Best Bitorrent Client?
Takeshi:
I've been using uTorrent for years now, and it's one of the easiest clients I've ever used. Official and BitComet being some of them. It's fast, doesn't require much memory and tiny as hell, what's not to like? I don't get why people still hold on to Vuze or some other crap. One of my friends likes to use Vuze, though it's easy to see that the program is one big motherfucker with too much content. I use uTorrent to download/seed and that's all it needs to. And well, the fact that it's allowed here makes me so much happier that I decided to stay with it.

Agreed. I don't feel like or want to install extra plugins for my client, either there are there when I install the damn thing or I just live without. I try the hardest not to install too much I either don't know if I'll ever need or know works for me. A slow computer is the last thing I need.

I use µTorrent. and it is the best one I've seen for windows.
When I had a Mac I used Transmission. It's the best torrent client I have ever used

I would switch to µTorrent, but I don't know how to transfer all of my torrent data over from Vuze, and I'm too lazy to do a bunch of research on it, so meh.

1) Search for .torrent files in your Vuze program folder (or wherever you saved them), drag&drop them into uTorrent.
2) In the "Add torrent" dialog box in uTorrent, select the folder where the files are stored, uncheck the "start torrent automatically" checkbox, click "Ok".
3) Right-click, select "force recheck", start the torrent when it's done hashing.
Doesn't get any easier than that. If you didn't do any changing of downloading directories (i.e. you just let Vuze handle everything by itself), you can easily set uTorrent's default download directory to be the same as Vuze's, and then you won't need to change anything at all. You can even disable the add torrent dialog box and make torrents start themselves automatically, if you're sure everything is in the right folder and will hash by itself.

=0 Wow. I thought I was going to have to jump through a lot more hoops than that. Fantastic! Thanks a million. :)
Edit: Also, whoever had the idea to put [BakaBT.xxxxvx] in front of all the torrent files, I love you. A lot. I thought for the longest time that I was deleting the torrent files, but apparently I wasn't... and there are thousands in here. Yay for BakaBT!
