Which is your preferred or most used Bittorrent client?

I use utorrent and Vuze. I like both of them, Nearly all private trackers recommend utorrent. And its very lightweight with any system requirements and such.

I find Vuze (Azureus) very functional and gives lots of options with which you can fiddle around.

so tell us...which client do you prefer and why?

utorrent. I am using since beginning. One of my friends gave it to me when I didn't know what a torrent is. When I understood how it works, I started using utorrent. Luckily it happens to be the best one. Would like to experiment with a few others too.

I have always used µTorrent. Never tried anything else.

smoothvibes · 07-23-09, 11:10 PM

i use vuze, already tried utorrent but vuze is my fav

07-23-09, 11:13 PM

utorrent only. had tried someothers but forgot the name. utorrent is light on resources and portable too.

Deluge. It uses 20 mb memory in my configuration. I think it is best available client for Linux users.

07-23-09, 11:22 PM

utorrent(ofcourse) & limewire!

Limewire not for .torrent files but for downloading songs(mostly english) just check this feature!
nice one!

Torrent clients I have used

μtorrent
ABC (Yet Another Torrent Client)
Arctic Torrent
Azureus & Vuze
Bit Spirit
Bit Tornado
Bit Tyrant
Bitcomet
Bittorrent ++
Bittorrent old & new
Deluge
Fire Torrent (addon)
Flashget
Fox Torrent (addon)
G3 Torrent
Halite
Ktorrent
Miro
Opera
Rufus
Transmission

Some of them are really good. But none of them have as many important features as μtorrent.

^ Azureus has almost as many if not more features than utorrent.

Archer · 07-24-09, 02:00 AM

Yeah, Azureus/Vuze has even more features than μtorrent (eg: torrent rating), but most of them are by the help of plugins and it's a little messy (advanced though). Most of the important or must have features needed for torrent client are already inbuilt in utorrent as a single small package.

The reason I don't like Azureus is because of it's multiple tab interface and Vuze because there is no option to disable downloading of multiple files at start up. And also hard to modify trackers for a torrent.

Are you using the classic ui or modern ui?

Archer · 07-24-09, 02:08 AM

I have used classic UI (in Bit Tyrant) and modern UI in Vuze (didn't download anything).

07-24-09, 06:59 AM

Try the Classic UI in Vuze. You will need to go to options>interface>start>display vuze ui chooser. Select the classic UI from there.

You will not regret it!

Archer · 07-24-09, 07:43 AM

Ok I will give it a try.

innovat0r · 07-24-09, 04:23 PM

bit comet

oh and also utorrent

Archer · 07-25-09, 01:24 PM

I tried it out. It’s definitely better than Vuze UI and Azureus old version. But it’s still a little hard to manage torrents in it. Probably because I am used to μtorrent’s simple interface. The application stopped working when I installed 3D View plugin after showing a wrong NVIDIA version error. And I had to uninstall it.

After that I tested LH- ABC, a modified version of ABC (Yet Another Bittorrent Client) which is based on Bittornado.

The modification includes RSS support, Search, Command scheduler etc. It’s got all the important features required for a good bittorrent client. And some features even μtorrent hasn’t.

The only problem I notice is, no file selection menu when adding a torrent and empty folders created when there are multiple folders in a torrent, even after disabling them in file selection menu.

I agree with you. Vuze has lots of video content. I use both vuze and utorrent

Yeah the 3d plug-in does not work on my Vuze also. I don't use bittornado based client because it has been banned by most private trackers that I use.

I didn't know it was banned. I rarely use private torrent trackers. And Vuze HD contents are cool. I downloaded some new movie HD trailers with it.
