I've been wondering which client is the best. I'm using BitComet but found out an issue that this client is a big leecher. It suck bandwidth of private trackers. Many want it to be banned...
I was using Azureus, but I found out it is to buggy on my computer. All those NAT problems always occurs. It is due to my stupid Norton Antivirus...
I got nothing against BitComet. It is fast, but I don't know whether it'll stay to upload after complete download...

I'm still using Bit tornado.. simple, light and well pretty much no bugs and doesnt eat to much processing power of my ancient machine.
I tried both azereus and bitcomet and found it to be an overkill for downloading torrents.

?Torrent is the only one I've used. No installation needed. Very small file. Very small memory usage.

I tried utorrent, azureus, bitcomet, bit tornado and ABC. I did some comparison to their average download speed on my computer.
utorrent ~ av. of 45 - 60 kbps
azureus ~ av. of 20 - 33 kbps
bitcomet ~ av. of 45 - 65 kbps
bit tornado ~ av. of 70 - 90 kbps
ABC ~ can't tell much for this client.
There are many other factors involved (seeds, peers...) in determining the speed of download. But this is what I see in average of their speed.
I like bit tornado. The problem is that it don't have a user-friendly interface.

Are they in the same category?
Firefox = internet browser
Bittorrent = P2P program?
Common?Let's ask those experts in Recom... :D

so far i think utorrent's the best.
btw, kakumei did you forward the bittorent ports to your computer?
i've been averaging about 150Kbps for utorrent so far...if there's alot of seeds like naruto it's about 220Kbps.

I don't have any NAT problem when downloading. I think I did forward the port...
There is no way i can reach you speed, weich...it's limited by my maximum bandwidth... :D
Anyone know anything about bitlord? Is it good too? I am using the bittorent itself. Is that good too? :oops: My friend told me that ABC is superb and I might consider changing a client. Suggestions?

I'm using Azureus now. I tried out Bit Torrent. It was slowing down my computer terribly.
Firefox is a web browser, Bit Torrent is not exactly a P2P program, but quite close to it.
In fact, I'm so confused about torrents. I've only recently discovered it and it's great!
Much better than P2P programs anyway.

The reason seehua talked about firefox was in response to my "memory hogging" statement.
Bit Torrent is P2P, it only differs from the other P2P softwares in its mechanism where a distribution of file fragments is used optimally to the result of higher overall download speed.

If I'm not mistaken BitComet is banned by many trackers. I noticed that most people are using utorrent and azureus nowadays.
By the way, for people who have no idea what bittorrent is, this is a rather good introduction:

Do you have any of the bittorrent client installed already? (utorrent, azureus etc)
It will be opened automatically by those clients if it's installed. IF it's not, then you would not be able to download a torrent.

BitComet 0.70 is the best version...... the newer version is suck...
BitLord is based on the code of BitComet 0.5X if i'm not mistaken...
Azureus is java-based.... that is what i'm using now... but the interface may a little bit confusing... (for beginners)...

I am not sure about others, but I heard that bit comet is frowned upon by many tracker providers and are even banned in certain services due to its leeching behaviour.
