    Just don't post links to illegal torrents and we're fine.

    BitTorrent clients aren't really games, so I would suggest that a mod to please move this to the Thema Devia.

    I agree with the others utorrent, especially because you can have version, which doesn't need to be installed, so you can move it anywhere.

    I have found that Bitlord is also good.
    And can a mod move this to the Basement.

    I use Bittornado.
    I find that it gives me the best speeds.

    I think you will find that the speed is the same in every other client.

    I use utorrent.

    Not really.
    I tried several different clients and bittornado gave me the best speeds by far.
    I went from average 100kb/sec to 800kb/sec by going to Bittornado.

    It's a matter of finding the optimum configuration.
    Setting maximum upload and download speed to about 80% of what your line can handle usually works much better than setting it to 100%.
    And having too few or too many connections can also have a big impact on performance.
    Some clients do this by default but others (like Azureus) you have to configure by hand.

    I don't think there are any differences in speed if you use the exact same configuration, except if CPU power becomes a bottleneck (ie: if you have a very fast internet connection on a slow computer).

    ps: I'm using utorrent after trying several others, and I'm loving it.

    Pretty much echoing Eriks post.

    I use uTorrent currently, and I have used them all. uTorrent is great because it has such a small footprint and isnt a system hog when running.

    If your very experienced then perhaps Azureus is a better choice, its also updated the most, but I have never liked it.

    If your a beginner than uTorrent or Bitcomet are the way to go.
