1. eye strain? :blink:
2. that one's true. Complaints have been posted on the uTorrent forums about how to program doesn't ban clients known to be abusive (mostly Chinese ones), but the developers have refused to discriminate peers by that criteria.
3. if you create a dummy file called settings.dat in the same directory as the executable, uTorrent will store its preferences, the resume file and .torrent files there, therefore making it fully portable. I've done this to be able to leech when I wasn't at home, so I know it can be done. :)

Re: which is the best torrent downloader
There is no best , there is only best for you . U try them and you choose the best on that suit for you .
I prefer utorrent on xp , rtorrent on linux because of the small footprint on system resources

I like BitTorrent. Very simple and quite reliable. I am using this for last couple of years now and love it.

Since utorrent is a single executable file requiring no other dependencies, it is extremely simple to run in an virtual environment on any other platform i.e. using Wine or CXO under Linux and Parallels under MacOS if you wish, once again the amount of system resources used (even within a virtualbox ) is nominal.

There is a Linux version. Apparently, it's command-line only, but you can control it using the WebUI.

Re: which is the best torrent downloader
uTorrent in wine works well. I didn't like compiling my old KDE client and as I joined more trackers I found uTorrent was white listed the most.

Re: which is the best torrent downloader
I've been using Vuze (azuras) for the longest time, but I think its time for me to find a tut for utorrent and finally switch over. I've never been all that happy with vuze.

You hardly need a tutorial to use uTorrent. The speed guide automatically configures your connection settings based on the results of a speed test. Most of the other ones are self-explanatory, and the rest is very well-documented by the manual.

Re: which is the best torrent downloader
uTorrent used to be good but now they're taking a turn for the worst so Transmission is now the best torrent client in my opinion.

Why do you have to upgrade for? The old, nonpaid versions work fine. And just as efficient.

It still is good. Old versions won't die out anytime soon.

Why?
Because they can, obviously. I personally wouldn't use the "plus" version even if it was freely available. No sense in having extra features I won't use.
