uTorrent vs. Azureus

[lee551]

utorrent does exactly what i want and has all the relevant info displayed right there.

azureus was feeling a little bit bloated and utorrent has been keeping me happy since i switched.

Azureus has plugins. Until uTorrent does it can stay where it is, off my computer

My favourite is Stuffer, which I use to block all clients except uTorrent and Azureus (current and last 2 versions).

i think only allowing those 2 clients is a bad idea
but i do think having the option to ban certain clients is a good idea
or the author writing in some sort of code that when u check a box saying something like "ban leeching/cheating clients", it will ban the clients known to cheat and leech.

µtorrent currently has no banning facilities at all, either for banning clients or peers. the author thinks it would be abused, and be bad for the swarm, and bittorrent in general.

i think it would be a good idea, as it would force the users of these clients to get a better client, as they wouldnt be able to connect to anyone. or the authors of these clients would fix their crap, and make it fairer.

utorrent by a mile, so lite and easy.

Yup, definitely uTorrent for me. The best client available!

I just switched to uTorrent from Azureus recently because of uT's small size but notice that I been getting more Event ID 4226 errors in XP. This anything to do with uTorrent or is it just me?

I prefer utorrent when im downloading torrents but use Azureus when I upload. I can kick and ban users who aren't sharing and I use the stuffer plugin to auto kick users with bad clients.

No-one with BitComet, Bitlord etc can connect to me.

I've never used Azareus but uTorrent does everything that I want it to do.

uTorrent is best choice for users with slow-PC it use less than 2MB, so I can play quake and download movies
