Which bittorrent client do you use?

[{I}{K}{E}]

Please don't post replies like:

'I use Azureus' or just 'BitTornado'.

We can see what you use if you vote in the poll.

[Vargas]

eXeem, Azureus or Limewire 666 depending on the situation

[vampiro]

Azureus all the way

[oscarxp]

Bittornado is the best. check it out for latest version it rocks
http://bittornado.com/

[sArA]

Azureus....used to use bittornado but it started to piss me off one day, changed to az and used it ever since.

[zeustke165]

Bitcomet, its fast, small memory footprint, lots of features, and hasn't been banned at my private trackers, Azureus 2.2.0.0 has been banned due to hacked versions showing up that will report anything to the tracker you want, and 2.2.0.2 is still accepted but has been having lots of problems updating properly to trackers, as in people are not getting properly credited with all that they upload... Biggest difference, Bitcomet written in C++ and azureus written in Java(bloated)

[Vargas]

does bitcomit have any ad/spyware?

[monkeyman1]

torrentstorm works for me

[Peerzy]

does bitcomit have any ad/spyware?


No, none. Its the best, all the features of Azureus but using less RAM better features and many other advantages.

[h121589]

Azureus 2.2.0.2

[{I}{K}{E}]

No, none. Its the best, all the features of Azureus but using less RAM better features and many other advantages.

I use Azureus because it connects really fast, within secondes I'm downloading @ +100kb/s. Bittornado took minutes before I got the same speed.

Azureus is being a bitch atm here (2 much memory.)

How's the 'connection time' with bitcomit ?

[Peerzy]

10 Seconds to connect to tracker, another 10 to connect and get 180kb/s. Azureus = Memory Issues, Written in java (thats asking for trouble), poor inbuilt tracker, used with the famous stats hacks.

[RealitY]

Azureus...

[orcutt989]

ABC, which is based of Bit Tornado.

[Formula1]

Bittornado is the best. check it out for latest version it rocks

Yeah, I use BitTornado and it totally rocks :D

[46ghost]

BitComet seems to run best :)

[SuperScript]

Why is eXeem on the list?

Sure, it's a program that uses the BitTorrent protocol, but it's not a BitTorrent client.

[{I}{K}{E}]

Found out it was jre-1_5_0_01 that was using so much memory, I just installed j2re-1_4_2_07 and now it seems to be fine.

Using Azureus again :)

[DarthInsinuate]

I would use BitComet but i'm just too used to Azureus

[lightshow]

I use bittornado. I was going to use Azerous but I downloaded it, and it started freezing up. Then I looked real quick to make the port selection random between 10000-60000 and I couldnt find that option.

That's why I like bittornado I has that feature to choose a random port.

Why you ask? I use my college's connection and if I have lots of activity going on in certain ports like the 6800-6900 or whichever the old default bittorrent ports were, they'd find out and use whatever IT program they use to identify the packets and shut off my ethernet port in my room....

So yeah, I like bittornado.

[ftcnt]

Azureus ....the best :)

[Benno]

Abc

[Cheese]

Bittornado.

Tried Azureus but I'm too used to Bittornado.:similar:

[lynx]

ABC.

I find that Azureus needs too much cpu power. If you are running something like Folding@Home they compete for resources too much.

[{I}{K}{E}]

It's Java that uses so much memory. what version of Java do you haver installed? If you have jre-1_5_0_01 get j2re-1_4_2_07 ;)

[DanB]

Shouldn't this be in poll world?

[Will_518]

No adwware, no spyware. BitComet rocks all the way. It's written in C++, as mentioned by others before, and uses much less memory than all other BT clients i used b4, (i never used azureus though).

Also support a lot of languages, including chinese, actually, it's probably written by a chinese guy.
And it gives you a lot of good torrent sites, most of which unfurtunately have been closed or are very slow due to excesive use.

[zeustke165]

It's Java that uses so much memory. what version of Java do you haver installed? If you have jre-1_5_0_01 get j2re-1_4_2_07 ;)

That's great, to use azureus you should downgrade your java client so your system will work smooth, next maybe I should go back to windows 3.1, just get bitcomet and problem solved...

