Best BitTorrent client/program?

[njshadow]

I'm just starting to get into torrents and I'm looking for a good torrent program. What do you guys think is the best?

[magunwarrior]

What operating system do you use?

I use OS X and use Azureus.

[njshadow]

I've got Windows XP. Can you get Azeurus without "signing up" because it used to be on Revision3 but now it's gone.

[njshadow]

Yesssssssss. Thanks a ton.

[magunwarrior]

No problem ;)

[phatlip12]

What operating system do you use?

I use OS X and use Azureus.

I use OS X and also use Azureus. Utorrent is pretty popular as well, you may want to look into that as well.

[njshadow]

Great, Thanks.

[magunwarrior]

Hmm, I may try that out on my Windows machine, thanks for the tip Phatlip :D

Is your name phatlip because you dip? Hahahahaha.

[jjallday]

I like UTorrent as well, though I believe the BitTorrent company just bought it and are sure to ruin it.

Ew, no way.

I came up with the name a long time ago when I was trying to come up with a screen name for AIM. Everything I put in was taken so I thought of something crazy (Phatlip12) and it was available. It's been my online alias ever since...

LOL

Mines the same except it was for Xbox Live, and when I was into anime...those were some sad sad days....

Ah. I see.

I use Azureus. It does the job as well as any program. It does seem a bit bloated though.

You have to love the RSS feed support.

[samureye]

You have to love that utorrent can fit on a floppy, you have to love it can do RSS too.

Hahahahaha...Like other torrent clients don't do RSS....

[phatlip12]

He never said other clients didn't ;)

Though, I do believe it was a pioneer in this...

[magunwarrior]

Have some Ritalin.

[klitzy]

There are 4 that I use.

Flashget - Downloads faster than any of my other clients, my #1 choice

Micro Torrent - Gives me better stats on my torrent status, my #2 choice

Bit Tornado - Smaller UI one window for each download, simplest to use, my #3 choice

Azureus - Bloated with java and annoying updates, use as a last resort, my #4 choice

[tokenuser]

Another vote for Azureus (on XP), but you do need the Java Runtime Engine (JRE) installed for it to run (not a problem for me - I run a java dev environment on my laptop).

Bloated? Maybe ...uTorrent is about the smallest I have found, but who cares if it can fit on a floppy? Seriously ... is this really a selling point?

I occassionally use the BT client built in to Opera as well.

Bit Tornado is good too, I use it on my Windows machine.

They update their software? That IS annoying! Damn them!

Annoying like Windows updates.

[masherscf]

Annoying like Windows updates.

Because having up-to-date software is so bothersome.

If you like windows so much....Why don't ya marry it?

Windows doesn't return my affection. Every time I'm in the mood, I get a blue screen...

That one was photoshopped. The stickers said something else on them.

[jasonlee]

I use BitTornado. It works fine for me so I never had a reason to try anything else.
