    Favorite BitTorrent client

    What is your favorite bittorrent client? I use Azureus, because it seems much more reliable when properly configured.

    The original Bit Torrent client. I have found others to be unstable in the past so it put me off using them.

    Bit Commet for me.

    It seems a bit bloated, but it's the fastest one I've used.

    Bit Tornado, pretty standard , gives me 180k+ a sec on nearly every download with only 10k upload.

    I don't like the original BitTorrent. It looks cheaply made and the interface is way too lacking.

    When I had the original BitTorrent, my download or upload speeds were always very slow, I'm not sure why. I didn't use it for too long, and I haven't used it in about a year or more.

    Same here Sean. Azureus so far has provided the best speeds. And of course the torrent site that I frequent works perfectly with it. They have some weird ratio system.

    I used to use Azureus, but it slowed my computer down to a crawl. I've since switched over to BitComet. <3

    BitComet By far the best!

    Bit Tornado rocks, really fast and good features

    I use ABC (Yet Another Bittorrent Client), its pretty good, but I am looking for a client where you can throttle download speed as well as upload speed. I use DSL and can't do anything online if I am downloading something.

    BitTorrent and BitTornado are one in the same, AFAIK. I use it but find it very slow, so I'll probably try Azureus.

    I tried to install it just now via apt-get, but apparently I have unmet Java dependencies which can't be installed. *Sigh* I've tried so many different versions of Java and Java frameworks that it's going to be tough getting any one to work.

    BitComet has the best interface but bitTornado has the fastest speed. As what I've noticed anyways

    TorrentStorm here. Low resource usage, and can control upstream out (while Im gaming I can still share)

    Though I rarely use BT.

    I like ABC for getting my *nix bittorrents but I use Bittorrent rarely.
