Best Bitorrent Client?
Stsin:
uTorrent can do plugins? No. Though it does do a lot without them.
I wish Azureus never became Vuze. Making it even more bloated, though much of the resource hogging is Java's fault.
I use both. For basic torrenting, look no further than uTorrent. If want access to many extra functions and plugins, Azureus is worth it.

I use Transmission (GTK) on Linux. When I use Windows (pretty much never) I use uTorrent.
Transmission is nice, the GUI is easy to use and finding torrents is quick with categories, searching and the different sorting methods, even with 100s of torrents. Also nice is the RPC interface. I can write a script to control torrents however I like (for example, automatically stopping public torrents at a 1.1 ratio while leaving private torrents alone). My only gripe are how damn unresponsive it is while hashing existing files (hey this is 2009, 'threads' and 'aync IO' exist... mmk!)
I'll probably try Deluge just to see how it is.

I've used my fair share of clients. First Mainline (which was decent, but a bit basic back then), then BitTornado (a solid improvement, not a bad client really), then Azureus. Azureus was still Azureus when I was using it, and I liked it. Solid interface, lots of features, and an ability to work around the NAT problems I was having back then. I've tried it since, but don't like it now. It felt a bit bloated back then, now it's like having a blue whale on my desktop.
I dropped Azureus when I moved to Linux, and started using KTorrent. It was a nice client, though I missed some features from Azureus. It also seemed to have catastrophic memory leaks in the versions I used back then, eventually causing me to dump it for Deluge. I'm still using Deluge now, and it seems to have a little bit more than KTorrent in terms of features, and doesn't use nearly as much memory. The interface isn't exactly attractive, but I'll live with that.
So, long story short, Deluge is my client of choice.

I heard that bitcoment reports incorrect ratio statistics resulting in a higher seeded profile than usual. Also I heard it doesn't have the disabling of DHT and uses heavy resources on your computer.

that was very,very old issue back to ver 0.60. according to wikipedia,that exploit was fixed on ver 0.61 and current version is 1.12(although I'm using 0.64)
aside of some black old day story, now BC is clean and very efficient client.
as far i use this client don't have any resource issue.it's resource consumption may not good as utorrent but since it built using C++, it was far better than java based one such as vuze.

So in other words I've been using torrents for that long?... Am I old?... No I can't be... NOOOOOO! :'(

I use Transmission. It has a simple interface and it is easy to set up. It does lag sometimes when checking existing files but that is forgivable for the stability of the whole thing.
