I've been using Azureus, but it keeps shutting down for no apparent reason.
Anybody using something different that's better?
-
Utorrent, works well, no complaints from me.
-
Bitcomet works fine for me.
-
I second o utorrent. I was using Azureus and I like u torrent much better
-
Bitcomet has been banned by most of the good tracker sites out there because it gets hacked daily.
-
I use azureus just fine. I use it for the plugins. Like the scheduler plugin so during the day speeds are slower and isp doesn't get mad.
-

-
I use BitTornado.. never any troubles
-
Azureus is my proggie of choice.
Xar256 ;D
-
I use BitLord currently... same as BitComet for the most part, but not banned :)
-
I originally used bittornado as that seemed to be most popular. Depending on the number of torrents you want running will dictate the amount of ports you forward and the number of torrent windows open. I switched to uTorrent as it only requires 1 port, doesn't need java to run like Azureus but does everything the same. Allows you to que up as many torrents as you like and they'll be processed based on the up/down settings. Shows enough statistics and seems to work very well.

(http://www.utorrent.com)
-
utorrent here too.
No bloat or spam. just pure bacon baby
-
Bitlord here.
-
I just got into torrents and it was suggested to me by whoever hosts the artwork files for MAME that I was downloading to use utorrent. I haven't stopped torrenting since!
uhh...all Artwork too. :angel:
Allroy
-
Bitlord here too.
-
I've been using Azureus but it looks like alot of people like utorrent, so I think I'll try that one out now.
-

Just switched to that myself, i have to say, it actually works much better than anything else ive used..
-
heh, I switched fomr utorrent to azureus because of the axureus speed scheduler plugin.
-
ABC is all I use

Odd, I just switched to uTorrent (I was using BitTornado) because of the scheduler! My ISP wasn't getting mad, but my wife didn't like it when I left large torrents downloading during the day and she couldn't read her email.
I have only been using it since yesterday, but I am really impressed so far.
-
Why can't she read her email? There are settings to say "only when PC is inactive", aren't there?
-
why doesnt any use usenet.com? Very Fast!!!
-
not every ISP offers usenet access.

-
Purchase?

The whole point is not to purchase :angel:

Oh I understand that. As I'm an old schooler that still users IRC to get stuff. And sometimes I use Bit Torrent sites as well. But I rather pay to find some missing files that are missed on a IRC pack or to get quick downloads. As finding stuff thats missing or to replace corrupt files can be a pain on IRC or Bit Torrent.
Besides the amount you do pay for a usenet account is far cheaper then the costs of that file.
-
I use utorrent.
My configuration must be messed up though...on my best days I get like a combined 15k download.
Any hints?

I used to agree with this train of thought... but torrents are now ubiquitous. I very rarely CAN'T find what I'm looking for on the torrent sites I frequent. I have no use for usenet any longer. Now, before its mentioned, no.. you can't find "everything" on torrents... but I find everything I need personally.
I haven't used usenet or IRC for over a year at least to get files.

Yes. But you can't beat the speed of usenet. Nothing like getting a 3 gig file pack in 10 mins. :laugh:

true, but with my connection here at school, there isn't much I can't put up at night and have finished in the morning :)

Mainly because we use seperate PC's.
If I have a torrent going, she sometimes get's "connection refused" errors. It seems to happen more often as the upload rate goes up.
-
That explains it. Scheduler it is, then.

When wa that added? Last time I tried uTorrent I didn't see such an option. I;d rather do uTorrent since it is small.
-
I use bitlord...its fast
-
I use one called "BitTorrent" ;D version 4.0.3. Maybe I should check out the Azeurus thingy, or utorrent.
