Which program is the best in your opinion and why?
Ill start, I find uTorrent to be the best simply because its
1.Simple
2.easy
3.Standalone
Iv always used this program because it simplicity; I can just let it run in background doing it job with out it stealing my recourses.
Its simple; basically not all to general purpose like the others. 

Edit: shit the poll has grammar issues -.-

[LMF_]

I also use uTorrent and the reason are exactly the same as yours.

I personally find it the same as BitComet but uTorrent is smaller in filesize =]

[Oblivion]

I use Bitcomet, coz i wasnt satisfied with azureus and such alike, and coz with comet you can trick quite a lot

Trick people? please explain.

[KSking]

I use Bitcomet, coz i wasnt satisfied with azureus and such alike, and coz with comet you can trick quite a lot

I didn't understand the tricking and I need a guide. Without tricking it was pure cr@p in my option.
I'll go with BitLord and my past favorite BitTornado.

2nd: have tog o to pee, will post this sometime else......

[mysticangel]

>_> bleh i'm using azureus to torrent the anime file. guess time for me to use some another software for this type of things. 

[Majin]

I use azureus as well, no problems with it. Although Rogers Cable does suck, using the bit-shaping.

[Nidas]

uTorrent > Transmission > BitTornado > all

/thread.

[Majin]

I used Utorrent, but it slows down my computer more the azureus and gets less download speed.

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

wow thats odd UT never slows me down unless gaming and getting speeds of 800kps.
Altho good speeds pisses me off since i might have to turn off the game for a few mins =/
Anyone wish to donate some ram? 

[MitSuki1110]

I use Transmission..
and I love it.^-^

[omg_baka]

  i use bittornado..and um..lets see, its slow but then its fast. WIERD!! okay! but at times there would be people seeding but i wouldn't be downing anything!! Don't know why cuz i just started using it.....cuz this is my sis old comp. and so she had it here and i just used it so yea.

[Nidas]

Unless the torrent is well seeded, that's perfectly normal torrent behaviour. Just something you have to deal with, especially when downloading large files on a poorly seeded torrent. If a torrent has, say, 50 seeds+ and you're still having problems, its more likely to be a problem with your ISP or local network than it is your torrent client

[shara]

well in the past,i have used bitcomet,bittorent,azureus, n utorrent
n i can say that utorrent really is the best torrent client for me...since it don have much crap application n very user friendly
but now i rarely use torrent,most anime i'll just DDL

[Pho_Enix]

its all about utorrent... small in size and still does the job.

[KSking]

I used to use bittornado for some time. I think it's slow when you start it and then catches up speed. It will go fast in the end. Anyway I think bittornado had a window for every single download so I suggest going for bitlord. It's cute and unlike bitcomet it doesn't require hacking to get started with downloading. I've tried out bitcomet and all so far none of my downloads started, so I just closed it.

[mysticangel]

hmm! should i try it aswell since my torrent stuff is pretty slow

[KSking]

http://www.bitlord.com/

[Reactive]

Weird, BitComet worked fine for me, 1.5 years ago when I was using it. For now I use ?Torrent which is the greatest lightweight, featureplenty torrent client out there ;)

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

lol how did you do the "?"?

[KSking]

Alt + combination of numbers on numbad. Like ? = Alt + 0134

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

i know but witch numbers -.-'

[KSking]

I don't know the numbers but I helped as much as I could.

[Pho_Enix]

the combination keys are Alt+0181

??????????????????????????????????????

you can always find out from Microsoft Word 

[KSking]

(?_?) ~I'm emo
o\\o)
  o o

[Pho_Enix]

(?_?) ~I'm emo
o\\o)
  o o

lol nice ASCII art... you obviously practice huh? heheheheh... 

[KSking]

It comes pretty much naturally. I've done it alot in msn out of boredom.

[Pho_Enix]

so you even made .gif ones too? 

[KSking]

Erm. I haven't done .gif ones. Those take too much time :P                                         

[mysticangel]

even it take a lot of time but i think .gif stuff can be pretty cute

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

  now that i remember it i cant do the "u" thing since im on a laptop 

[mysticangel]

hey cface, you not the only one who on the labtop i'm on aswell.
i can't even torrent on mind labtop had to use main computer for that stuff now a day

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

  I cant even use my main computer as a server no more its full!!! 

[Pho_Enix]

now that i remember it i cant do the "u" thing since im on a laptop 

really? can't you use the "fn" key to use the numpad?

