You're missing out if you use Shareaza for torrents, better clients like Azureus (not tried ABC) will let you prioritise the files within the torrent, so you can grab just one without having to wait for the whole thing to download.

Another azureus user here although it really bugs me that it can't be run as a background process. According to the BBC website the bit torrent network is on borrowed time and many p2p sharers are switching to eMule and back to gnutella (remember gnutella?)

edonkey apparently is where people are switching...
thats the people not on newsgroups though I guess...

I use ABC, does the job.

**Lish** · 02-09-2005, 07:31 PM

I use bit tornado

**Dav0s** · 02-09-2005, 07:34 PM

i still cant maintain decent speeds with my torrents, but whe i could i used azeurus and bitcomet

Bit tornado, I hate any JAVA P2P stuff with a passion. Lime wire was horrific, and I wont try anything else since that. Bit Tornado allows file within package queuing, bandwidth options, and a few other things. It's fine for me.

ONly resource I noticed it hogged was bandwidth. Well the other users on my network do anyway ! hah !

I have noticed the other BT Client on Sourceforge. Quite eager to try it also.

Well I use Bitlord v1.1 (http://www.bitlord.com/), compared with the obeise and overly moany Azureus its simply godlike.

Its fast, seamless, download torrents in chunks (if supported by the torrent), resource friendly (especially compared with Azureus) I'd happily recommend this one to anybody.

And its also noticeably bug-free (perhaps there are bugs but they're not noticeable tbh).

ABC.

Random restarts/BSOD's due to it suck, but its the most familiar client to me/I prefer it to the others I've tried, so I'll have to put up with them.

**dangel** · 13-09-2005, 09:02 AM

I've switched to BitComet and i like it - my system feels so fast now i got rid of that Azureus java-crap

**Wiczy** · 13-09-2005, 09:14 AM

Azureus..running on it's own machine it can use all the resources it likes. It's not the most popular BT client because it's crap

But tbh newsgroups are far better. BT is handy for the odd file now and again.

Yes, just like the Sun newspaper is the best because it's the most popular..

**BlackDwarf** · 13-09-2005, 09:29 AM

Same as Wiczy. It has its own computer in my wardrobe (see fileserver in my sig).

Azureus all the way (providing you have spare resources of course)