[-n7-]

Azureus.

/end of thread :P

[ZaZu]

Started with the Shadows Ex (now BitToronado) then switched to ABC haven't found any other I like,so sticking with ABC..

[lynx]

I find that Azureus needs too much cpu power.Almost any java application is naturally processor intensive.

[{I}{K}{E}]

That's great, to use azureus you should downgrade your java client so your system will work smooth, next maybe I should go back to windows 3.1, just get bitcomet and problem solved...

It's not downgrading. the 1.4.2.7 was released just before or just after the 1.5.0.1 update ;)

[Yogi]

Torrentstorm.

Haven't really tried anything else, though i might try BitComet from what i heard here.

Though i don't fancy the transfer of all my torrents..........


yogi

[lynx]

Though i don't fancy the transfer of all my torrents..........No need to do that.

Simply install the new client, but set it to use a different range of ports and set the max upload rate for each client in proportion to the number of torrents on each one. As you remove torrents from the old client you can adjust the upload rate to match.

[simlish]

Preferred Client: Bit Tornado :w00t:

Alternate Client: Bit Comet (Works very well on asian sites!) :D

[punkerz123]

so bittornado or BitComet? which one is better?

[sameer0807]

Azureus all the way! :-)

[rb1235]

Why is eXeem on the list?

Sure, it's a program that uses the BitTorrent protocol, but it's not a BitTorrent client.
that's an interesting observation,
since exeem uses a trackerless proto, could it also handle the regular protocol?

[Yogi]

No need to do that.

Thanks for the tip. ;)

[tesco]

I use azureus. :01:

[lynx]

I've now got the latest version of Azureus, and it isn't cpu intensive like the earlier versions so I've dropped ABC.

And I've edited the poll to match. :01:

[rr_kingozz]

Have only used BitComet,.......no problems.

[dodgy368]

BitTornado is the mutts nuts! :P

[i_will]

Azureus 2.2.0.2

It would be g3 but it doesn't control upload rate properly.

[DanB]

Azureus 2.2.0.2 too

[Formula1]

Azureus 2.2.0.2, started using it about a week ago. way better than bittornado..

[sw33t1]

BitComet
azureus should be banned but then again the spoof client it would be hard to.
to easy to send fake stats and not get caught.

[maebach]

azureus :D

[kazaaman]

Bit comet all the way man, looks gagnsta and the fastest speeds i've ever gotten!

[Aaron_T]

eXeem and Shareaza, never needed anything else.

[erRor67]

Azureus, it just owns all. :lol:

[scottfree]

I use Azureus 2.2.0.0. I haven't upgraded cause i've heard bad things...

[iamtheoneandonlyone]

BitTornado...made simple and clean.

[Voetsek]

BitTornado 3.10 the stable version not the new bugged up one.

[Rip The Jacker]

BitTornado. :01:

[Pulse.v2]

i used to use Azureus, used alot of CPU,

BitComet seems to be the way foward, i strongly recomend

[Stanners]

Bittorrnado

But the lattest one keeps crashing so back to using an older version

[Gre1]

I saw a lot of peeps said Azureus so I tried it and I love it I used to have Bittornado now I have this.

[badanto]

i use bitcomet , bitlord and bittornado !!!

[nabeelisnabeel]

may I know2 that bittorrent uses which newtwork to search?

[hal0]

I use and love Bit Tornado. Have tried others, didnt like any near as much as i do Tornado.

[RealitY]

may I know2 that bittorrent uses which newtwork to search?
Bittorent uses torrent files which are generrally supplied at sites whaich may bethat public or private...

[Jay]

i preffer abc because it gives me decent speeds and a good connect time.

i might switch to Azureus somday because i heard you can download just the files you want out the whole torrent if you want.

