heard it has problems with reporting false stats, anyone can verify this?

[fishondee]

utorrent 1.6

[i.dragonfly]

Used to use azureus but it kept crashing. Tried bitcomet for a while, but found uTorrent and have stuck with it ever since. uTorrent has the smallest footprint I believe.

[Hitman86]

the best: utorrent 1.6

[psyholic]

utorrent 1.6 is the best!
