Reverie Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I started out with...Mainline (official)Shadow's experimentalBitTornado: all the way up to 0.3.11 python 2.3 (the new versions were plagued by the undead process)Getright!: never really new if it worked or not... just tested it because I have getright as the download manager and it just opened my Torrent file one day after I uninstalled BitTornadoBitComet kinda locked up resources so.. out it wentUtorrent: nothing better out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatrabbit Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I started on the main client and then switched to shadows experimanetal also after that I jumped to PTC, G3 and finally ABC. µtorrent is exactly what I've been looking for.

ICleolion Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Started out on mainline client for a couple of weeks before moving onto TheShadows experimental client. Stuck with that for God knows how long before switching to this client. I have a sneaking suspicion i will stick with this for a very long time too.

testakis Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 First was the original bitorrent client, then azureus for a really long time and I found μtorrent and I am staying. Also attractive was the μ that is from my language (greek). Keep up the good work guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudeboyz Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Shareaza > Azureus > Bit Spirit > UtorrentI really like Bit Spirit a lot, but Utorrent is what I am now using, due to lean and clean and small size. Bit Spirit actually gets me faster download on my ADSL with Anti-Freeze active, but Utorrent is just so cool I don't mind the moderately slower downloads.

chaosblade Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I dont trust bitspirit too much. The sole fact it HAS peerid faking makes it lose credit entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudeboyz Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I don't even know what peerid faking is. I just know that Bit Spirit gives me the absolute fastest downloads, but I'm liking Utorrent better from an ease of use and resource standpoint.

emtec666 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Basically I tried them all, well most (except BitLord, Shareaza, BitSpirit)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_clientsNow I use theseBitTornado (good old workhorse, if DHT needs to be avoided at all cost the successor of old Shadows can be recommended)Azureus (still my standard client, gives me full control, kick/ban IP function is very handy when I'm uploading), yup it uses more RAM/CPU...but I'm not a gamer so it runs fine even on my crappy Celeron 900µTorrent (been using it for 2 weeks for up/downloading, still needs some tweaking (and kick/ban IP feature), has the potential of being my standard clientAlso: you don't have to use 1 client, I'm not a "fanboy" of any client Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalShogunX Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Hi everyone! Newbie here. I switched from Bit Tornado and am now officially hooked on utorrent. What a great invention! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 BitTorrent >> BitTornado (nice name) >> Azureus >> BitComet (I really liked this one and used it for several months until I heard about its "statistics abuse") >> G3 Torrent >> uTorrent. I have only used it for 2 days but it looks very solid and fast. The interface is nice too. Actually I can't think och one single thing to complain about. Good job!

Mixer Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I also switched from BitTornado, it used to be the best but µTorrent has been a brilliant switch for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knives_out Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I used to use Bitlord until I found out that it was as someone else put it 'the bastard child of BitComet' am currently using BitComet and have just installed utorrent. Can I just ask what the hell distributed hash tables are all about cos people seem to dislike them and i dont understand why. As far as im concerned they speed up my download a lot. Also could you treat me as retarded (but not too retarded) in your explanation. Thanksps can someone explain to me what makes utorrent better than bitcomet. i want to weigh them both up before choosing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garnertr Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I guess I'm the odd ball here, b/c I came fr a non-bt client, I was over on the P2P house (Soul Seek) and have been giving the torrent world a spin for a few months......Anyway, still wondering what is in store for the future of uTorrent...

lsd Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 1. BitTornado 2. BitSpirit (don't agree, has nice gui, but needs to be setup properly) 3. Tomato torrent OsX(Orginal BitTorrent client for mac with native gui, nice but slow) 4. Transmission OsX Very nice, fast and reliable, dead unfortunetally. 5. ---> uTorrent <--- (back to Windooze)Quick story about uTorrent: I didn't want to use it, have heard something about spyware or other crap, after quick search it turned out to be a pile bullshit. Downloaded, checked it out -> <- and IMHO the best Torrent client out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha-Toxic Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 1. BC...then, about an year and a half ago - uTat first I was often trying other clients that have native Linux versions (mainline, bittornado, ktorrent, rtorrent), but after I got uT working under WINE with all the file associations and stuff - no going back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vike Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I used Azureus for a very long time, then heard about µtorrent. I think I switched to µtorrent when it was at 1.3 or 1.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