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

  i just noticed theres a number pad with the purple fn letters. i don't see me using it any time soon though. (its all lopsided and shit)

Bingo, every single reason why I like it and use it as well

[BlockHead]

I use Bitcomet but VERSION 0.70 the others sucks. (ads, useless adds, ram eater)

[Reactive]

A group of Generally detested and detestable cheating clients sharing the same base core programming.

Bit - Comet

Bit - Lord

Bit - Spirit

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is BitVomit.

I've seen many uploaders, warn the users that they'll ban their ip's if they use one of those 3 clients. In my opinion, and in many bittorrent specialists, Azureus and µTorrent are the best out there.

[BlockHead]

It's maybe the same base core, but the interface change. For me the one of bitcomet is good. It's just a point of view. If they add some extensions or themes to aza or others maybe i'll chang but until that day. Noo!

[Sensei-kun]

Bitcomet is the best for me, used it the first time and never stopped using it

I use 0.60, and Bitcomet is best for me since you can choose the max for your Up and Dl speeds, and since my upload speed is very slow, and then even divided in 3 I can't give to much...

also since I'm on a wireless conncection if my Dl speed goes up to high my connection dies

a few more reasons why I like Bitcomet is because of the info it gives, like trackers, general Up/Dl speeds, how long the torrent has been running, the tracker, info about the peers/seeders and some more

I also like the Statics where you can see how much you've Downloaded/Upload in total, atm it's 1,5 Tb download and 450 Gig upload, and had my laptop reinstalled 2 times before, so if you count the statics of those bitcomets up aswell it'd probably be around 2,5 Tb Download and 1,25 Tb Upload

bitcomet also has a build-in chat, not that I use it, wait, I used it once, had a nice talk with some Bleach Fans

[W.Wolf]

I use BitComet, it was the only one I found back in the day that could get through all the security and bandwidth limiters my old school had set up and I've stuck with it ever since.

[darksquall82]

I'm using azureus.
Why ?
... it's the first one i tried and stick with it for some years now ... just too lazy to try another one 

[KSking]

Well, bitLord is the one for me and will stay as it.
I have tried bitcomet but it ended up being a total ****.
utorrent is probably nothing BETTER than any other torrent system so I'm staying with bitlord.
I can easily remove trackers and have control over files (really, when it comes to being easy then there's nothing better than bitlord), I can have my home language (I think) and the interface is really simple but cool.

so is µTorrent's :D

[Sosodo]

I switched to uTorrent but the new Azureus looks pretty flashy

[dl.GET]

Utorrent for light downloads such as new weekly manga releases, and Azureus  for large files over the size of 1GB+.

[mysticangel]

well now i use  Bitlord for a weekly anime that came out and sometime using for manga and music too
i'm still using Azureus for large files as well.

[raysan]

well I use Azureus and it never tends to fail in speed cept dead files...

[Emina]

How about Bitcomet .92? I tried using Bitlord and the download reach 100% and it still won't stop, it say connecting to something... (I forgot)

[KSking]

BitLord is finished at 100% Trust me, it is.
But you should still check the file before deleting the torrent. I know that bitlord does a final check over some files sometimes. Takes a bit of time, but you can simply delete the torrent once you have checked if the file is okay. It is NOT okay if the name ends with .avi.bt or such. It should have a unknown file icon at that moment. But when it is done then it will simply have the file's name.

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

Your right
At 100% its already finish, and yeah I check the file if its in avi format before deleting it from the BT client. BitLord sure is a good BT client.

lol keep going keep moving go go download from the endless void!

lol, but sometimes the download is really slow ...so I can't just 'going keep moving go go download from the endless void!' and I notice that new release episode is fast to download, and has a lot of seeds.

[Reactive]

so µTorrent kicks ass :D

[Emina]

Don't know, cuz uTorrent is really slow for me or just that I don't know how to handle it

Btw, your using BitLord right? Do you limit your max download/upload? or you set it 'no limit'? And about the preferences, do you leave the settings as it is or change some of it?

[KSking]

Well I edited it all how I wanted it to be or liked it to be.
*The global maximum download/upload speeds are limitless.
*Max downloads able to run at once = 35 (If I have over 35 files downloading then the rest will wait until one of the 35 finishes, then takes its spot)


There are even smaller changes I made but those I guess are not worth talking about.
Simply change them however you want to. It's like updating a forum profile.

[Sosodo]

just updated uTorrent and it seems pretty stable 

[Emina]

just updated uTorrent and it seems pretty stable 

Well, not for me

[Jraw]

µTorrent : +1. 

[ynazar1]

I'm sticking with azureus and are really happy with it. (although having a buddy that downloads same stuff i do also using azureus on same lan, and thus sharing his content with me, really helps me in this).

