| Torrent downloader
What should I use? I've been using BitTorrent for who knows how long, but I find that it slows down the rest of my computer when I use it, so looking for something a little quicker.
Any suggestions?

Got uTorrent, I like the interface more then BitTorrent, Thanks
Wow, there is a HUGE speed boost from BitTorrent, on BT I was getting maybe 50kb/sec with uTorrent, I'm getting 250-350/kb on the same torrent.
Downloading with peaks of 550kb/sec now....WOOT

utorrent is great because it doesn't kill your resources....
Azureus was killing mine...

I was using ABC for while and it slowed my old comp down bigtime, i ended up trying uTorrent because a couple people recommended it and it works WAYYYYYY better. Doesn't use up as many resources.

utorrent is really the only torrent app you should be using for torrents.
the old ones don't cut it anymore: abc, bittornado.
Also BitComet is banned by many trackers and private torrent sites.

I'm still using BitComet... haven't really found a reason to switch.
For those that have used both BitComet and uTorrent, what's the major differences besides BitComet being banned from some trackers?

utorrent uses a lot less resources than other types of downloaders
azureus just uses too much resources and for me it checks torrents everytime i start it up

Most people use Azureus or uTorrent. The fact I didn't need to use Java with uTorrent made it an easy choice.
