I use Bitcomet, the only reason being it was the 1st thing that i saw in download.com when i was looking for torrent clients. But i like limewire(P2P) better because there you dont have to commit to uploads, which is helpful if you have limited bandwidth.

Well, I highly recommend the BitComet client, I use it for downloading the Linux SUSE DVD and it works amazingly better than the Official (bit torrent) client, also you are able to chat with the people who seeds or leechs the .torrent file, allows easy swapping between tasks, and it is very secure, try it at BitComet Homepage

Good luck and have fun with BitComet!

Sometimes when a program freezes alot its because the computer is overheating. Not always though.

I have nto tried the other clients yet. I go with bit torrent because I know it has been around forever. At least when I am using the windows desktop. I have another client that came with my linux system when I installed it. I don't remember what its called.

Torrents don't seem to be quite as popular as they once were but they are more convienent when you have really alot of information to transfer. This is especially true for cd images.

[DogEater008]

lol.. you have bitcomet on there twice..

I use bitcomet because it doesn't lag your computer as much like those other clients that eat up all your computer resources. And it doesn't have to do a hash check everytime you reopen the program like client abc

I don´t know which is the best bittorrent client. I´ve only installed Azureus... bacause of his Java platform and I didn´t had any problem so I don´t think about changing to another...

Anyway, I don´t think Bittornado could reach faster speeds with my connection and Azureus is very easy.

In addition to checking out bittornado, you should also check out µTorrent. This is, I think one of the nicer and easier to use bittorrent clients.

P.S. There is no installer, the program that you download is the program its self. Great for people who keep their life among other things on those little USB flash drives. Also very lightweight when it comes to processing power.

Ran it on a Sony Vaio, Windows 98, 64MB ram 200Mhz proc, while typing a paper. Not even a hicup.
Also insludes a built in search bar that will allow you to search your favorite torrent engine (Some set up required... its realy easy)

i lke bitcomet torrent and shareaza...they all seem to have the same reliability to me at least...but it seems to be easier for me to look for files on shareaza because they show up all in one window...i heard that there some kind of rating by stayin online that you get in bitcomet or bittorrent...i forgot...and you have to keep your rating up for some reason i forgot....not sure what program does that but its good so that people who do stay on will help others upload their files to other computers

[Murphy71984]

I use uTorrent. It's fast, efficient, and effective. I prefer it over the popular Azureus client. It's not Java-dependent. It's small in size, and it gets the job done. And the speeds are out of this world!

[ts_r]

i think ABC is the best software

Another Bittorrent client 4.0

i am using this appliaction from a long time

it is best in downloading it is fast also

[BEagle]

I use azureus, only because i've never tried any others, it has served me well and it seems to be the most popular one.

[master_bacarra]

i use uTorrent. i find its interface very user-friendly. my classmate adviced me to use it and i think i'm contented with it. i have tried bittornado before but back then i had no idea what torrents were so i just threw the client away and just downloaded files using bearshare. after a few months, my computer got so many virus because of the spyware that came with downloading via bearshare. i've fixed the pc and now i'm using torrents to download files. what kind of files? mostly songs. i've never tried downloading videos because i only have dial-up connection and i would be waiting light years before i can watch that video.

[turnerzworld]

The Turnerzworld Team was also recently asked this question, and the answer is Azureas, i think thats how its spelt. Its a great little app, and thrashes all others such as the Bittorrent client, uTorrent, etc.


Hi,
I just wanted to tell everyone about my websites podcast at www.turnerzworld.com. I'm sure you might think that why am I trying to get a free hosting account when I am already paying 500 dollars for one else where, i want my users to have their own turnerzworld email, so yourname@turnerzworld.com, and to do that I need Cpanel, thats where trap17 Comes in, though i am planning on starting my own free hosting service with cpanel. 1gb of space for all users. Well, i'll see.

I use Azureus for it's features. I like it... especially the selective downloading feature and the ability to kick/ban people you're connected to. However, I don't like how it hounds all my memory and sometimes loads extremely slow. At least Azureus does the job for me... As long as it does its job and has a nice set of features, it's what I'm going to use.