[Sosodo]

Do you have the new Azureus, kinda looks odd, like its a trap or something 

[Saber-chan]

i hate torrents..they can virus u so easy

[bungeemirth]

µTorrent gets the job done for me

[KSking]

I have µTorrent and BitLord with my new PC now.
I don't use µTorrent though.
I made BitLord the default torrent downloader.

[Saber-chan]

SAY NOO NO TORRENTS

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

Torrents are far better than DDL imo
Although sometimes a torrent may lack seeds and move at slower speeds you wont have to hop from file host site to file host site to get your downloads.
Neither do you have to wait for anything.
DDL can have server limits and move at 50kbs which is worthless.

PPL that dont use torrents are:
-noobs
  OR
-Prefer DDL either for personal preference or have issues with torrents.

well i can usualyl dl up to 500kb/s with DDL
but with torrents i don't know how to do it to make it fast......
teach me???+ plus u have to upload...while dling...in torrent slows ur dling down

[iidonno]

heh when i DDL i normally get around 600 - 800kb\s and sometimes 1mb\s in all of my torrents i do not go over 60kb/s really torrents are far from the fastest : | as i have yet to see a torrent that has gotten to 1mb/s EVAR ;o

i have used utorrent in the past before it was taken over by the anti piracy company it was good stable and such simple enough for noobs did what i wanted / asked of it (download the torrent plain and simple) i later tried Azureus (didnt work) it was big  and hogged memory on useless things i want a torrent download program to do just that download a torrent : | i like multitasking on my main computer and i cant have it being hogged by a torrent so i went on to bitcomet (i was actually trying to get bittornado and forgot the name) it was an improvement from Azureus it still had some useless features and my download speed wasn't the best but it worked so i was happy but it seemed to kill my last router ( there are a total of four before getting to me so port forwarding is a problem) and i had to go back and reset the router once a day wasn't so bad but then i went to play GUNZ on my laptop in the other room and my ping was 220 -270 which is not normal as i have a 7mb connection and usually have a 20 - 40 ping  so i paused the torrent and it was back at 30

i eventually remembered the name of bittornado and downloaded it and used it i am pleased with how simple it is, no extras does exactly what i ask of it and gets the same download speeds as all of the other ones and it doesn't use that much memory ( when downloading one) i am not really much of a torrent user so it is fine for me my download speeds with it are alittle lower but not bad about 400 - 500 kb/s  but i can live with that

eventually though i wondered if utorrent was faster since i haven't used it in awhile and well it gets the same speeds BUT i need to turn off peerguardian to use it since it goes through some anti piracy place in china(if i remember correctly) :| and if peergaurdian is on it will block it and when the connection to that place is blocked the program crashes for some reason : | so yeah i just went back to bittornado


(if you didn't know)
peergaurdian is a program that blocks ip's ...mm its kind of hard to explain but anyway it blocks certain ips for torrents that are known to give bad data on purpose and such : | and it blocks ips such as anti piracy that will collect data on you mmmm well there isnt much explanation on the site but it also blocks certain goverment ips and some spyware if you are somone who uses torrents often i recommend getting it
it isn't a replacement for a firewall but it can be used i suppose as a anti spyware but then again it  doesn't remove spyware just blocks an ip that distributes it o.o so yeah :|

it also blocks access to certain companies and game sites but you can always disable it with one click o.o
i recommend it : D it hasn't noticeably slowed my connection down also i am curious at what connects to me when i am doing nothing and are connected to the internet (it shows all incoming connections)

[weekend0123]

I'm mac user, and Azureus is the best so far. There are auto update feature, and tons of others.
You can even visually see the how you are connected with other seeds/Leechers.

[dacoinc]

I've tried nearly all those clients in the poll, and I always went back to µTorrent. Simply the best IMO.

peergaurdian wow thats old.
Cant believe someone still uses it.
IMO it served its perpouse and is no longer needed by anyone.

1MB speed on torrents is rare but iv have gotton them espeacialy from privte trackers such as blackcats.

