What's your choice?

    qBittorent is my choice: http://www.qbittorrent.org/
    It's a sort of clone/fork of uTorrent, except without all the crap they've been putting into it lately, such as facebook integration etc. That totally defeats the idea behind uTorrent anyways.

  • i always use µTorrent

  • laaevlaaev Member

    uTorrent

  • Are you asking to compare the clients or the protocols?

  • camargcamarg Member

    I'm using rtorrent

    I use uTorrent just because I've used it for years and Azure and all those other clients didn't work well with my first computer, I used Transmission on my Mac though when I had a Mac.

    uTorrent Server for me

    µTorrent user here :)

  • Deluge/Tixati definitely for me.

  • Deluge, rtorrent or Transmission for me

  • CoreyCorey Member

    i use utorrent, rtorrent, bittorrent... depends on which one I feel like downloading.

  • KairusKairus Member

    utorrent simply because I don't torrent very often so I haven't cared about the client as long as it gets things done :P. Now, usenet is a much different story, I <3 usenet.

    uTorrent and BitTorrent are basically the same.

    that, in fact i'd wager they're now exactly the same since the Bittorent company bought utorrent many moons ago, and last time I played with bittorent it looked and acted identical to utorrent. Personally i'd still go with utorrent though, it's kind on the disk, is fast, stable, and let's me grab linux and bsd distros in no time.

    Still doesn't change that it uses the BitTorrent protocol, besides preferring uTorrent clients, ofc.

    rtorrent + nice setup of watch and completed folders and there you go, Done.

    If you must have a pretty gui add rutorrent to the mix.

    very little ram, fast, supported by trackers etc.

  • Only thing that bugged me about rutorrent (been looking around for a web-based GUI frontend for the wife) is that there didn't seem to be a simple/efficient way to archive and download multiple files/directories at once. I ended up just sticking with rtorrent and scp/sftp.

    Transmission, both on my personal computer, and on my VPS. Can't really beat it.

    I use Tixati on both Linux and Windows (if I'm ever on a Windows box).

    If it's possible to configure something related to torrents, Tixati has an option for it. Bandwidth graphs per torrent per peer including per-peer throttling? Sure. Sequential download? Sure. Etc., etc., etc. It's seriously impressive.

    Some people may recognize the interface; it appears to be developed by the same guys that made WinMX in the past.

    uTorrent stomps all over Transmission.
