PC Users: Which BT Client do you prefer?
« on: May 30, 2007, 09:02:21 PM »
I've been using BitTornado for about 4 years straight now, and just realized that some of the other clients out there have a lot more features - like automatically scheduling bandwidth useage (uncapped overnight and throttled during the evenings when everyone is home).  This may be good and bad depending on what you are looking for.  Just curious what other people are using and why.  Please let us know what you like or don't like about your the torrent clients you have used.

Thanks.

started with BitTornado years ago, moved to uTorrent about 2 years ago.

i like the multi-torrent window so I can watch all the torrents i have going, seems to not bog my comp down too much, also a an of the Port Forward check to make sure you are all set up

Liked Torrent Storm until it quit being developed. Now unless I make and seed a torrent, I use and prefer Opera's built in client that treats torrents as just another download. No special client needed and it will also check to make sure the port used isn't firewalled.

< edited to add my one dislike of Opera's built-in client - some trackers don't recognize it properly and therefore don't accurately report your upload stats; not a big deal unless you use one of those sites that strictly enforce ratios, in which case you can have your account deactivated even though you have met their guidelines >

A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage. It's my favorite part of the business, live concerts.

I used BitTornado initially, then switched to ABC because I preferred the UI.  Tried uTorrent some time ago and couldn't get it running.  Started having trouble with ABC, so I recently tried uTorrent again and got it to work and am liking it so far.  I don't use most of the features, but as with ABC I like the UI.