Anti-pircy group took over utorrent?
when was this?
site works fine. http://utorrent.com/index.php

not took over  more like teamed up with
they aren't going to shut it down just monitor everything you do with it and sometime take actions to the hosts of the torrents (read up about it)

also yeah blackcats i usually get around 200-300 kb\s but still not at par with my DDL torrents are always my last resort anyway
(also i didn't get a new account in time on blackcats so i have to wait until they wipe again : | )

also it's peergaurdian 2 "Copyright © 2005 Phoenix Labs" not that old o.o 3 years? you are probably referring to the older version maybe ? and if so i am sure they named it peergaurdian 2 because there where so many changes to its original version so i wouldn't say its old itself
meh i haven't had any problems with spyware recently so it works fine to me  just the normal tracking cookies

[KSking]

I have done basically the same things iidonno did.
I tried them all, but I ended up with uTorrent, not BitTornado.
I am fine with both, but I think BitTornado had a seperate window for every torrent you download and it goes to system tray. I can't use internet when I download torrents anyway as my internet is 2 MB, but feels less than 1 MB so I use uTorrent to keep it clean.

[jvincent01]

I probably used all the popular Torrent Software available in the past years. And I'm pretty much comfortable using utorrent.

sigh so there tracking my shit? >.<
Fags should all die.

hmm so theres a PG 2?
still dont see a reason for it though.
Havent used PG in years and im alright :)
Could it be due to internet encryption?

[iidonno]

pretty much yes they are "tracking [your] shit"

and i dont know either : P i would assume a better way of blocking or more updated lists ? maybe it's more compatible to newer operating systems? less bulky program? better recovery? i have never used PG1 but i would assume something like that

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

eh, I still dont see any threat as of yet to be using such programs.(again)
If you have a protected router a firewall and ip encryption i dont see why anyone would bother to see what type of data is passing thru your connection.

But since you say that there is a PG2 i might consider checking it out.

[wathiroth]

µTorrents sucks. I had it like 30 mins... Azureus is maybe the best.

[iidonno]

µTorrents sucks. I had it like 30 mins... Azureus is maybe the best.

mmmm it was just the opposite but with bittornado
Azureus is a really heavyweight torrent downloader, sure it looks nice but if i run it i shouldn't plan on doing anything else that would eat up a lot of resources 
i usually encode while torrenting while playing a game (listening to music as well ofcourse) but while using Azureus i cant, i run out of memory far too quickly
it also has a lot of options i dont need like the video the search bar and all that other stuff (cant completely remember) i have websites to search for torrents and i have stage 6 for when i want to watch HQ videos 

[Majin]

I use Azureus, no problems with watching Anime or playing games such as War3 or WoW. Slows down the connection a tiny bit but it isn't noticeable.

[iidonno]

hmm my computer must suck then o.o i know its not the connection as i have a 7mb line

[wathiroth]

I used to use BitComet, I think it was even more like that, but still even that was better than µTorrent.

[alpha_vvtn]

µTorrent is the best

[wathiroth]

No it's not. You haven't even try others.

[Saber-chan]

torrent is GAY.........
its only good at lagging ur internet thats all

[wathiroth]

Yeah, if your computer sucks.

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

torrent is GAY.........
its only good at lagging ur internet thats all

Torrents are very important you shouldn't say there"GAY"
Just because you are a 'noob' at torrents dont mean you have the right to say there gay.

Torrents keep piracy alive.

[wathiroth]

karma = good = piracy = good = torrents = good

[Hiddenkaos]

Well i've seen most of the programs used, Azureas is probably the best, but it just took to much effort, i always stuck with utorrent. its easier than Bit torrent, Bitlord or Bit Commet, and i can run it while downloading through Megauploads and still play WC3 fairly well.

[wathiroth]

I use Azureus and BitComet. µTorrent sucks the most.

[Hiddenkaos]

I use Azureus and BitComet. µTorrent sucks the most.

utorrent wronged you in another life somehow didnt it? i mean just based on this poll it much be fairly popular.

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

I use Azureus and BitComet. µTorrent sucks the most.

µTorrent has to be the most popular easy to use torrent client out there.
It simply dose what you want it to and thats download. it has other good torrent features and takes no space at all. its standalone at barely a few megs.
Azureus is a monster.
Its like downloading photoshop if all you want to do is draw circles; ridiculous.
I only use Azureus when using linux and barely.
Since there are other nice clients that could do a better job.

[¤SYOUS¤]

uTorrent uses the least amount of memory. Therefore I like it the best 

[wathiroth]

I also use Azureus rarely. BitComet and µTorrent are pretty similar, but when I compare them, I'd definitely chooce BitComet.

[Hiddenkaos]

uTorrent uses the least amount of memory. Therefore I like it the best 

i agree with that, since i tend to use it along with WMP and Megauploads, when i had azerus i had to let it run alone

[wathiroth]

The difference bitween BitComet's and µTorrent's memory isn't much. Also, µTorrent is so popular, because it's popular.

