wanted: simple, stable bittorrent client for windows
Ehtyar:
+1 for uTorrent. Can we please not use the word "bloat" when referring to software that comes as a single executable with only features pertaining to the programs primary purpose, no matter how abundant those may be?
Stop using uPNP please people (I'd rather not hijack this thread, so hopefully this simple example will be enough).
Tuxman, nice of you to recommend a client that you've never been able to get working whilst criticizing what is so far the most highly recommended client, then to criticize our use of the word "uTorrent", without providing the keystroke to type it correctly, whilst completely disregarding the fact that the use of "uTorrent" is more common than "µTorrent" precisely due to the complexity involved in typing it. Thanks for all your help in this thread...
Ehtyar.

I didn't recommend Deluge, I said "looks nice". :P
Halite works for me.

That doesn't mean it is the best client either, see my comment about its behavior above...
tinjaw:
RE: µtorrent cheating: I remember reading a bunch of complaints that it manipulates something to make it get stuff faster than other clients. I don't remember the details, that's why I through it out for comment. Maybe it doesn't do that anymore. I'm not sure if µtorrent was the one.
Josh:
Bit Comet was well known for bypassing the "ratios" put in place by most trackers.

tinjaw:
Yep, it was.
Josh:
AFAIK this has been removed in recent versions?
