It's been several months now, so the poll has been updated and reset. I've made more of an effort to identify some of the "Unknown" clients this time. Newcomers to the list include BitSpirit, BitTorrent, Limewire, Xunlei/Thunder, and FDM. Clients that have been phased out of use and didn't make the cut this time include BitTornado, Opera, ABC, and G3Torrent. I've also included an "other" option this time around.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people would say uTorrent is the best, and I'm one of them.

No µTorrent is basically the best (I use µTorrent)

utorrent is the best for single torrents. any more than that it gets slow as hell.

Azureus is the best for multiple torrents.

Also, utorrent does funky stuff when trying to seed and dl more than one torrent at the same time. You can easily being going 300d and 50 up and add another torrent and all shit drops to 15up and down for the 3 total. (I don't know if they fixed that yet)

How many torrents & how high speeds are we talking about? I have roughly 8-10 torrents seeding or downloading usually (speeds are quite low though (dl & ul 25-50 total, depending on the time of the day because of others using it), and I haven't noticed any slowdowns.

The old Azureus was pretty good, but the new one I don't like.
Either way it doesn't matter µTorrent is my client of choice.

kTorrent and Deluge are both excellent.

I've used uTorrent 1.8 for a short while, after something strange happened to 1.6.1...
Despite my fears after reading several threads about problems with it, it has worked flawlessly so far

...

...though some minor oddities;
I'm looking at a torrent; [Q-R] OVA Hoshi no Umi no Amuri ep 02...
I'm the seed, connected to two leechers, 43,9% and 53.5, respectively
...availability is... 3.894

Are my adding skill just rusty, or does that look odd $:-\$ ...

uTorrent for the casual torrenter that downloads stuff from time to time, Azureus if you want complete control over your torrenting.

Azureus is kind of a resource hog though, but changing a couple settings will bring it below 100MB of ram (still way more than uTorrent, but substantially less than its normal 300MB)

depends on what you torrent. I use both, but lean towards Azureus just because I'm a control freak.

Definitely uTorrent. =)

i used to use ABC

shifted to utorrent for DHT

i haven't discovered boxtorrents during those days so downloading hard to find anime with ABC was really difficult

Hot DAMED!! Yeah FDM!! Finally it made it!!

I'd say uTorrent for windows and KTorrent for linux, I've got alot of bt programs on linux cause I just moved to it and I'm not familiar with the bt programs yet because I always used uTorrent from day one. I tried Vuze out but quickly kicked it off as it seems to be less of a torrent program and more of an advert program trying to throw a load of garbage down your throat lol.

I used to be a Transmission fan (as seen earlier in this thread), but after Transmission started giving me lockup/freezing issues with some torrents, I decided to install rTorrent and give it a whirl. Now I'm glad I did.

It may not have a nice UI, but it is incredibly stable and has no problem humming along for days with several torrents running. It's also very easy on system resources - rTorrent is quite possibly Azureus/Vuze's polar opposite when it comes to resource consumption.

A lot of people seem to like using a web interface with it, but I see no issues with just using the default commandline screen interface, so that's what I do.

rtorrent is teh win. I still miss azureus' seed shuffling/scheduling and all that, but I haven't been downloading as much from Box recently and so I don't really need to worry about seeding efficiently.