[suscept]

azureus

[fuzzer]

bitlord, no spyway that i've noticed

[meteomodel]

TORRENTSTORM! I know, its development has stopped, but i use it for several months now and it's much faster than azureus or shereaza has ever been (at least on my computer; shz and azu i was happy to get 160 kbs-1 , now my average is around 60 kBs-1 so 3 times the speed)

[unclegriff]

I have used azureus forever, am happy with it, and will stay with it - except for exeem's downloader of course.

[sommm]

I used Torrentstorm in the past, but now I'm using Azureus

[redtiger]

After I had some problems with Azureus and CPU usage I changed to BitComet.

[sommm]

After I had some problems with Azureus and CPU usage I changed to BitComet.

that (http://azureus.sourceforge.net/2200/cpu_usage.php) might help (if you want to try Azureus).

[Hawk_187]

I use torrentstorm, my homies all about Azureus. Torrentstorm is the shit, easy to use and on the real it just looks straight. Nice and simple, only gay thing is that when you change the upload speed ya download speed changes automatically.

[Doba]

I've tried a few. Azuerus, ABC, Bittornado........ BitComet was the best fit for me. Does everything I need it to and works flawlessly.

[Skydragon]

bittornado and bit comet. I find those two very easy and simple to use. :)

[jcg1545]

azureus, newest version

[Comrade]

Azureus. Never had any problems.

[DeadDread]

I like useing ABC ....

keeping things nice & simple + handy 4 when i am away will sort out all my torrent files i put in it ( 20-30 ) 4me till i get back home as i can b away 4 a few days .... :)

[micolithe]

Bitcomet for life.

[pandapop]

i use bittornado.. however when im using up alot of my pcs recources i tend to use burst as its the least memory intenive client i've found

[pu43x]

AZ all the way for me. even thought it uses around 120 mb of ram i dont care! got a gig of it so comp runs pretty smooth. and the interface is the best out of the lot of them :)

[hunaja]

I use BitTornado.

[OASVstar]

ABC always and forever :)

[bobcntsa]

bitcomet and bittornado :p

[supernico]

always used bittornado adn because of this post I tried azureus out. I have to be honest. Azureus is way ahead. And no resource hog like everybody claimed. It even uses less resources the bittornado. So I am addicted to azureus and I will give them a small donation for their excellent work.

[Wiz01]

Azureus 2.3.0.2 for me :)

[hugh.jeego]

i use bit lord, which i think is a direct copy of bitcomet cos my mate has bit comet and there identical. anyways, azurus sucks. crappy java!!! bit lord/comet all the way. the only reason azurus is so popular is cos its made by suprnova peeps

[jiimay]

bittornado is the only way to go!

[innerlogic01]

Azureus and bitcomet

[barrymahoney]

I'm very impressed with Bitcomet.

[barrymahoney]

Which one would people recommend specifically for music?

[macrochild]

just discovered azerus, wonderful!

[Rip The Jacker]

Used to use BitTornado, switched to BitComet, and it rocks.

[{I}{K}{E}]

Which one would people recommend specifically for music?

it doesnt matter what you download

[echosak]

well i used to use BT++ but then they slacked off now i use ABC. ABC has come a long way to being behind the curve to now equaly competing for most effective use.

[staing]

why do bittornado suck up so much memory? flawed programming? I had to use memory manager called freeramxp pro to free up the same that it keeps wasting every 10min or so.

[Money Fist]

i use BitCommet over Azuruis
bacause
a) Java sucks
b) BC has intergrated IP filtering

[Akumara]

I believe BitComet owns you all. I've tried using most clients, either too confusing or not enough features. BitComet is easy to use, doesn't use up my computers ram, and has many useful features.

[theceej]

I switch between BitTornado and Azureus, Azureus is just much neater and tidier

[Money Fist]

I switch between BitTornado and Azureus, Azureus is just much neater and tidier
try bitcomet if u havent mate
very tidy

[rzf]

I switched from Azureos to BitComet as I had some java-problems. It occured that it was some kinda rare-problem and I was too lazy to fix it... So I switched to BitComet and it works like a charm :)

[menxmen]

BitTornado is the best!

[submma]

Bitcomet is the best for me. For sites that don´t allow bitcomet I like to use Azureus.

