I need a torrent client recommendation
« on: December 15, 2012, 04:28:12 PM »
Hey everyone,

Been using bakaBT for more than a year now I think and all this time i had been using uTorrent, a version as old as my registration here i guess. Because I was lazy to kill that pop up asking me to update it to some new version, someday i accidentaly accepted it without thinking, and hell happened when i discovered the new version was blacklisted. That, and also the new version sucked anyway. So I got to install a previous evrsion I had on my PC except the last line, which says "i accept the license agreement" bla bla also has an "...and i accept installation of xxxxxx toolbar". OMG! really... I knew it was fishy but i thought I could uninstall it later! It was useless, uninstalling it didn't remove it from my pc so I spent llike 2 hours now trying to get rid of that annoying thing...I succeeded!

So now because I am extremely fed up with uTorrent, and I realize I have no clue about other cleints whatsoever, I wanted to ask you please please to recommend me a good client from the BakaBT whitelist. Something that doesn't have too many useless options, and eats as few resources as possible.
 All I want is to be able to keep track of my torrents, in uTorrent I used to add in the titles smth like "BAKA UP" if I was keeping it only to upload....and marking the series that were not completely downloaded... and also I was using it to limit de upload speed of mostly currently airing anime that were eating all my bandwidth.

Using windows 7 on 64bits

Thank you very much

Personally I am using uT version 2.2.1, I've tried all the other major clients and none of them had all the features I needed to switch so I ended up going back to it.

Pay attention to the installer next time instead of blindly clicking next, you can opt out of sponsored programs.
