dewy Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Well since Azureus is to fat to even run on my computer uTorrent gets my vote, its a much nicer program to use over the official client :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d70 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 honestly I am still convinced that azureus still downloads faster at this point. however it eats memory like a fat homie eating 10 half-pound burgers. uTorrent is light and the download speed is reasonably fast.

Karasuhebi Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Your asking for a vs. with Azureus and µTorrent in THE µTorrent forum, hm...I wonder who's winning the battle? =PTry doing this poll in the Azureus forum to see what happens. ;-)-Karasuhebi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helloworld45 Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Surely, the speed of the download has more to do with Seed to Peer ratio than client-- MoodyAre you and Martine implying that client has no effect on download speeds?

chaosblade Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Voted for uTorrent as indeed it gave me the best performance for a certain torrent (aka, on low seeded torrents, i got decent speeds as much as possible from those seeds, and on very well seeded torrents, i got blazing speeds of over 100kB/s on a maximum 180kB/s connection, thats good enough for me).But there are alot of factors beyond the client's control deciding on speed.

JColton Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I Can't Speak For Azureus but BitComet is *much* faster for me then uTorrent. I've tweaked uT every way possible but I find it just doesn't like to connect to enough seeds to get great download speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeppal Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 For me 3 things are impt.1. Good speeds2. Able to distribute bandwidth between uploads and downloads evenly or as specified3. And if possible not hog my mem usage1 and 2 more important. Only Azureus and Bittornado could satisfy 1 and 2. Bitcomet was pathetic at number 2. Bitspirit had too many functions, i like a simple and fast client. The rest of the clients were too slow or i just didnt fancy. Till i met UTORRENT! Satisfied all 3 conditions. Woohoo!

TheGooseyOne Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 i got much, much faster speeds in azureus...like not even closefor example, im running a torrent right now in utorrent with 347 seeds in the swarm, yet utorrent only connects to 17 of them...and thats the highest its been with this torrent running for hours now! i tried the torrent in azureus, and within 15 seconds it had already connected to 24.....why does utorrent hate seeds so much?it makes me angry to look in the peer list and see poeple d/ling at like 175k/s and 248k/s and yet im getting like 30k/s tops! whats your guys' secrets? (btw, im running on a 3mbit connection with 128kbit down, have upload locked to 20kB/s, up conections at 4, port at 6881 and it is open....what more can i do!)

Apothos Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Yep, nice speed with uTorrent and Azureus, but uTorrent wins hands-down for low CPU, etc. I first used Azureus, then BitComet. Until I installed NOD-32, Azureus worked very well. Seems to be a conflict with Az. & NOD. Anyway, I wanted to get away from BitComet because it is known as a leeching client. Glad I found uTorrent - Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veneficus Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Normally uTorrent is faster for me, but with some torrents Azureus is faster because I get more peers through DHT. Once we get DHT here, it'll be goodbye to Azureus forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGooseyOne Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 yeah...this is sucking...getting 40k/s MAXIMUM on a torrent on utorrent...around 8-20k/s average....but when i put it into Azureus, Azureus starts sucking memory up and CPU cycles like crazy, making my CPU run at higher load than when i am playing AOE3 or BF2! bittorrent really has its ups and downs....i really wish i could get good speeds in utorrent, i love how little memory and cpu it takes up....

jroc Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I downloaded openoffice (74MB) using both clients from the same site. Azureus was faster (1Mbps max) than uTorrent (960k+ max). Since I got the file in under 2 minutes using each client, to me the speeds offset each other. It was equal, cuz the ETA was the same. (I used each one seperately, of course)You need to put an option on the poll for "equal" or "same."Especially looking at my results.........But I did vote Azureus faster. Cuz technically, it was faster. (that dont mean Im going back to that damn blue frog tho.......lol)*Altho at one private site I got a 1.3GB file in 1hr 30 min using uTorrent. The fastest using the frog was 2hr 30 min-3hr 30min. (they have 1GB+ files on the reg and I been a member for almost a year using the frog)openoffice I got from a plubic place.Since when did the download speed depend on the client?Some clients have a built in work around for the XP SP2 tcp issue. uTorrent might not. So some of u having speed issues may have to use the tcp patch. Especially when I see ppl saying "uTorremt doesnt connect to enuff seeders/peers but BitComet does". BitComet is one client I know of that has a tcp work around built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jroc Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 well after tweaking a lil more, I got uTorrent to max at 1Mbps too on openoffice like Azureus did.......So its a real tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo2finatic Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 i dont get it, really now i might sound dumb but i switched from azureus and i get the same speeds. your downlaod speeds depend upon the seed in which gives you your bandwith. for ex:bad seed with bad upload speed=bad download speed. fast upload seed=fast download for u.in my example i am inferring that u are connectable already.(port forwarding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huck Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 I didn't vote. I tried every bt client i was able to find and all they gave me my max. I don't think there's a big difference among bt clients in dl/ul speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexsteele Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 For me i would say that uTorrent is faster because i have gotten speeds that i couldnt get on Azureus. Although the speeds you get depend on the speed of your Internet connection, uTorrent does it for me with its low mem usage and its ease of use.
