If like me you find azureus laggy and bulky and slow, try uTorrent. I was using Rufus until the other day, but uTorrent is even better. Downloading from 5 torrents at approx 500KB/s, it's using just 8KB memory compared to Azureus which used to use 200-300KB.

Yeah, thats the one im using now, its sooo small and dont use alot of resources.. the only good thing about azureus is that it supports different plugins if you are using them, but I dont think anybody here do anyway..

Most torrent site reccomend utorrent aswell

Yeah. I thought they were all recommending it because they were getting money to do so, but then independent reviewers say uTorrent is best.

Yeah those are the only 3 clients that the torrent community supports as the others ones report bad data etc, just remember to always have the latest stable version

I used to use bittorando all the time but I switched to bitcomet awhile ago and not looked back, it works great for me, and you can decide on what you want to download in a torrent.

Yup, bitcomet is banned though from "Ratio based" sites:

" BitComet: Very very popular client but EVERY version reports bad stats to the tracker and many leak to DHT."

I'm not on any ratio bases sites so Im fine.

for a long time it was a case of you got eveything in the torrent or nothing, Im sure it was bitcomet that was one of the first ones to allow you to select what file you want to get in a torrent.
