amai_heian Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I was just wondering if anyone's still using Azureus *coughhecknocough* or any other client. As for me, I'm using µTorrent as my primary client although I still use BitTornado coz it takes a long time for me to finish my download (it stalls at 95% or so, for an abnormally long period of time, whereas in BitTornado it's not that long). Anyway, I love this client better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdArmor Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I don't I recently just uninstalled all my other clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeppal Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I use Utorrent as my primary client. But I use bittornado to superseed as it is more aggressive. Hopefully in the future, superseed in Utorrent can be improved so I can make it my only client. What is Azureus? What is Bitcomet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I still used BitComet right up until 1.2 (ie: DHT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kupotek Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I've tried utorrent a few times but it hasn't performed in a way that has pulled me away from using Azureus yet, so for the time being I am still using Azureus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomZ Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Been using utorrent, and only utorrent since 1.1.5? maybe .4 dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kupotek Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Just transported all my torrents to Utorrent to give it another try, and so far so good.Personal experience thus far in utorrent's favour:1. Creates torrents faster then Azureus2. Takes 1/10 the ram of Azureus3. Takes 1/10 the handles and GDI of Azureusvery nice. if this keeps up i will never go back to Azureus.

Teloriun Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 ...i still have several clients on my PC, but only use them if i get some connection error with uTorrent - just to confirm its the torrent/tracker and not the client Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon-boy Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 ...i still have several clients on my PC, but only use them if i get some connection error with uTorrent - just to confirm its the torrent/tracker and not the client Me too. Pre 1.2, I used to use a little trick to get peers if the tracker was down, load the torrent in Az, let it run a couple of minutes to get my IP in the peers' memory, then switch back to µTorrent. Worked a charm, but obviously totally unnecessary now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid32 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I still use Rufus at home.. But then im anal and like to check my torrents at work and school. It also let me add torrents from afar.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaSteve Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 i still currently use azureus for certain torrents due to the DHT on µtorrent not being all that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocK Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 started out with BitComet. never can get it to download fast and stable. find its good for private tracker only.try out BitSprit next. very nice GUI. options not user friendly. didnt gave it real test.heard the hype about uTorrent. small and plain exe file. try it, tweaked it, customized it, like it, keeping it. tho uTorrent is young and growing, i do miss some features other clients have uTorrent dont (maybe not yet) have.its staying as my primary client, downloading large torrent. while flirting with other new clients like BitPump etcfrom this forum im getting the feeling most hate Azureus. never got to test it, might just try it out so i know why all the bad feelings towards it.so will be waiting for the next upgraded uTorrent ver. hoping most of those miss features slowly coming in, doing that will only knock out the rest.. keep it up uTorrent =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kupotek Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Azureus works very well Rock, itjust takes more resources to run then Utorrent, but in today's age that's not a problem for most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is Bitcomet ?Amen to that, I would love for Super Seed to work a little better, speeds are quite low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixshot Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I usually have some sort of backup client. But lately I haven't been using ABC as a backup nor BitTornado. It seems nowadas I've been doing virtually everything with uTorrent -- leech, seed, bandwidth scheduling, modify max up for gaming. I dunno what situation I have to be in to make me fall back to using something else. Then again, I have refused to use Azureus for a long, long time now and have stood by BitTornado and ABC as the client of choice. Discovering uTorrent pretty much saved me a bunch of hassle. ABC is still installed right now. But I haven't uninstalled it yet. Just too lazy to actually do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechR Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I still use Bitcomet for the Unicode filenames. Once uTorrent gains that feature, I'll be able to switch over completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackLion Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 for me seeding has been a bit slow in 1.2x so I use Bitcomet for that, also the torrents that µT makes are not accepted by a certain private tracker *multi-tracker announce?* I will post more about that in the bug forum. Other than that its µT fo teh win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acd Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I love it, except for two details:- It lacks proper disk-caching. This is a killer when downloading at 800+KB/s, I can't do anything hard drive intensive at the same time.- The annoying creation of files marked as 'Don't download' (Yes, I know that by using sparse files this can be avoided. It's still a bug. BC does it correctly.)Until this two issues are fixed, I'll stick with BitComet. (Will change in a heartbeat when they are.)

juju Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I divide my torrents between utorrent ... and bitcomet (still waaaayyyyy better for busy/unconnectable chinese trackers, so I suppose it has something to do with DHT implementation or peer exchange) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Azureus works very well Rock, itjust takes more resources to run then Utorrent, but in today's age that's not a problem for most people.That's basically it, I won't deny that feature-wise Azureus is a 'better' client. However, most people here value a resource-friendly program and that's why they're using µT (and why they don't like Azureus). Personally, I can live with Azureus, but since µT works so well with such minimal resources, I don't use Azureus anymore. µT's speed is enough to warrant ditching the extra features in Azureus for me anyday.

Kupotek Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Agreed. I finally made the switch to µT last night, and so far no complaints. Amazing work1/80 the size1/10 the RAM useage1/10 the handles and GDI useageNo Java dependencyIt's a beautiful thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
