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?

you mean as a downloading program for torrents or an alternative to torrents?
uTorrent is pretty good

[_Hotsauce_]

Downloading program; I love my torrents :)

[lilaznviper]

utorrent is the best

[.Renn.Sport]

bitcomet

utorrent.

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...

[LsquareD]

I've used Bitcoment, Azureus and uTorrent.

uTorrent works best for me

[Armind]

uTorrent with customized settings FTW

I've been using uTorrent until I made the switch to newsgroups.

im using Vuze. I was using Bittorrent and ya, it was slowing down my computer.

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.

i use azureus

[way2quik]

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.

[InvisibleSoul]

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?

[Grandmaster TSE]

i've been using utorrent for a while now
love it way more than bitcomet

[InvisibleSoul]

i've been using utorrent for a while now
love it way more than bitcomet
But why?

[viper11885]

utorrent or azureus.

[Cman333]

Curious why some trackers ban the use of bitcomet?

[Grandmaster TSE]

But why?

i find it connects to trackers better and allows more customization than bitcomet
plus the whole banned issue with bitcomet

[MikeyStyle]

uTorrent is pretty good
i also suggest using µtorrent

[lilaznviper]

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

[Razor Ramon HG]

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

[Jer3]

i use to use azureus but then it was a major resource hog. switched over to utorrent and never looked back.

[RCubed]

vuze

[hotjoint]

i might try u torrent, my brother uses that

Because of this (http://www.slyck.com/news.php?story=1021)

Okay, after using uTorrent for the past couple of days... I'll have to say that it definitely does seem to be better than BitComet.

It does connect to way more seeds and peers than BitComet. Many torrents that took me a couple days to even get to like 20%, after switching it over to uTorrent, it started downloading almost immediately and finished it within hours.

:werd: I was using azerus before switching to utorrent. Utorrent is so much better.

[ime2006]

uTorrent for sure!!
faster than ever now.

[keitaro]

utorrent hands down

[bossxx]

Wow lots of utorrent lovers. I might have to replace my bit comet soon :p
