Ive been using BitComet forever now, but I need to check out my options... Im looking for the following criteria to be met:

--Low on system recourses (not too low of course)
--Fast resuming
--Great Speeds
-Pick which files to download (if it has more then one)
-Easy to use

So any suggestions?

 

[Culex]

Azureus.

 

[clipunderground]

Azureus.

IAWTP

 

[Mugen]

Azureus is even more resource hog methinks.

I go for Bittornado.

 

[Scrow]

I use Azureus, but I'm not too worried about resource hogging. BitTornado seems the popular alternative. Either one will do the job well.

 

[DarthWoo]

I just installed Azureus yesterday. It seems to take up very little resources, but the Java client that I needed to install to use it does, at least as far as ram.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

I'm using the last release of Shadow's Expiremental Client before they switch to Bit-Tornado or whatever. Easy on the system resources, fast downloads, easy to use etc.

 

[KarishBHR]

whens the new Azu coming out?

 

[Diablos]

Azureus.

Low on system resources? Please. Unless you're using Linux or a 3.2GHz CPU with hyperthreading and dual channel memory, your hard drive is going to be clickin' away while that torrent is active in Azureus.

ABC and BitComet are the best, IMO. I get great speeds in ABC. It hogs NO resources whatsoever. I'm running a 2.07GHz Athlon XP/360FSB/256k L2 with 512MB of memory.

 

[Celicar]

I use bittornado. It works well for me.

 

[Joe]

i currently use bittornado. but if i have like 4 or 5 torrents downloading it pretty much slows my comp down drastically.

 

[way more]

Let me ask and get it out of the way. What are the best bittorrent sites? Are there premium sites? And how much action will that cost me?

 

[aaaaa0]

What is the most lightweight Bittorrent client available?

I want something Win32 native, x86.

I'd like to avoid a piggy Java/Python app, thanks.

I'm especially not interested in installing the JRE on my machines.

Thanks. ;-)

 

[Dujour]

And how much action will that cost me?

The ability to post. :X

Use Azereus if you want a Java-based pretty-looking multi-torrent program.
Use BitTornado if you seed one file at a time and want something effieicent and kick-ass cut.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Bitspirit.

 

[Kiriku]

I'm using Bitcomet too. Why do you want to change?

 

[Red Dolphin]

I made the switch to BitComet recently. Very nice program.

I was using ABC which was great but I started having issues with it on my new computer.

 

[Coen]

I'm using BitComet. It's nice.

hehe

Is there something wrong with Azureus that I'm not seeing? Apart from the Java client it needs occupying about 16MB of ram, I don't notice any significant performance issues with it.

 

[pestul]

Bitspirit.

Seconded..

Well, to give a bit of perspective, I've had Azureus running with about 12 different torrents for the last two days, about 6 of which are still running. Current memory usage for javaw.exe: ~60MB Mem, ~90MB VM. Some people find that objectionable, but I don't consider it too bad considering the amount of torrents I was connecting to at once. (That, coupled with the fact that it's a pretty new PC, so it can handle the load.) I'm quite happy with Azureus myself.

 

[Sander]

I used BitComet for a few weeks until 3 days ago when I tried Azureus. In my case, downloading with Azureus is much faster. I always thought the torrent itself was what limits your speed, guess not. I like BitComets interface better though.
