Hmmm I wonder which is better ;)

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