[sharky72]

I use Azureus... Although I'm not realy happy with it... It keeps updating, slowing things down... :(

[powerstick]

I just use a plug in with the Edonkey as of now. I will probably get Bittorrent Anatomic P2P GUI Client 0.1 in a few days when I am off work and try it out. :-) I want some kind of credit based client though so if that one doesn't work out I would have to go with Azureus.

[jamie_mack]

used to use Azeurus until there last release back to Bit Tornado now!

[needatire]

sill goin' with the old school 'bittorrent'

[casla]

i use bitcomet, work fine for me

salute!

[mullet]

i find bitcomet is simple and easy to use

[The Flying Cow]

Azureus latest

[malyo]

At home i use azureus 2.3.0.2 because it has a lot of features. And at work I use ABC. I have a very fast connection there so I use it for unploading and improving my ratio. ABC is easy to install and configure and gives me speeds of up to 2Mbytes/s
I've never used another client.

[Kickbutt424]

Liked Burst, but for some reason it stopped working.

Bitcomet was next, but I hated it

so now I use the latest Azureus and love it

[Chanel]

I use BitComet. I very rarely use Azureus.

[tiduseifer]

Azureus is my powerhouse

[potap3nck]

I used azureus but it got ****** up with the new version so I switched to ABC. I like it but Azureus was way better !!! (should try to fix that problem)

[kazaaman]

Bitcomet always ese.

Does Azureus have built in IP filtering?

And by the way how the hell do you pronounce Azureus? Is it like [Ah-zoo-ray-us] cuz thats what i am saying right now. Just curious.... :)

[Vargas]

ăzh'ər-ŭs

[AOJ]

Azureus is the best.........................No protest

[fsusr]

i like both azureus and bitcomet

[malyo]

Bitcomet always ese.

And by the way how the hell do you pronounce Azureus? Is it like [Ah-zoo-ray-us] cuz thats what i am saying right now. Just curious.... :)

:D that's a good question. I pronounce it as if it was a spanish word i mean i read exactly what i write, but i suppose that the wright pronunciation is a mistery

[Syanide]

ABC rocks :)

[needatire]

just switched to azureus

[~syrup~]

Bitcomet and only Bitcomet. I used Azureus, but I prefer to leech/seed in background, so I need the fastest client. If you have a lot of active torrents for several gigs Azureus will waste to much memory (and memory leaks too), so i switched to Bitcomet.

[ejoeyb]

I use Azureus for how custumizable it is...
I find it the best by far.

[JMK]

Bitcomet by far.. and they just got the update a few days ago. Now you can dl trackerless just like azureus. Azureus is such a resource hog, which is why i changed to bitcomet and I've never gone back.

[dgolso0]

Azureus - Go Froggie.

[alejomar]

I just switched to bitcomet because i have some downloading speed problems with azureus.

[daxianne]

Usually I use ABC, I also like Azureus, but I can't figure out how to seed with it I'm sure I could if I had the patience to sit down and actually check it out, but whatever, ABC works just fine. I do use Azureus when I only want to download part of the torrent.

[Yuccaman]

ABC can also download parts of a torrent....

When the torrent is running, double click it, go to the File Info tab and you can right click on files to choose the priority for downlad (first, normal, never etc)...

From memory, this is in ABC 3 and beyond....

[madden player]

:01: Azureus :01:

IMO the true heavyweight of the BitTorrent clients ...

[hsv5000]

Azureus is by far my preferred client

[mike45450]

I just got the latest ABC and it's awesome, specially with the download allocation with batch files, i used to have to use BitTornado especially for that, but now i don't.

I've been using ABC for ages anyway.

[Dark Steno]

Pardon me but dont you think there are too many unconstructive posts here like saying "Azureus the best for me." or something like that? :huh:

[Money Fist]

Pardon me but dont you think there are too many unconstructive posts here like saying "Azureus the best for me." or something like that? :huh:
yea
at least say
Bitcomet is better because Azureus uses java and java just plain sucks :P

[Twister594]

I don't know about Java, well besides it being a resource hog, but I use Azureus because it only uses one port, can limit download and upload speeds, keeps track of universal ratios, AND that blue frog looks pretty dashing on my laptop.

