Torrent Clients...which one?

Which torrent clients do you use other than the bog-standard Bittorrent?

I wanna try em out and see which one actually works as a fully fledged torrent downloader.






And nobody should recommend Novatorrent

Re: Torrent Clients...which one?

Thanks for the links skiddy, Stew and ChubbyChecker.

Got 4 different clients now. I already tried ot the bittorrent and the experimental version. My verdict:
BOTH CRAP!

Dont bother with them unless you want to download one file overnight.

What connections speeds do most of you downloaders have anyway? Mine is 128kb/s

Re: Torrent Clients...which one?

The more windows you have open the slower the download rate. So it works best if there is one file/folder being downloaded at a time.

Re: Torrent Clients...which one?

I have come to a conclusion on two of the clients:

Azureus=HELL NO! Total trash.

Bittornado=Pretty good as a client cos the dl rate stays almost the same at a nice high level. Also works well with 5-10 simultaneous downloads.

I'll give a review of the rest when I have finished downloading the current games, appz and tracks.

Re: Torrent Clients...which one?

From installation to the fact that its a shitty java client. DL rate is WAY to crap and functions hardly work at all.

Can you explain why Slipknot v3 with only 5 seeds and no peers gives a high DL with Bittornado and a low DL with Azureus? Can you?

Re: Torrent Clients...which one?

you can limit your upload rate, you get good download rates (depending on the source,ofc), what else could anyone want ?
