Which one do you guys like the best? I'm using BitComet right now, but I'm trying to see if there is anything better.

Azureus and BitComet are the best.

You should search for the torrent websites...those are the goldmines.

What do you mean search for the torrent websites? I have several good ones I use, but I was just trying to figure out which client would give me the best speeds. BitComet seems to run a bit slower than what I'm used to. But the strange thing is that I was using BitLord before and that is a ripoff of BitComet.

Try Azureus, I use that more often than BitComet.

I like azureus since I can use it on both Windows and Linux. I haven't noticed any speed differences between the ones I've tried.

I'm running only 256 MBs of RAM on this machine, and what I've read about Azureus being a hog scares me. We'll see though, I may try it out.

I just recently switched from bittorrent to bitspirit and it is a huge difference. The connections bitspirit give me are almost always 3 or 4 times as fast as bittorrent.

Azureus is a huge resource hog. Then again, if you're downloading and uploading at a decent speed any bittorrent client should hog a lot of resources.

Never had any problems with azureus or bit tornado. If I only download one file then bittornado. Go to http://www.torrentz.com/ for a firefox plugin to search for torrents.

Hey Kori on page 3 of another forum someone posted a link for how to get to America w/o a green card, That is illegal also, can you do something about it?

I will scan the rest of the topics to make sure this type of activity does not happen again,

Simmer down Spanky, you have no clue what the hell you're talking about. DO some research before you start screaming fire.

For it to be illegal it the (URL and server) would have to host the actual files. It is a search engine, same as Google except it searches torrents.

Azureus seems to be the fastest (at least by my experience), but i don't like because it takes a lot of RAM (i think ~50MB just the program) - major hog!

Manny, they (whoever they are) say be very careful on the Bittorrent thing. That the virus guys like to slip their stuff in on downloads. Even on some of the legit sites. One of their favorite ways. :depressed

Anti-American!!!!!!!!!!!!

i bet you hate the war in iraq too!

Ya, I actually do hate the war in Iraq, because it does not and will not effect me, and probably never would have affected me. The goal in that war has changed so often, it is mindboggling.

And if being anti-american constitutes getting free programs and stuff online, I am all for it.

Dude I have no beer in the fridge, I still owe LJ 50 bucks for the NBA Fantasy , and I have only 5 days to save my Randy Moss Rookie jersey from the pawn shop,

Dear RIAA and MPAA - In the spririt of free markets and economic growth (mine), I am downsizing all of your artists, and outsourcing my music, gaming and video needs. Thanks. I'm sure your labels and gaming companies, as large corporations, will understand, having done this themselves. If not, they can go fuck themselves.