[madden player]

Pardon me but dont you think there are too many unconstructive posts here like saying "Azureus the best for me." or something like that?


yea
at least say

^^^These post are constructive for a `Which BitTorrent client do you use poll' ?? :rolleyes:

Ok, to make you guys happy, Azureus is my choice for numerous reasons. It's open source, I like all the tweakable options, I like the detail put into the client, I have absolutely no javaw.exe cpu/mem use probs, ...

... & that little blue frog is rather appealing. :cool:

Like I said ... :01: Azureus :01: The heavyweight champ of BitTorrent clients. :boxing:

ohhh .. Did I mention Azureus was open source =P

:snooty:

[Poenos]

Azureus the best..... :rolleyes:

Latest Release 2.3.0.2 :D

download : http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

[daxianne]

ABC can also download parts of a torrent....

When the torrent is running, double click it, go to the File Info tab and you can right click on files to choose the priority for downlad (first, normal, never etc)...

Awesome! Thanks for the info! :D

[Bodom]

i'm glad i jumped on here, because bitcomet has made my life a lot easier. I just usd an old client for over a year w/out thinking much about it. I really may check out auz, but I don't like the whole JAVA thing..it sucks up resource.

[kazaaman]

Why dont some sites allow BitComet?

[daxianne]

On BitComet, I found this posted on another forum: http://slyck.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9923


Quote:
BitComet was banned from KickAssAnime because of the following reason:

"ok here is exactly why. BitComet reports false data to the tracker and to other peers. it reports that it is sending out way more data to peers than it actually is. so by banning it, and forcing the leechers to use clients that dont cheat, we get a healthier torrent. because (not sure if everyone knows) a healthy torrent works on the rewards system most of the time. meaning its like "ok ill send you a piece of this torrent, then you tell me when you sent it to someone else, and ill send you another." Bitcomet, as soon as it recieves a piece, weither it sends or not, reports back to the client that it recieved it from that it sent it to another peer. by removing the leechy client by nature, the torrent gets healthier, and the people who use real clients, and try to go 1:1 on the torrents get the complete torrent faster. once again if you want to complain to me about the decision to ban bitcomet, email me @ [removed email address] i would be happy to rant back."

So users of BitComet are all leachers, or is there a setting that can be turned off?

[fragbaitmm]

I use MLdonkey at http://mldonkey.berlios.de/

"MLdonkey is a powerful P2P application for accessing the Edonkey2000 network as well as a few others like FastTrack, Bittorrent and Gnutella2.
The opensource MLdonkey p2p client is mainly being developed for Linux/Unix, but is also compiled and running on Windows and even MacOS X."

MLdonkey can be controlled from a GUI, browser interface or the commandline.

Most of the GUI interface is for the Edonkey2000 network but bittorrent commands to start using a torrent file etc can be entered in the MLdonkey browser interface.

I can access MLdonkey from my browser at work to review download/upload status, kick off new downloads etc.

It works well for me.

[Abel6376]

I´m using Bitcomet.

I´ll try MLdonkey.
We´ll see

I don't think that's what was meant to be implied....but the data it reports is inacurate, which I think is the bottom line as to why bitcomet is often banned.

[dantepedante]

Currently I'm using Bitlord; but I'm thinking about moving to Azureus.

I am an Azureus user myself. I found that info interesting :blink:

[Mr. Mulder]

I used to use Azureus only, but it's been fux0rd lately for some unknown reason and I've switched to BitTornado. Does the job fine :)

[bengalsdorf]

I use Azureus :D

[adhdownload]

Yet you forgot the best of them all. ..................... bitlord :cry: :P

[ccs_dante]

azureus

I used bitcomet but i dont now it never works with me

[PapiTuno]

Azureus all the way baby - with modified jars!!

