Best Bitorrent Client?

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. :D

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

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