Azureus take a lot of rescue , utorrent is the best
the Which bittorrent client do you use? poll still leans heavily towards azureus. however, it started back in feb 2005, and i think utorrent has come a very long way in that time. then i look at seeds/peers im connected to, on average its about 60/40 to utorrent, and moving more and more towards utorrent all the time.
i think if that poll was restarted then utorrent would win by a mile.
and so it should!
Utorrent kick ass!!:w00t:
love utorrent
simply: the best
what about bittornado ???
Just changed from Azureus to utorrent to try it out.
Very easy to set up and it works just as well.
Don't know if I'm missing something, but I can't see what in ways it's better than Azureus though.
That said, I hadn't bothered with the scheduler in Azureus whereas in utorrent it's integral and very easy to use.:ph34r:
azureus because of flexibility. i also like the freedom to kick off ip's
I found Azureus hasn't quite got the selective downloading right, it loses pieces that overlaps files with "Do not download". And if the torrent has more than a few hundreds of files in it, eventually it will give you "Likely faulty socket selector" error that'll stop your data transfer until you restart Az. It will start up in safe-socket-mode, but it does not resolve the problem, it'll happen again and again.
So if I want to do selective downloading, I go with µTorrent, if I have the luxury to always dl/ul the full torrent, I'd prefer Azureus for it's flexibility.
Azeurus works for me
My fav. is Azureus :)
utorrent...its too simple...
definitely utorrent, it does everything i need it to and doesn't eat resources for breakfast. i started with azureus and while it is a good client it doesn't do anything (for me) that utorrent can't.
to finish: utorrent OWNS azureus
utorrent uses the least amount of memory according to my windows task manager. azureus took way too much
azureus is a pig, hard on cpu and memory. Utorrent rocks
are they still upgrading utorrent?
azureus is open source and more features that utorrent.
those who say azureus is a resource hog or cpu hog - either have a slow computer or do not have azureus setup correctly.
az uses 1 percent of my cpu and 144k of memory.
Azureus has plugins and until uTorrent does the same it will always be inferior. Stuffer for blocking bad clients is my favourite but there are dozens that I use.
As for resource hog, I have no issues running on a P2 550 with 768mb ram (just a shitbox I made out of spare parts).
For features you can't beat Azureus.
utorrent
i have used azureus,bitcomet and utorrent.i like both bitcomet and utorrent.they both are equally good.but utorrent is the most lightest torrent client u can find
µTorrent is the sleekest client of them all, Ludde is doing a great job.
So quick to judge. For me, Azureus will take up 100+MBs cause I'm milking it for all it's worth.Quote:

I get a Disc Overloaded 100% notification on the bottom middle section. The FAQ says to change the Advanced settings and I've done that but I still get the disc overload. My question is: What are the best settings when you're downloading/uploading about 50 torrents at a top speed around 150k?
Thanks for any help!
I think we're talking semantics on the Azureus resources; it's the Java thing that officially shows up as hogging memory, so that's what your task manager will reflect. I switched to uTorrent last year, and ain't looked back; admittedly, I don't have too many "advanced" requirements, but damn.
And people who say "a good system should be able to handle . . ." are missing the point IMO. Should ain't got nuthin' to do with it. And practically speaking, if you run Azureus, but also run (an untweaked) Firefox and something like Photoshop, you're maxing out a 512 MB chip, and encroaching on the same on a GB of RAM. That's unacceptable.
Photoshop earns its monopolization of resources; Azureus (per Java) does not.
I tried Bitcomet, Azu, uTorrent, ABC, BitTornado etc,and currently I'm using and sticking to uTorrent. Its light and easy to use. Does the job well, as well as having protocol encryption :)
Kinson.
I have tried bitcomet, azureus, bittornado, but I like utorrent most because of its features and it takes very little resources
Utorrent=hardly any resources=protocol encryption which=utorrent owns azureus.
Started out with BC, loved it until everyone banned it, switched to Azureus, wasn't really impressed. Finally gave utorrent a try and its definitely given me hours of enjoyment.
I'm currently an Azureus user, but all this talk of uTorrent really has me thinking of giving it a try. Thanks for all the discussion!

god 50 torrents at a time i find it hard to find 5 things that i want to download, no wonder yr comp is slow, all i can say is try downloading less at a time if yr only 150k download speed 5 to 7 will do mate that should max it out :)
Azureus never had a problem with it 1-2% cpu usage and 20-60 mbs of memory is not that bad....
I liked utorrent when I was a noob that didnt know how to do advanced stuff that azureus allows you to do
IMHO
utorrent for people who are new to bittorrent
Azureus for those who are more experienced
i prefer utorrent its simple and small
azureus is like a swiss army torrent client but hogs memory especially in a mac :) (use azureus when i'm on my mac) utorrent on the other hand uses less memory and it is noticable when you start opening more applications.
Utorrent :D
i don't get much of this!! but surely can wait to understand all this and get watheva i want...
neva used azureus but from wat i heard its not so good..
i will stick with utorrent for now..(it seems to be eating up all my speed does azureus do the same ???)
Yes they are both good speed wise but if you like things that dont use much resources then i would stick with Utorrent.Also make sure you got to options,preferences,network and enable protocol encryption it will help you out and help out the whole community as well.
problem with utorrent is : sometimes the queue got lost somehow, so i have to start queueing the torrent file again
Utoreent is the best.
ive tried both and like utorrent alot more
i've been using azureus for 2 years when utorrent came along...
my first thoughts: why did it take so long for such a fine client to show up.
i was thinking azureus was the best out there, but no, its not even in the same league as utorrent.
first of all, gosh... 20-30% of cpu constantly? wtf? who really needs java?
okay, its got alot of features and stuff, but bear in mind that this is a "passive" program, ppl use the pc while running az, and have no need for their ressources to be wasted in java.
utorrent is slim, really fast file rechecking, no java therefore no ressource burden, and does an overall nice job. i admit, it's not perfect and lacks some of the features azureus has, but it's much newer than az and already extremely popular.
my 2cents
uTorrent FTW!!!:D
utorrent all the way