[matt526]

Can I change my vote? :shifty:
I voted for Azureus but lately it SuX :sick: :angry: :sick: :angry:

[Heineken77]

shadow's experimental client. never had any problems :)

[Heineken77]

Azureus all the way baby - with modified jars!!

tried azureus, but didn't like it :(

[leciak]

used azureus for 2 years, but it took to much cpu and mem so i've changed to bitspirit

[vegeta]

bittornado goes on fine with my torrents dls :P

[alejomar]

Bitcomet 0.56 works fine for me :)

[Leeson]

Bitcomet 0.57 works great, uses little mem, & its fast with loads of features

I tried Azureus, but it took up more mem & I am too used to Bitcomet, though I still use DC++ from time to time for the things I cant find on any trackers

[phaelox]

BitComet 0.59, as it now respects 'private' key in torrents (and as such is not banned anymore, anywhere TMK) and is much lighter on my resources than previous versions, or any javabloat clients (love the C++). ;-)

[- Nightmare -]

Mainly Azureus at the moment. Though I tend to use Bitcomet when I'm running other programs (Azureus tends to slow down stuff really slow).

[Johnnie T]

Switched from Azureus to BitLord due to the excessive CPU use of java. From what I've read above, gonna try BitCommet...
Strange that BitLord isn't on the list of clients for the poll

[brotherdoobie]

ABC...

Peace bd

[phaelox]

Switched from Azureus to BitLord due to the excessive CPU use of java. From what I've read above, gonna try BitCommet...
Strange that BitLord isn't on the list of clients for the pollFrom what I've been reading here and there BitLord contains spyware, whereas BitComet doesn't. In any case, BitComet was first, BitLord is a rip-off that uses BitComet code and then adds their own links and whatnot.

Check screenshots on their site. It's the same app, except bloated and advertised everywhere. :frusty:

[Hanz™]

Bitcomet is the best for now, and I used to use Azureus - but it started crashing on me ever since the new version - and getting 100% CPU usage.

[ddesjarl]

I use Azureus 2.3.0.2 .... does everything I need. :)

[tensegg]

BitComet, tried all of em, and I find it the best, and original BT of course.

[Dredpirate]

Azureus, just buy more RAM. You know ya want to anyway.

[brouhaha]

yet abc

[Floorfiller]

bitcomet 0.58+ patch works fine for me ;)

[coolbeans42]

Bittornado all the way!

[BunnyBoiler]

I am using Azureus 2.3.0.0 - 2.3.0.4 has cpu upto 80%!!! has anyone heard of bits on wheels?! its for the mac - looks quite good...

[fadedrocks]

g3 torrent works the best for me. when i had azureous somehow i got a javascript virus or attack or somehting messed up my comp... so now i'm scared to use it, lol

[horia]

g3 torrent works the best for me. when i had azureous somehow i got a javascript virus or attack or somehting messed up my comp... so now i'm scared to use it, lol
get an antivirus..:P.. something like kaspersky... a firewall and a ad clener won't hurt either
I personally use azureus cause it has tons of things in it :cool2:

[xwingz76]

I use BitComet.
I have tried a great deal of other clients and I found that bitcomet works best for me :)

[noone976]

I use bitcomet as well. Tried a bunch of clients but comet seems to be the nicest layout, easier use, and works consistently.

[Geekless]

I just have to say that my favourite BT client is bitcomet (btw DC++ is my favourite directconnect client).

[armorer]

I use Azureus, and wait for a little while before applying any upgrades until it generally looks stable.

[{I}{K}{E}]

Please don't post replies like:

'I use Azureus' or just 'BitTornado'.

We can see what you use if you vote in the poll.

[falconman515]

I use BitTornado all the way used it since day one, the others have to much dumb crap in em' bittornado is so easy and simplified and uses less resources, no java, and faster speeds in my opinion!!!

[GepperRankins]

i used to use torrentstorm but the upload limit just didn't work so i'd often find it uploading at the maximum possible 30KBps, meaning i couldn't download or use the internet for anything else as upload effects download on my adsl.

i now use azureus, the limits work better but even though i have a gig of RAM, azureus doesn't think there's enough room to run a game at the same time :dry:

[testos]

bitcomet is easyer and better in my opinion.
u need just to set up the connections correctly. and get a good port and set your upload limit not too high, and you will get good speeds.
my connection 2MBiT (260kbps) and with torrents i get every time a minimum of 100kbps :D that means my downloads are fast... with azureus, i had problems, needed java, alot of ram and patience. bitcomet is the sweetest client ever!

