Best Bitorrent Client?
Lupin:
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
vuzedome:
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.
