Azureus - IMHO the best when it comes to torrents!

Hi!

I want to recommend http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ - IMHO it's the best BT (BitTorrent) client around! It's Java-based and works on Windows, Linux and Apple, see for yourself how Azureus compares to other BT clients: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_clients

If you want to try it, please also read the great http://azureus.aelitis.com/wiki/ - if you can't find an answer for your problems there (unlikely ;) ) there's even free live support in an IRC channel: http://azureus.aelitis.com/wiki/index.php/IRC

The latest official version is 2.3.0.4, if you like you can use the http://azureus.aelitis.com/wiki/index.php/CVS version with more features (I only use CVS versions).

Do *not* try it if your PC still only has 128 MB of RAM ;)

mouser:
i've been using the free bitspirit for a while - but have no idea how it compares.

brotherS:
Azureus really is the Swiss Army Knife of torrenting ;) I tried a few different clients myself, I was missing something everywhere.

Mark0:
I second that.
Most versatile, feature packed and still easy to use for any BitTorrent things.

Bye!

Carol Haynes:
Excuse my ignorance ... can someone explain the advantage of using Bit Torrents?

From what I have seen it appears to be distributed file sharing - but there seems to me to be a huge potential for getting nasty files and opening your system to hackers.