[oscarxp]

What ports are you using

[Eclectic_Loner]

What's wrong with azureus' latest version? I'm new to using these clients.

How do I use the advanced features of azureus? What are they? Other than changing the ports by adding "1" (based on the guide in this forum on how to speed up BT) there doesn't seem to be any advanced feature but then again I have no idea about these things usually

Yeah, be ashamed, rossco, be very ashamed.


I'm using Azureus, Bittornado has never worked properly on this machine.

Anyhow, I prefer azureus 'cos it gives me more control, it seems like, tho' it screwed up my OS once, on a very hot day when I had lots and lots of torrents running at the same time. NB overheat from all the transfers, I think.

[RPerry]

Azureus :01:

I actually first started using bitcomet, but couldn't be " connectable" everywhere. I used the same port I'm using for Azureus now, so I give away a little ram for being connectable everywhere :)


your welcome Ike :P

[RealitY]

Azureus :01:
Dont tell me you just now saw this post.
Shame Shame and oh ya...

Azureus!!!!

[Busyman]

Azureus is a huge resource hog but it gets the job done and has an excellent interface.

[defconx]

bitcomet... because... it;'s the only one that i like... hehehhee

Don't feel too bad, I did the same thing and got PM'ed by a mod :dry:




:lol:

[awsome_o]

i agree, azureus is heavy load on my pc but its well worth it for its easy to use and understand interface

[Waquert]

BitComet is the best for me

[riggits]

BitComet has some issues when Windows runs out of virtual memory :( other than that, it's perfect! Azureus is still too slow...

[lilrbbt]

I find that BitComet is the easiest and most user friendly, much better than those others

[banquo]

Azereus, but it sure gobbles up the memory. Might try BitComet after reading this thread.

[Share Guy]

Bitcomet for the interface

[krillelill]

used bittornado a long time before switching to bitcomet, i still get the best speeds with bittornado, but the upload rate is much better in bitcomet, a big plus if you are a member on ratio based sites

[LaMaOne]

Azureus all the way!

Pitty the memory usage though... damn java

[danshe]

I keep changing. For some reason a program will work great for a while and then stop accessing. Currently I'm using bitcomet.

[geewhizz]

BitComet is soooo much faster than Azureus; I dont know why Azureus has so many votes; It sucks!!!!!!!

[wit_]

I use the original BitTorrent.

Are there many differencies between the clients, spy/adware etc..?

[sArA]

None of the clients I have used have any spyware (bittornado, azureus, abc..etc) They basicallly have more functions and are easier to track your torrents than the basic bittorrent.

I suggest you give one a try and you might find your whole user experience will be enhanced. :)

[wit_]

I actually just swithced to BitTornado yesterday...
Have to give it a try. :)

[dinner123]

I used to use ABC but as of yesterday im an Azureus user. ABC seems to mess up when downloading something in a large swarm, wheras Azureus is going ok so far.

[Mihkel]

abc, coz i chose it when i first tarted downloading via bittorrent ani i stuck with it

[shitty]

ABC...Azareus sucks up to many system resources since it's Java based, and BitComet is loaded with spyware and adware.

Shit

[takoshi]

Azureus crashes my computer for some reason...randomly. So ABC all the way baby!

[Rip The Jacker]

ABC...Azareus sucks up to many system resources since it's Java based, and BitComet is loaded with spyware and adware.

Shit
I thought BitComet was spyware free...

BitComet is spyware free :huh:

[CifrOoZ]

I use BitLord, but I can`t see it on your list, there`s no option for other;]

added BitLord to the POLL ;)

[IceKing]

I like Bittornado because it doesnt slow down my computer much and I'm yet to try BitComet. Azureus's javaw.exe had major cpu usage so i stopped using it.

