Bittorrent Client?

[ja3h]

Hey guys,

Just wondering what client you guys are using?

I used to use burst which was great and simple..
Then used azereus which was v.resource consuming!
And i now use abc but some torrents seem to make my pc randomly restart

I use the 3.4.2 version of 'BitTorrent'. It is old, and opens each download in its seperate window. Sure, for some this may be annoying, but as I only download the odd file or two, I find it much more managable and simplistic

I use Sharezaa, never had any problems. Seems to work on loads of p2p networks. Works as an ed2k and gnutella client too.

I like Azureus cos I have 2GB of RAM and a big page file

I also have Java locked down so it doesn't escape (whips are always useful)

g3torrent on windows, for historical reasons

I fecking hate azureus but use it anyway as it's the most featured client. Lardy Java sh!t

Yep another Azureus user here, even with more than adequete system resources it still slows everything down.

Aside from the restarts how do you find ABC in comparison to Azureus as I want to try another BT client but am just so used to Azureus.

I like azureus' visual stuff and the options to set priorities and dnd files and so on.

Azureus user here, but as Pyle said it uses Java, and eats resources like an obese McDonalds addict

[dangel]

There's a few up-and-coming C++ clients which feature queueing and mangement like Azureus but last time I looked (a few months back) they were all in early stages. I might well have another look around because, as someone said, azureus eats systems alive regardless of RAM available. JAVA has it's place in the world, but not as a 'compact' download client.

Well i uninstalled it and reinstalled haven't been getting any restarts!
I used azereus for a couple of months but got frustrated when i had to restart to play a game! So i use abc now, in my opinion it has all the features of azereus without the extreme use of resources, one thing i did miss about azereus is the test port when i was setting it up. But i suggest you at least give it a try! Best one i've found so far!

Cheers for that, I'm reinstalling my O/S over the weekend so will definately give it a try it'd be nice to be able to use my pc for more than just downloading.

I use Shareaza, which seems to work fine esspecially with resumimg downloads for us poor 56ker. Worth a look but i have no doubt there maybe other better clients.
