| What BitTorrent Client Do You Use? The first client I ever used was Bram Cohen's BitTorrent in 2002. In 2003 I moved to TorrentStorm by Stormblade and stuck with it in till 2005. Then I switched to µTorrent. |

| µTorrent, from the start to end. |
| 'Comet. Been using it for a while and too lazy to switch. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I use utorrent. I used to use bittornado, but it kept making my computer reset. So I switched to utorrent and I've been using that ever since. |
 |
| Used to use BitLord, switched to µTorrent a long time ago and never really looked around again. |
 |
| I use Deluge even though it sucks up to many resources. Once i get my own internet connection I plan on setting me up an automated command line copy of orginal BT. so i don't have to waste my time actually messing with torrents =D |
I’ve found it!” Tas said reverently. “A holy artifact!” He held it to the light. “The Kender Spoon of Turning.” “Are you sure?” Usha leaned forward, examined it closely. “It looks like the spoons we used last night at dinner. It’s even got strawberry jam on it.” “Don’t be frightened, Usha, but that’s blood,” said Tas solemnly. “It’s the Kender Spoon of Turning. I’d know it anywhere. My Uncle Trapspringer carried one with him all the time....” |
| Oringal BT --> Bittornado --> utorrent |
 |
| Normal BitTorrent, I don't really see a reason to switch. |
| Last time I used BitTorrent, it only downloaded one at a time. Or maybe I had an old one? Or the settings were wrong? Whatever. utorrent ftw~ |
| Tomato Torrent! or Transmission. ...neither of which are in your poll :B |
| I use Azureus, the first client besides the original client that could run on mac and back then the original client only let you download one thing at a time which was a pain. My options were limited and it hasn't let me down yet. |
 |
| I went from Bittornado to Bitlord to Bitcomet and now I'm using uTorrent. Definitely the best out of those four. |
| I've been trying out a lot but µtorrent is simply the best. |

| started with bitlord and never had a reason to change |
 |
| azureus and or utorrent, depending on what mood im in ^^ |
 |
| Started with BitComet... it bugged at some point and I lost some pretty big download. Then I changed to uTorrent and I'm using it 'til now. |
     |
| Using two client right now,Utorrent and Azureus. Utorrent - for hostel tracker Azureus - for torrenting outside via VPN(need this to bypass the proxy server here) |
     |
| Bitlord, never had problems with it. |
 |
| Started with BitTorrent, when I learned more about what torrents is and realized how much BitTorrent sucks I changed to Azureus. Pretty okay, actually, but then I changed to µTorrent and it owns. I'm not planning to change back to Azu or something new. |
| Started with ABC went to Bitlord now using Utorrent and Utorrent is far superior to both of those two. |
     |
| i use bitlord i like the interface and the name rocks too |

| uTorrent is guud. Never will use anything else. ;D |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| BitTornado. Was introduced to torrents by someone who recommended it, and now I have some clue what's going on, I like the options and see no reason to change. What's so good about µtorrent? Never used it, just curious. |
| Easy to use, doesn't hog resources like some other torrent clients... *cough cough* eh, I'm sure there are other reasons... anyone? |

| µtorrent, Its smaller in size and takes less memory. |

| utorrent (hey how to make that 'u' symbol on u torrent?) this stuff really small and reliable (maybe, because I never use another, I just try it and feel comfortable with performance) PS: but I never get green connection, always yellow, but the connection still good, it said my port is not forwarded, and kind of confusing thing to forward it, kind of you should open it from your router stuff, what is router? I only know little thing called modem next on my laptop, what ever, my anime still downloading smoothly. |

| i started with plain old BitTorrent and then my friend recommended µTorrent. i worship him on holy ground now, the switch from BT to µTorrent was like the switch from IE to firefox XD ok, maybe not THAT drastic, but you get the idea :P |
| If I absolutely NEED the advanced settings, Ill use Azureus. If I don't, then ill definately fire up µTorrent. The memory usage just isnt worth it for general downloading, lol. |
| I voted for 'I Don't Use BitTorrent' |

| Bitcomet for years now. |

Chavez said: I voted for 'I Don't Use BitTorrent' I put that there cause I know there are some peaple that would avoid Torrents at all costs. |

ZinnKid said: Chavez said: I voted for 'I Don't Use BitTorrent' I put that there cause I know there are some peaple that would avoid Torrents at all costs. Then that option does not apply to me. I have had a RapidShare account for a while (no i never paid for it, it was a shared one), after that i used BitComet for a while, and now i'm totally addicted to newsgroups (GrabIt, .nzb files), which is only €7.50 a month for 8 connections. The good thing with this is that you can use up your entire bandwith. Example, i download my anime with 600kbps because that is my max speed allowed by my ISP. |
| It's been like a year since I started using µTorrent instead of Azureus. I've got no complaints. I's lighter and faster. |
 |
| I used to use Azureus, until I moved with my Mom, and her computer was a sack of (use your imagination for this word). It sucked. And I had to use a lightweight torrent program so I used utorrent. Ever since then even though I got a new pc, I still use utorrent because I'm just so used to it and I love it. I haven't really tried anything else, but utorrent always gets the job done for me, so I have no complaints either. |
| Started off with Azureus then migrated to BitLord after I downloaded an update for Azureus which went a bit skewiff. |
| µtorrent was my first and only torrent program I use, hasn't failed me yet. |

Example, i download my anime with 600kbps because that is my max speed allowed by my ISP. Well, I've got the full speed out of my connection with Torrents to, but you have to have your settings set just right. I have everything on my computer hacked & tweaked to to get every bit out of my connection. Even have a "Modified" firmware on my router to allow more connections. I currently get 15000kb (1831KB) down. |

I currently get 15000kb (1831KB) down. Totally depends on the seeders. Good thing with NZB's are that there's no such thing as seeders. It's there, and working. Damaged files repair themselves (PAR2's), and there's no thing needed such as unpacking, you simply choose where you want your download and let the rest be done by GrabIt. |
| I just switched to µTorrent since so many people seem to prefer it. So far, it looks to have quite a few options while remaining user-friendly; I think I like it. |
