im currently using the official one, but it really lacks features..

 

[Ecrofirt]

I've had a pretty nice time with BitTornado 0.3.7

 

[Arwen]

I also use BitTornado. I think I have 0.3.8 and it doesn't give me any problems

 

[Particle Physicist]

I've had a pretty nice time with BitTornado 0.3.7

http://www.bittornado.com/ ?

it says the latest version is 0.3.13 .

 

[Ecrofirt]

http://www.bittornado.com/ ?

it says the latest version is 0.3.13 .

To the right of .3.13, it should say the last stable version is 0.3.7

 

[Mr Gump]

http://www.bittornado.com/ ?

it says the latest version is 0.3.13 .

look at the stable version in the download category....

 

[Particle Physicist]

ah yes, i didnt go to the download page.

 

[DopeyFish]

Azureus

 

[FoneBone]

I use Azureus... is BitTornado significantly better?

 

[jamesinclair]

I used to use the official one and also migrated to Bit tornado.

 

[automagnus]

Azureus

YUP

 

[Chairman85]

BitComet

 

[Ecrofirt]

Azureus never worked for me after 2.1.0.4, and even with 2.1.0.4 it became a huge resource hog on my XPS Gen 3 with 2GB of RAM.

 

[Mejilan]

Oi loikes Azureus...

 

[jooey]

Azureus attached to my system like a parasitic hot rodding teenager from dimension x. the fact it speaks the devil's tongue (Java) was why.

BitComet is much better, but it's the first alternative I tried, so whatever.

 

[Particle Physicist]

hmm.. is there a website or article that compares/contrasts the different clients?

 

[yoopoo]

Recently switched from bittornado to http://www.utorrent.com/

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I switched to Azureus from Bittornado. Far better in my experience so far.

 

[empanada]

I use BitComet & BitTornado here.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

BitComet

it's what I use

 

[Orin GA]

Azureus or BitComet

 

[Scrow]

Azureus

yeah me too. just turn off the automatic updates. Azureus constantly crashes when it tries to update now so I just turned the feature off. It will be stuck at 2.2.0.0 forever.

 

[scorcho]

i personally like Bitspirit - interface is tops, has a wealth of features and it's written in C++, so no Java. http://www.167bt.com/intl/

 

[Bigfonzie]

does anyone know a way to mask my ip address or hide my downloading activity, make it more stealthy?, im starting to get paranoid.

what's wrong with using java?

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

I use ABC. *shrugs* It's the first one I've tried and it works fine for everything I need to do.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/

Oh, and I use BitComet as well.

 

[Teknopathetic]

El Bito Cometo.

 

[Bigfonzie]

Thanks for the link Azwethinkweiz, Ive installed it now and its doign wierd things, ill need to read up more on what it does later on.

 

[Spruce Moose]

Same here.

 

[Diablos]

BitComet.

Azureus is ridiculous. For being a BitTorrent client it hogs a LOT OF MEMORY and resorces.

 

[Particle Physicist]

what wierd things?

make sure you update your lists..

 

[Talas]

BitComet

Same here.

 

[Tenacious-V]

BitComet is amazing. If you have a blazing computer and can handle the memory hogging, go with Azureus. But BitComet has all the same functionality in a less system hogging package. But it's not as pretty.

 

[Callo Merlose]

Bit Tornado. Azureas is good, but's it's a resource hog.

 

[YakiSOBA]

I use bittornado as well.

Speaking of torrents, does anyone have a cure for shitty-ass torrent speeds via university dorm connection? It seems my ul is uncapped (~uling 2-3mb/sec) however, my downloads are sent to the crapper (~1-10kb/sec)

They're packet shaping is my best guess... but I'm always hopin'..

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Just an FYI, if you're gonna download HBO shows(I'm not condoning or anything), you need Peer Guardian 2. Media Sentry floods the tracker with rubbish data and there were times when BitComet was listing 100megs downloaded and 90megs discarded. Peer Guardian blocks those IPs so it's much smoother downloading.

 

[yoopoo]

Wow...can't believe no one here uses µTorrent, this thing is so awesome. Its lightweight - less than 100k, uses low cpu and ram, has plenty of features and has a pretty interface.

 

[scorcho]

what's wrong with using java?

for me? extra resources for a BT client that doesn't offer advantages for me over a nice, lightweight alternative.

 

[U.2.K. Tha Greate$t]

bittornado is still #1 in my opinion.

 

[SHOCKIE]

BitComet

 

[The Shadow]

Wow...can't believe no one here uses µTorrent, this thing is so awesome. Its lightweight - less than 100k, uses low cpu and ram, has plenty of features and has a pretty interface.

It's banned at a BT forum I frequent so I don't use it. Apparently it reports stats incorrectly and causes excessive HD thrashing on some systems.

 

[Rabid Wolverine]

Im currently using BitSpirit.

Beats the shit out of Azurez and Bitcommet imo.

 

[Mr. E. Yis]

I use ABC. It's never gave me a problem.

 

[The Interrobanger]

BitComet or BitSpirit...both are awesome.

 

[ocelittle]

I used Azureus for awhile, switched to BitTornado when Azureus stopped working, and really liked it (I liked controlling which files I wanted to download first and it actually working), but now I'm back to Azureus because it's easier to use. It's nice ot have them all in one window instead of a bunch of windows.

And if I reboot, I don't have to refind all the torrents that I want to download, they're all still in Azureus. With BitTornado (since I don't save the torrent files), I had to refind them...and that's not fun.

 

[Particle Physicist]

ooh.. im liking bitcomet.

 

[Naked Snake]

I've tried many, and stuck to BitComet.

azerus prioritising files works fine. I do it all the time.

 

[Straightballin]

Kinda of topic but in azerus im having a Nat problem and to fix it I went here http://azureus.aelitis.com/wiki/index.php/NAT_problem

It says make a static ip but when i get up to network properties and then go to the properties of my connection there is no advanced tab so im stuck. Anyway around this? And how does Nat effect your downloads does it make them slower?
