I use bit tornado. I used to use ABC, but it was all just bloatware to me. It has a nice kazaa-like interface where you can prioritize multiple torrenst to get more bandwidth and such. I never have more than 1 or 2 torrents open at a time so this didn't make much sense to me.

I'm stickin with bit tornado.

yeah, that is what looked neat to me...

i often have many torrents open, cuz i am not big into the b&p thing, so whenever a DVD or audio i dont have come up i am right on it.

i like bit tornado just fine, i was just wondering what everyone else thinks...


thanks for your help :)

If you typically have multiple torrents open, go with ABC (simple) or Azureus (more complicated). If not, stick with what you've got.

I have tried the original Bit Torrent client, Bit Tornado, and ABC. The 1st two were very featureless so I use ABC because of the capability to have a number open and pause and queue them and see what the progress of everything is. Helps to resume seeding of something finished too. Maybe you can do that with the others but beats me if so. I didn't try Azeurus after reading several times it was a resource hog and recommendations against it if you have an old PC.

ABC uses less resources than any other client. It's also the easiest to use with the most features. Just try it and see for yourself.

Tried 'em all. This one's the best. As to resource usage: On low-end machines yo umight actually notice a difference, but on middle- to high-end machines, the noticable differences are small to nonexistent.
