Azureus vs. µTorrent

[Baloki]

Torrenting is illegal, especially if your downloading Linux distros...

*closes*

So far, uTorrent seems to appeal to me more. I've been toying with both of them for the past couple of days but it was too close to call. :P Azureus seems kind of confusing. I like the simplicity of uTorrent, and now that you mention it, it does seem to be incredibly light on system resources. I think I'll stick with uTorrent.

Thanks for your input.

I use both

Azureus on my linux machine that's got plenty of RAM which hardly gets used since linux is so much less bloaty than Windows Plus I use it in console mode

I use an old version of utorrent on Windows though (1.5) - anything later than 1.6 I won't trust now as since that release, it's joined forces with the official bittorrent company so who knows what spying features/"data copy restrictions"/bloat and other hindrances it'll ship with in newer versions

I use...BitTorrent.

Azureus is only for people who like all the flashy extras which mean.......to be honest, nothing. I only use it because Blackcats usually have torrents only able to run with Azureus. Lame, but I have to deal with it. My prefered client is Bitlord, a very under-appreciated client.

I like all the flashy extras ;_; I like to see the swarm, how much of each file is left, what parts of the file I am downloading and other useless information. So much information.

I have used both though I prefer Azureus. At one point Azureus kinda just not working for me; every time I started it it would go to "not responding" so I switched to mu-Torrent. I liked it but I am more used to Azureus than mu-Torrent.

I really do not have a problem with Azureus eating at my memory. The only time it is noticeble is when a torrent finishes downloading and it is in the process of checking it before it seeds it. Besides that, I do not even have 1GB of RAM and I barely notice anything. Also if I start having download rate of like 500kb/s then I will notice something too, but yeah, for the most part it does not slow me down much.

Azureus FTW!

I use µTorrent and I get all of those things.

BitComet. <3 Protocol Encryption, since my ISP throttles BT.

[Magic Guy]

I use Azureus. I've never tried µTorrent; so I have no opinion as to wich one is better. I have no complaints with Azureus though.

[Roto13]

I used to use BitComet but I started having some pretty bad problems with it that I can't be assed to try to fix any more.

I like uTorrent. Simple and very functional. I like my RAM, as scarce as it may be, too.

bittornado

[Walshy.indeed]

What is a bitorrent anyways?
What do they do?

Someone please explain.

[Roto13]

They're for pornography.
