    Question what bit-torrent client for vista?

    i've tried utorrent and abc and both keep not responding at various times now i'm unsure as to if this is becomes of my overclock or just vista being silly? seeing as its prime95 stable for 24 hrs and runs crysis and all games smoothly without stacking:S
    so basically what client?
    not azureus as i hate this Vuze thing its annoying.
    i just want simplistic with queuing functions and no extra all-in-one additions like vuze is.
    cheers
    oh and links

    Good riddance. Wish I'd done it about a year ago.

    You can get Azureus without the Vuze

    uTorrent working fine on Vista x64 here. If your overclock is causing an application to not respond I'd lay off a little - nobody should really overclock past something that you can Orthos test as stable (and if it passes that... uTorrent shouldn't be causing a hang so I'd be looking elsewhere)

    Definitely uTorrent, if it's not stable then your system isn't stable.

    utorrent, responding as in a hang or just slow speeds or stopping altogether? shouldnt be crashing like that. do a test and see how it fares with no overclock.

    I'm using BitTornado, was very surprised to find it works with Vista but it does and with quick download rates.

    They work for some and don't for others. In my previous machine BitComet used to rule, then I tries Utorrent, but Azureus works on it better (XP)!

    On my laptop it's Utorrent that likes to work (vista).

    Just try each one and give it a day (you know how traffic is slowed until a certain time)

    uTorrent seems to work best on Vista when connecting through a Netgear router!