[oxygenuk]

king azureus for me, i love the irc feature of it too

[phrax]

Azureus all the way :D Pimp it out with plugins and it can't be beaten.

[Yu_The_Great]

Azureus

[cecofuli]

Azureus for my and a bitcomet

[n18]

I was using BitComet and loved it, but it began to cause my PC to freeze, so i went back to the good ole' BitTornado

[borris]

Azureus 2.3.04 all the way, have tried bitlord, bittorrent orignal but azureus is the best for its features.

[Alien5]

Yet ABC has a lot of features and i havent had any problems with it

[oscarxp]

Please add this new Bittorent client.

MooPolice


http://www.moopolice.de/

TESTED THIS NEW APP AND WORKS LIKE A CHARM I HAVE BEEN USING IT AND HAS NO PROB PLUS IT USES LITTLE RESOURCES.

[eskayes]

Ziptorrent! Its fast and user friendly.

[oscarxp]

sorry to disapoint you but this is no competition if you dont like the client then its up to you but i was just recommending it due that is a great client. i prefer it than most of the clients available. Test it before you comment

[ScottG]

BitComet definatly does not have spyware!! I honestly dont know where people got that from! I've had it for a while now and its the best BT client i've ever used! Fast and reliable! And it doesnt suck memory at all! The downside of course with all BitTorrent clients is the fact that it slows down your browsing and what not. Unless you have a NetLimiter.

[Immiguel]

I use Sharaza now, but after checking through these posts I'm thinking of hooking up with Azureus.
..because that's how I roll.

[Alien5]

im not using ABC anymore, it keeps freezing, using bit comet now :lol: again

[cossy]

i use bittornado 3.10 im not keen on the new version

[lazyme]

Am using BitComet0.59...works great for me

[Skorpio81]

I use Bitcomet, it's great cause i can seed more than 10 files without lagging

<3 Bitcomet

[markcope]

Azureus is my preference, after trying a few. The interface is nice and the added features are very usefull.

[testos]

Utorrent :)
www.utorrent.com

[twisterX]

bittornado is the easiest becuase you dont have many things to configure. Just easy sailing

[Formula1]

Bitcomet now. Azureus sucks, their latest version doesnt work for me...

[polar26]

I`m with Utorrent also , Definitly has potential and extremly low on resources. Any Chance of adding it to the poll

[mrbluesman]

Azureus with the remote control plugin, awesome, can upload torrents and start them downloading to my pc at home from anywhere

[goajappixbox]

Azureus works best for me, i also tried out bittornade bitcomet and shareaza. in azureus i find it easy to adjust your configuration. i miss that on other bittorrent clients

[phunk]

Has to be azureus .. bt clients have come a long way since the early days

[fenir]

I use Azureus 2.3.0.4 - best client for me

[shorty427]

azureus 2.3.0.4 duhhhhhh

[twisterX]

Bittornado works easiest. Azuresz may have a better GUI but bittornado is a 10 on easy and thats what i like

[jeffie]

latest Azureus (2.3.0.4)...sometimes I run BitComet

[aniltec]

To download I use Bit Tornado ... To upload I use Azureus

[orcutt989]

I have changed to Bit Comet for the past month, and my what a breath of fresh air!

[Unleashed]

Bittornado. Have tried various others, but have had problems with ports from all of them.

[bunsen]

Azureus has worked great for me.

[Rakaa]

I used bit comet for ages but then started downloading from torrent-damage who banned it so i now use bitlord. To be honest apart from a few colours and icons it seems exactly the same, fast and reliable :)

[Gripper]

Bitcomet 0.60,tried one called utorrent but not sure about it,so i'll stick with bitcomet for now

[cossy]

i have tried a few but i find bit tornado the best for me

[allgoodh]

was using azureus, but my internet connection would drop out totally after about an hour of use.
switched to bit tornado and not had the problem since.

[artot]

u torrent but its not on the list

[rb1235]

has anyone tried the latest utorrent bt client?

[silent h3ro]

Azureus for sure. :)
