Re: What client do you use for torrent files?

i tried most of them, but for me, the best is µtorent, right now it uses only 6MB of memory, i suppose 1MB for a torrent, lot of options in it. and its small, only one file, less then 1MB if i remember right...

using it for half a year now, definitely beter than most other * torrents

Re: What client do you use for torrent files?

I use Azureus as well...can anybody tell me how to get rid of this stupid popup appearing everytime I start the program which asks me to update a file but the file can never be found (file size -1 kb)?

Re: What client do you use for torrent files?

never broke down, no popups, easy to use, low memory usage, never over 10MB, the new version, i read somewhere, has cache mem, older ones were writing directly to disc, or something...

Re: What client do you use for torrent files?

dont like azareus at all. utorrent is the way to go. FlashLight summed it up.

^ ^ Why don't you like Azureus? Too much information available?

#667070Post 15 of 39

Re: What client do you use for torrent files?

As far as I remember, Azureus uses Java.

I used ABC (Another Bittorrent Client) and it works AMAZINGLY well. Very light and pretty good.

You are correctomundo, Kamal. Java it be. Weeeee! :RockOn:

I'm with beanz, Azureus rocks. The plugins make it so much more functional. Use the RSS feeds and filters to download shit automagically.

Re: What client do you use for torrent files?

Azureus rocks!!!!!!

#667355Post 19 of 39

Re: What client do you use for torrent files?

^^^great program, but the Jaza hogged my resources.

So I went with uTorrent; fucking light and compact. Just wish I had the RSS s...err no wait I'd be downloading 10X what I already am :lol:

Try 1gb.

It's not efficient, therefore I don't use it.

#674786Post 26 of 39

Re: What client do you use for torrent files?

#677317Post 30 of 39

Re: What client do you use for torrent files?

Utorrent !!!! Best eva...

Re: What client do you use for torrent files?

oke the news about azureus, just read it on the PCstats newsletter:

[FONT=verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#fff8d0]PCstats Weekly Tech Tips: Azureus BitTorrent Client Encryption Technique[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=verdana][SIZE=2]BitTorrent (BT)is one of the most useful protocols for finding and transferring files between peers, however it might be a bit too successful. Many ISP's (at least in North America) now throttle BT traffic to keep it from eating up too much bandwidth. That can slow data transfers to a handful of KB/s. Azureus ([URL="http://azureus.sourceforge.net/"][COLOR=#0000ff]http://azureus.sourceforge.net[/COLOR][/URL] ) is one of the more popular BitTorrent clients available, and it comes with a very handy feature - the ability to encrypt BT traffic! That means the ISP can no longer throttle traffic because it doesn't know what the packets are for. To use this feature, you'll need to install the Azureus client, and after the program has loaded click on the "Tools" menu then "Options...". From there expand the "Connections" options, click on "Transport Encryption" and in the main window check the "Require encrypted transport" box. Leave the "Minimum encryption transport" at stock (RC4) and also check the "Allow non-encrypted outgoing connections if encrypted connection attempts fails" and "Allow non-encrypted incoming connections" boxes so you can connect to non-encrypted traffic too. Once you've made those changes, click the save button and you're all set! From now on even if your ISP throttles BitTorrent traffic, the encryption will allow your data to run at full speed. =) Please note that Azureus is a bit of a memory hog, and requires Java to function.

so atleast for one thing its better to have azureus. but if someone has azureus from US, and like, i have uTorrent in EU, and he is encrypting date, will i be able to recieve it:?: [/SIZE][/FONT]

#697113Post 36 of 39

Re: What client do you use for torrent files?

utorrent is the one for me!

i have tried all mentioned clients above but no one even comes close to it! you won't notice it running not even with several torrent's running.

ACE! :p

#699711Post 37 of 39

Re: What client do you use for torrent files?

I've got to agree, utorrent is by far the most reliable and simple application right now

#709292Post 38 of 39

Re: What client do you use for torrent files?
