Very, very nice index Mavol. I know I will refer to this frequently.

Which is the fastest? I use Azureus but it consumes a lot of memory so I want to change.

BitComet is probably the best resource-wise.

Download speeds remain the same though

[RoDrAs]

should i change from azureus to bitcomet?

[Lite]

Its upto you weather you switch or not...

I suggest you try the client if you like it - stick to it.

I say you try it. I like it personally.

[Exodus]

i prefer azureus. bit torrent itself is kind of plain but very minimal system use. The web based bittorent thing is to much work in my opinion. bitcomet is also pretty plain with minimal system use.

@ Mavol

wow! Those are some killer download/upload speeds on Rufus. How are you connected to so many people? Sometimes I have a problem connecting to a lot of seeds.

Its not actually mavols pic . Its from rufus.sf.net.

[RoDrAs]

wow, thx for the suggestion! bitcomet is fantastic!

[Lite]

Glad to here you like it .

Another client to try is Artic torrent, it one of the lightest clients around and doesnt look but ugly either. However it doesnt have all the fancy features bitcoment has.

Its all about the client you like the most however.

Have you tried G3Torrent ?

[krazytim]

G3torrent has the most features out of all of the clients I have ever tried. I love it.

[RoDrAs]

Yes, I have. lol, I'm always changing clients... I think I'll stick with g3.

Yet lacks MANY "essential" features

[NightStalker]

I've heard BitComet has a few errors that they won't correct with private trackers.

Enlighten me on this... I havn't really noticed anything missing. Keep in mind I don;t really upload torrents, so I am talking about downloading strickly.

[Lite]

Not UPNP compatible, no ip filter, doesnt support UDP tracker specification (afaik), doesnt use a single port.

More if i could be bothered to think.

Edit: Night, there is a "fix" for that avialible

[Mavol]

Added G3 Torrent.
Removed Torrent Storm (project closed).
