utorrent is the best
utorrent is the best
dunno if all the ppl in here saying: "utorrent is the best" are really running utorrent on a low spec box with 1.3ghz cpu and 256mb ram...
for me: rtorrent without any doubt
Hmm... Isn't Rtorrent for linux ?
There is no way to know which is better when the softwares are for different OS's ...
does anyone even bother to read the original post in a thread?
edit: try them both and see which one you prefer. I used rtorrent for a while, but ended up going back to utorrent w/ webui. speeds and performance were the same on both programs.
ofcourse utorrent
Disadvantages of rTorrent:
* CLI only and no easy to use graphical interface (unless you use ruTorrent)
* Might need to install VNC anyway if needing a graphical browser to add torrents.
Disadvantages of uTorrent on Wine:
* Must install x window, VNC, Wine.
* Uses quite a lot of memory running all those behind.
* VNC not as secure as putty (SSH)
* .torrent file associations never stick.
* A year ago had problems downloading torrents with files in different languages (not sure if still a problem).
So my vote is rTorrent with ruTorrent web interface. Can run on very low specs!
If you are going to run uTorrent though make sure you use fluxbox and not something bulky like gnome for your gui.