[Blue Lightning]

I don't like bit torrents since the website that you are downloading the torrent off can track your ip.
Also, isn't shareeza p2p?

[ibsu]

ABC (Another Bittorrent Client)

Because it has a simple, elegant interface. And I works just fine. I've always had problems with the other popular ones.

[kawasu]

hmmm... ive used quite a few clients myself. right now i'm using bitcomet only because its really easy to handle and its ok on the cpu load. i must agree with the people who said bittornado is faster, i think it is aswell but i cant stand having multiple client windows open. azureus lagged like hell, and i din like teh way it operated. ABC was ok, but bitcomet is basically an advanced version of that so i switched. overall, i just use bitcomet cause of the reasons stated earlier. ;]

[dragonis]

I've Tried almost every client for torrent files. I've come across a recent one I found to be insanely good. What it does is it uses less system resources and takes a little less or your bandwidth to use it. The program is called uTorrent. you can download it at http://www.utorrent.com/. You can download multiple torrent files at ones in the nice categorized menu. You can also add you own skins to the program to make it feel like your own program.

Everyone should go try this out. I haven't come across a better one since I've tried all the others vs. this one.

And to answer blue lightnings question: yes Shareaza is P2P, however you can download torrent files through it as well. It connects to edonkey, limewire, bareshare, and many other clients for the P2P part of the program. I don't think programs like this are good. programs are ment to have a soul purpose. If it is programmed to do to many things, it causes more errors (usually).

[emptypile]

I use Azureus because it is quite organized and pretty easy to use.

I haven't been using Bittorrent for a while.

[fongy]

i cant believe you guys have missed out uTorrent from your survey list! man uTorrent is clearly the best and most well known torrent software out there. it used to be bitComet but its been taken over!!!



i cant really explain why its so good. in my experience i get the best download speeds (up to 400kb/s) and thats keeping my upload speeds limited to 40kb - so i can play CS hehee.

anyway, click the image to go to the site in case you hadnt realised !

[Magic1492]

I use BitComet, only because uTorrent doesn't run on my computer for some reason. I find it gives decent speeds. I never liked BitLord, mainly because all it is is a lower version of BitComet, Azureus lags and sucks up ram. BitTornado would never accept any trackers. I used to use the Linux version, until my Linux box crashed and died, one of these days I'll have to fix it, I love Linux. >_>

But I do want to try uTorrent someday.

[SarCasM]

I currently use BitComet because it let's me choose the files from the torrents that I want to download, and it doesn't seem to go any slower than BitTornado did for me. Although I am thinking about trying a couple of the others out, not sure yet.

I was skimming the forums and came across a thread about torrent. After reading through several posts and even a couple of different threads I am still no more enlightened about what Torrent is. It is evidently something about downloading files and there are several different programs for doing so. If someone wants a good crack at post credits you could post a definition and discussion about torrent for us noobs who dont know what it is.

[RedAlert]

I've tried most of those, and I'd say Azureus is the best. The original Bittorrent client has the nasty feature of one torrent at a time...It's very annoying to wait for one to finish, especially if the download speed isn't all too fantastic. Bittornado is nice for downloading torrents with certain protection (got advent children when it first came out!), but for the most part is has a hard time finding peers. I had the same problem with BitComet as well...I hardly got anything downloaded because they could never find any peers. I got Azureus a while back and still use it to this day because it pretty much suits all my needs. It allows for multiple torrent downloads, has never had a problem opening a torrent, and always manages to find peers (if they exist, that is).

Also, why is BitComet on there twice? Do you think it's just that good?
And you might want to put µTorrent up there, as it's one of the most (if not the most) popular bittorrent client out there. Azureus has been working great for me so I haven't had a need to try it for myself.

[srujanlive]

I use Bitlord a minimal version of bitcomet.. and it rocks providing me with minimal upload rates and maximum download rates. Considering my bandwith, i couldnt have been happier.

Yeah I agree completely with you on this one.

And I give additional plus to Azureus because it was programmed in JAVA.

[aminzzlink]

i think azeurus is the best one , offering a lot of good features