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

i disagree im sure there is a big difference.
µTorrent basically takes nothing unless it's caching the data it downloads.
Azures takes much more and even uses java.

[wathiroth]

Yes, Azureus does take much more, that's why I use it rarely. But I was talking about BitComet.

it confuzzled me a bit...ill stick with my pretty utorrent and its beatiful setup

[wathiroth]

How was it not use friendly? I think it's as easy to use as µTorrent, and well, pretty similar in most ways. And the setup is also pretty similar, though I like the BitComet's setup better

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

idk i just didn't like it's interface

[Hiddenkaos]

I didnt really have a problem with Bitcomet, i just started with utorrent, and it always seemed easiest to me. Azureus was just, i guess it was to flashy a program, to much unneeded stuff.

agreed.
Iv used it on linux and to me it was a bit to flashy and to much of a program.
ITs more of like the "elite" program.
But most of the time when you see the word 'elite' theres always usless crap behind it.
in the end the so called "elite" be comes annoying and pointless.

[ZA]

I use BitTyrant, which is actually based on Azureus. It's like what it says, it's a TYRANT. :D

[TruthT3ll3r]

For the 100th voter... I've frankly chose µtorrent because:
1) Light on Pc resources.
2) Fast (for me at least but not all the time)
3) Simpler than Azureus!!!

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

lol never notice how popular the votes where in this topic :D
uTorrent FTW! :D

[ZA]

Heck no, BITTYRANT FTW!!!
uTorrent is always around 50-150kb/sec average for me, with BitTyrant is 250-300kb/sec. Win.

[RAMBLESCRAM]

Back in the day, Azureus was teh shizzy.

Utorrent FTW nowadays

Everyone uses diff clients cause diff clients work for diff ppl, but in the end there all basically running the same protocol to gather your information.

[wathiroth]

No matter what system I use, I always manage to find a better choice than µTorrent.

[firebrand]

for general use I use Bit Tornado   If need a more robust program for a download that doen't like bit tornado
I use azureus  both I recommend

[chuu]

Nobody uses a client come with Opera  browser. If you liked Opera, it might be a choice. Although, I'm using µTorrent.

Then, how about a web service like http://www.bitlet.org.

[Oneironaut]

I advise Deluge. It's a near photocopy of uTorrent except it's extensible (good add-ons), open source (no phoning home), and cross-platform (go mac osx/linux).

[infyquest]

use utorrent, its lightweight and fast

[pinge8]

I'm using Thunder5 which combines torrent and e-mule downloads together.  It's in chinese though.  I wouldn't say it's really fast just on par with bitcomet 0.70.

You can get partial english translated features from Hehehunter's website.

Try not to revive old old topics, gets people mad.

Also in defense of Utorrent, I generally get around 300-750kb/s with it... those who get low probably haven't config'd it right.

[xXxgaspxXx]

uTorrent FTW!

[ceressculd]

personally I prefer utorrent. It has IP encryption 
it will take them years to take me down XD;;

[suffah]

Any mac users?  I like Transmission.   

[infyquest]

transmission is good, but try using utorrent with crossover office.
It is real fast than transmission

[mariarosezxcv]

i use bitcomet

[ongelma]

I advise Deluge. It's a near photocopy of uTorrent except it's extensible (good add-ons), open source (no phoning home), and cross-platform (go mac osx/linux).

I second this. I especially like the fact that I can use Deluge's native gui through ssh tunnel to control Deluge running on a different computer.
Most web intefaces seem a bit lacking and console clients don't have all the cool features.

[SLAiNTRAX]

Newest µTorrent 2.0 beta is the best thing out there. Great speeds and manages the upload perfectly.

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

been using the 2.0 beta for a while now, its good but uTorrent is always gud :p

anyone try Deluge?

[iidonno]

Deluge is nais i loev it but it seems to always bug up over time for me, i then go back to bittornado <3

[ï ® têh ©få©ê]

Well its Open Sauce so you can expect it to be buggy :p
Also the fact there there hasn't been a update for the windows reversion of it in awhile shows that its not rly used for windows.

[Hunowie]

Open source sure gives many  usefull options and probably mutch work to the creator.
Iremember azureus as buggy resource easting slow downloader... bitcomet and bittorrnado werent my favourites so now i use uTorrent and I am happy with it - Fast Simple Small.

In a situation you cant find something on webs like hitfile rapid ect and no luck on torrent sites you can give a try to some kind of eMule/Donkey ect you have about 70% chance that it will be there but not nessesarily with many seeds so downloading may take constderable amount of time (like 5 days straight of nonstop for 1 movie).
