Looks like we have a lot of ABC torrent fans here. I myself also use ABC as well! Easy to use, works great, so far has been great for my seeds, and download rates are more than enough for me. I'd recommend it to anyone ^_^

My first is BitTornado and I'm still using it. But I also use bitcomet for chinese torrents (Those that often return unregistered tracker errors in bittornado). Seems like bitcomet is a good client for batch torrents too. Smile

I've used pretty much every one out there at one time or another. Still end up coming back to Azureus though. For the rare tracker that won't take Az, and for my seed uploads, I've used G3 most of the time, usually when I want to allocate most of my u/l bandwidth to my seed file while not killing my d/l speeds too much. Sounds weird, but it works!

tried ABC, but now using Azureus... it's not giving me much trouble, so I haven't checked out others. Hmmm... I think I'll check out this G3...

I mostly use ABC (currently v2.6.9) because it is stable and I like its queuing system.
Sometimes I use BitTornado for some quick tasks.

Btw, I have added a poll... It seems that there are still a lot of people searching their client.

This question is like comparing apples and oranges. ABC is basically BitTornado with a queueing system on top. What do you expect and how do you want to compare two clients for two different purposes? The only way to nearly be able to make a comparision would be to let ABC run with only one torrent in the queue. Does that make sense? ... not to me.

Sigh, I feel so stupid because you make me actually look and compare these two...

My ABC with 10 active torrents (about 40 queued) uses 32MB, usually something like 30-35MB.. maybe 40MB if I let it running for some weeks. One BitTornado client uses 24MB, two BitTornado clients use 2*24MB=48MB, etc... The difference is obviously that every BitTornado client loads the Python code into the memory where ABC loads Python only once for all torrents. Conclusion: using a client with a queuing system is more efficient than using two single clients.

edit: I tested on a PIII 600MHz with Windows2000 and more than enough free memory (287 of 864MB used).

I've used all of those at one point. Laugh Let's see when I first discovered bt, I used the official one cause I thought that would be the best. Little did I know. You have to open separate clients for each. Waste of my taskbar and memory. Bit tornado is the same way but it looks slightly better. Didn't like nova. Then, I discovered ABC. I liked it a lot and thought I was going to use it forever then I switched to TorrentStorm. I am a HUGE fan of that. I love everything about it. The downside to both ABC and TorrentStorm is that they always seem to make my computer crash after awhile. Notice how everytime I get low speeds I switch to a different client. Laugh Then, I started to get really low speeds and I had no choice but to switch to another client. Crying Also because I got linux so I started to use Azureus. It's ok. I like it a lot but that java is unstable.

I've always gotten extremely low speeds with those chinese torrents so I decided to use BitComet and I am really lovin' it! It's really fast on those chinese torrents but I have to say not so much on other stuff. But then again, that depends on other stuff too. That client gave me speeds I have never even imagined before. I used to get 60-80kbps on good days but on BitComet my good days are 400+!! Wub My computer hasn't really crashed with that program either. Although, I notice myself having a hard time connecting to the internet. The only reason I don't like BitComet is because uploading is really slow which I hate. But, that's really nothing to complain about. I just use Azureus to seed. So, I really urge everyone to try that one out. It's really give you less headaches. Big Smile

I use ABC and I am very, very into the queuing system. I also like when you minimize it the window is hidden. I hate messy taskbars =/ I think that's what prompted me to ditch the original bittorrent client. I have tried downloading other clients but their interface confuses me Sad Gosh, I'm a dummy. Anyway, ABC is definitely user-friendly for the puter ratarded (like me).

i've tried ABC, BitTornado, orginal BT, and BitComet.

on my laptop, i use BitTornado. i tried Comet and ABC, but the dl speeds were slow compared to Tornado so i switched back to Tornado.

on the desktop, i 1st used BitTornado, but the pc crashed so much i switched to something else. i tried ABC, since u can load all the torrents u want to dl at once, and que the 1s u want to dl later, it's perfect for the crashing pc bcuz i just set it so ABC starts up automatically after crashing! Smile i would've tried out Comet on this, but i didn't like it when i tried it on the laptop. i should try out some of the others.

i wish i had the dl speeds some of u ppl r talking about though, i would party hardy if i get 50kb/s consistantly. shitty comcast cable, always disconnecting me when i leave my dl's on overnite.
