Your favorite for no reason?? Man, there are LOTS of reasons to favor uTorrent, my most beloved Bittorrent client ever -- and I've tried quite a few of them, I kid you not :-D

uTorrent is extremely slim, fast, and "system resources"-friendly. It has essentially all the features offered by any other torrent client, particularly the ability to select individual files to download from a given torrent -- a feature that not many other clients offer. Add to that a wealth of customization options and preferences, speedy downloads, accurate limiting of download and/or upload speeds, and what in my experience has been a never-crashing interface, and you probably will find no shortage of reasons to love this torrent client

Yep, you right Entheone, there are lots of reasons to choose this bittorent client. I used vuze (azureus) when I'm using linux, and use utorrent in my XP.

Mark me down as using uTorrent also. But I only use it to download all of those completely legal Linux distributions

The only feature I wish it had is an IP filter. I use a filter with my other p2p software and I would like to have the same protection with my torrents.

Im using uTorrent, because it's free, faster than the other clients. Im a big torrenter I download torrents like crazy from Zamunda.NET and Demonoid.com (sometimes from ThePirateBay).

Before i was using FlashGet but with some googling i found the better, faster, cooler choice. Best Regards

Sorry, but... I touched the topic title, I prefer "which torrent" instead of "who torrent". A torrent is often very smart, but this is not a person.

[DisabledTech]

I use uTorrent. I've always used it. It's got a small size, starts quick, downloads quick. The main reason I like it is it isn't bulky. There's no plugins to play around with, just simple install and go.

[hfbvm]

The best thing with it is it doesnt have the extra things ike vuze and limewire which make them heavy to run and also space consuming. It doesnt have many extra things which help it to be the best and fast torrent downloader.I love it.

On windows I always use µTorrent, simply because it does what it's supposed to do and nothing else but that. No frills, no fancy thingies, no useless features, just hardcore torrenting .

On Linux I use ktorrent simply because I don't bother finding another torrent client than the one installed with KDE (okay, not true, I first used kget with it's torrent plug-in but it miserably failed downloading a 170Mb file by wasting half an our getting the last 256kb of the file ... 5 minutes later Ktorrent finished the whole file )

[Quatrux]

I can say only that I'm also using µTorrent as it's very light, fast and has everything a torrent client needs, with no useless stuff. Usually I use it to download torrents, but sometimes I just use Opera as a torrent client if I just need to download a small file which is in a torrent form.

[surfermac]

i think utorrent and bit torrent are equally famous

[Eggie]

i started using uTorrent like 3 years ago i think,i always let it do it's job during the night or when i'm out....during the day i keep it closed cause it takes up all my bandwidth :S

[grim reaper1666]

if i use torrents the client i would use would be uttorrent, but because my isp stops the internet for that because they check the uploads and thats what uttorent does uploads as you download so bam after awhile the isp catches me and i lose my internet for a week, so i use megaupload and rapidshare intead they dont catch on to that.

thats how i cheat the system much better than any other way of doing things, it would be good if there was a way to stop them seeing my uploads (i ve try proxy i/ps they make the downloads go really slow so thats a no go.

[takerraj]

Your ISP is very strict Grim reaper1666. You are from which country? I am sure that you are not from India.

I use VUZE (Previously Azureus). It is very good and stable.

[willielwgg]

Currently use uTorrent, like most of the people here. It has a lot of more advanced features that not many other clients that I have used have. It hogs a lot of memory, which I don't like, however.

[starscream]

Looks like utorrent have lot of users. Yes, even i use utorrent. I think small and portability of client is the reason people using it. It is small as 800-900kb. It's pretty good on showing details as well. It shows trackers, transferred bytes, country flag of the seeders etc. Good with the details i must say.

Earlier i used Vuze, it was good too. But most of the times it crashed my system. I guess it was eating lot of memory of my system. I heard that now p2p sharing applications like edonkey, limewire are also starting to support torrrent files ? I'm not gonna revert back to limewire or any other p2p client, it brings so many virus files to my disk earlier. So sticking with Utorrent.

[willielwgg]

Limewire has had a BitTorrent client for a while, but I never use it. Limewire takes up a bunch of space as well as memory, so it is hard to surf the web while downloading files or running a torrent.

[starscream]

Yes. Limewire takes a lot of system resource. It is java based application, so it is kinda obvious that it'll use. I think kazza also started with torrent support. But kazza network failed to stop the malware spreaders. I don't know what is the status of kazza now. But earlier it was very famous. Now a days people use edonkey network and bearshare. Some ISP in some of the countries have torrent blocked so edonkey (even if it's p2p) can access network. I heard from my friend online that he managed to work with edonkey where his torrent is blocked by ISP. I guess ISP checks p2p client requests and blocks based on that. In that case, edonkey survived somehow.

[Eggie]

i use both vuze and utorrent...i changed in order to see how well vuze does...but i think utorrent is still best...
slim fast,many options

Thanks...Eggie
