Hey,
I just added this post to AsianblueX's thread to give some links to the clients in the poll. Wink
Just vote for the client you use mostly. I hope this will give the undecided members here an idea which clients are good.

ABC: written in Python, based on BitTornado v0.2.0
Azureus: re-written in Java, client with most features, supports also "Trackerless Bittorrent"
BitTornado: Python, extended version of the official BT client
BitComet: rewritten in C++
BT++: Python, based on the official BT client, inactive (last release: v0.5.4 2003-05-07)
Nova Torrent: Python, inactive (last release: v0.3.4 10/25/2003)
Official BT client: Python, latest releases support also "Trackerless Bittorrent"
TorrentStorm: Python, based on TheSHAD0W's experimental BT client
Shareaza: C++ multi-protocol client, supports networks like eDonkey2000, Bittorrent, Gnutella, ...
eXeem: semi-decentralized P2P network which uses the bittorrent protocol (a.k.a. "Trackerless Bittorrent")
µTorrent: C++ µTorrent was designed to use as little cpu, memory and space as possible while offering all the functionality expected from advanced clients.

BitTornado-0.3.8

Looks simple a bit raw maybe but works just fine.

I'm using BitTornado-0.3.8 as well. Last week I tried Azureus, but it made my pc crash all the time. So it was back to BitTornado and installed 0.3.8.

Me too. thumright

But note that to download a single file from a batch torrent you can't use ABC, you have to use BitTornado.

yadirs: nopes, you can download a batch torrent using ABC. i do that all the time. you just have to copy the batch torrent url and paste it on the blank box and click on "add link". i download batch torrents all the time...from anime to drama~ Laugh

I started using the official client. Gave up when I found that each instance uses separate memory; each one takes up 20-30 MB, so running 8 or so, my system starts to swap (with 512 MB memory).

Went to BitTornado. More options, but each download is on its own window, so it's just as hard to track (even when I spread the windows across 4 virtual desktops).

Went to ABC. Was good, but couldn't handle (selective) batch download. Realized the importance of a global upload rate -- so that I can still surf net smoothly!

Tried G3 then. Wow, even showed the parts missing (not that it helps the download). It's perfect, except for three things:
1. GUI is slightly sluggish; uses too much CPU (30-40% for my P-III 850 MHz)
2. Resume needs to hash-check
3. Resume will move the torrent to the front of the queue (messing my order)

Went to BitComet. Love it! Even supports Chinese characters. A few things that make it better than the other clients:
1. GUI is fast; CPU usage is low (10-20%)
2. Pause/Resume doesn't need to hash-check
3. Have disk cache, so fewer writes to disk
4. UPnP, so no need to manually configure port forwarding

BitComet is more memory efficient. When I run G3, my system cache is over 300 MB (out of 512 MB). When I run BitComet, it is under 100 MB.

BitComet is not perfect, however. I've encountered several minor bugs, but I can live with them. Smile
