BitTorrent is a network of file exchanges in which speeds can reach up to 500 kbps. I was wondering which clients you guys use, such as Azureus, BitComet, BitTornado, etc.

Azureus lets me download my linux torrents quickly.

Thanks, I'm looking for something safe and fast.

*BUMP*

I think there is a thread on what Program you use......


I use Limewire....highest I've gotten up to is around 200 kb's...

I've been looking at Azureus and Bitcomet.

BitLord all the wat =]

quote the kyro never more

i use Bitlord

Does anyone recommend Bitcomet or Azureus? Also, can this do any damage to your computer when you download at high speeds? Because I read that it could edit your read/write frequency to prevent hard drive damage... and I don't want it to do that. I think that's only if it's over 500 kbps, though.

Hard drives can generally read/write data faster than you can download data, so you shouldn't have a problem.

i use bitcomet cuz there's some unknown problem with azeurus and my comp..

Is there plain old BitTorrent?

yep, Bram Cohen's original client.

Good God, no one else is a ABC Bit Torrent user. I also use BitLord sometimes. LimeWire has BitTorrent in it, wow.... Too bad bear share does not....

Azuerus... java lags like an old woman without any legs

I like to use Burst! its a pretty good program.

I use Azureus, but I used to stick with the original BitTorrent just because of the extra 5 second loading time it took for Azureus...until I later realized that the amount of time I spent resuming separate torrent files surpassed Azureus' loading time..so yea.

Azureus was faster, but after a few days it had done some irreparable damage....

so I use bitcomet and now cry about how I don't get 700 connections anymore

but it has its own webbrowser for d/ling torrents!

i use the normal one. no client. my max kbs was 100 or so. But now it's 50 because i'm connected through a router. I forwarded ports, but it's still slow. Is there a way to make it faster. I heard my friends goes up to 300kbs and he is connected through router also.

Omigod someone finally mentioned BearShare!!

For linux i use azureus as it is java. For windows, I'd use bitspirit, you can change a lot of custom settings to get 200k+/s on a broadband connection
