I'm pretty sure I already know what client will win this poll, but I was just curious as to what client people use for BitTorrents. I tried to put as many clients as I could find (most Ive never heard of), but if its other please post!
if ABC supports swarming, I was never able to find it. I find that with the same number of connections, on average, azureus is much much much faster. I'm talking 10x
ok i think i'll have to test out some of these to see if i like them.
Who voted other??? the whole point of this thread is for me to know what people have to say about the clients, and post which ones they use (obviously).
I used to use ABC. Then I got Azureus, and never looked back. Whoever whines about memory usage needs their head checked. 30 megs, with 100+ torrents open? You're whing about that?! I have 512 total and 30-40 doesn't bother me one bit. It's better now with 2.3.whatever now, too. it's down to 12 with 40 torrents going. I love it.
as far as I was aware, bittorrent.com was owned/run by the guy who invented bittorrent
ok - if you click on that link, it goes to sourceforge which is all open-source projects. on that page are older downloads of your BitTorrent client software.

what are you talking about? If you see my screenshot, the giant red box I circled, doesnt go to sourceforge or anything like that, it downloads the bittorrent client from that site, the one I've been talking about the whole time....
the link below all those buttons says "click for source an older version" goes to sourceforge and has the source...or older versions of the same client I've been talking about the whole time.
my only point being, I suppose that client is JUST called "bittorrent" and that is the particular one I use.
Wow. It might actually help if I had BT installed. I just realized it's been so long since I've used it that I've reformatted since and never thought once about reinstalling BT. That's not cool. :o

And all its java goodness
ABC is no muss, no fuss. It's as fast as any client, has a small footprint, and isn't as apt to bug to bug out as Azureus is.

every client has a name. there are many that you can download from bittorrent.com. If you dont see the name, simply vote other and then post it.
um nope.... theres only the one from that particular site
http://www.bittorrent.com/
lol i guess thats just some source project called BitTorrent
I used ABC. It was the first one I ever used and I've never had a reason to find a new client.
