I'll vote for µTorrent, just to give it an even hundred votes.

I voted just to make it uneven

Using Azureus now since uTorrent makes my browsing slow.

Is there actually any point using an ancient version of Azureus instead of the newest version with Vuze disabled?

you sure it's not the other way around? :]

Hadouken · « **Reply #124 on:** June 06, 2008, 05:38:12 PM »

Nope, if the download goes past 310kB/s, my browsing gets slow to a crawl but with Azureus I can download well past that and still have fast browsing.

Yes there is, laziness, I'm installing uTorrent as I type; I've finally gotten around to backing up all my stuff and reinstalling Windows XP.

*I just want to mention: "XP."

You should open it from your router's page and add a rule for it in the software firewall.

It may seem to some that I brag about my setup... and they're right. I'm a little proud of it. XD

I have a Linux Homecenter (Homeserver) that stands in the corridor of my basement and runs 24/7. It's an old 1.2 GHz PC with just 256 MB RAM. But it doesn't need more power because it's a headless system without a GUI/Desktopmanager/Whatever. Just plain Shell.

Therefor I use Bittornado's curses Interface for the Shell. It's not nearly that feature-rich like Azureus or µTorrent. But I don't need all those features. I just want that 24/7-box to dl and seed my torrents while I and my normal PC are at sleep.

I mounted the Torrent-Directory shared via NFS from my Homecenter on my Ubuntu Desktop, so when I want to download a torrent I just have to save the .torrent-File into that mounted folder and Bittornado starts downloading within 5 Seconds. If I shutdown my PC the homecenter keeps on downloading and seeding.

That Homecenter needs by far less power than a gaming PC because it's an Office PC without graphics card, sound card, CD Drive, Keyboard and mouse. So it's no problem to keep it running 24/7.

The Interface looks like this:

If someone is interested in an HowTo for such a setup feel free to ask.

Transmission uses less resources so you can get faster speeds and more simultaneous downloads.

As far as I know transmission needs an X-Server to run. So in the end Transmission needs far more resources than the Shell Interface of Bittornado because I have to run a whole X-Server just for Transmission.

Additionally I never had Performance Issues with Bittornado. Even if I download with my whole downstream or have added many Torrents.

Bittornado can download and seed simultaneously. I don't know how many torrents are possible to download simultaneously. But it's definitely more that 30. But My Harddrive takes only 50 GB. So I can rarely download more than 30 Torrents at once.

Sounds too powerful for me..

I have a..

400mhz PIII running XP pro with 384 megs of ram,
it runs uTorrent and is a fileserver for my home network. I setup a shared folder which utorrent auto-loads torrents from.

The only reason I installed 384 megs of ram was to get fedora running on it with X. XP pro ran fine with the 128MB that was in it when I got it.

I liked Azureus, until it got herpes and crabs.

Then I liked bitcomet ... but trackers don't like it.

So I use uTorrent. It's OK ... but I don't really like it all that much. I guess ... it's better than nothing.

Rakshasa's rtorrent is missing from the list

, great BT client to seed on boxT from a 2x100mbit ethernet bonded box

. but i voted uTorrent. cause it's the best client there is for win32 that i can advertise to my windows using friends

I just found out I can play tetris with utorrent.

And that is why it is the best torrent client ever.

Kaixx · « **Reply #137 on:** July 30, 2008, 10:09:17 PM »

I've used uTorrent, Azureus, BitComet and BitTorrent.

BitComet and BitTorrent were bad, Azureus was alright but uTorrent is great.

ETL19 · « **Reply #138 on:** July 31, 2008, 09:25:47 AM »

i wanna change my vote.

How about the Halite bittorrent client? nobody here that uses it? i don't use it myself so maybe.
