As the question was stated

You mean a client as they are known in the business? If you're on GNU/Linux i would highly recommend KTorrent, but Azureus is more popular.

If you're on Windows, uTorrent is (as far as i know) the best option. Be sure to run Peer Guardian to keep the RIAA from trying to stop you downloading.........Linux distros


If you mean a tracker (i think that's the right word) as in a site with all the .torrent files for you to download them; then I'd recommend Demonoid.com (pm me if you want an invite) if you're going to be using bittorrent alot. If it's just for a couple of things then just use sites like isohunt.com and mininova.org

If you are using OS X and want a pretty small, awesome application take a look at Transmission.

Depends on your OS; if you're on
Windows, there's uTorrent.
Linux, there's KTorrent (for KDE) and Deluge, or Transmission( GTK)
Mac OS X, there's Transmission too.

on linux opera web browser, easily the most awsum browser :P speed dial on its cool too!!!. anyway, It has a built in torrent downloader. Is damn cool. and works.

...or you can just use uTorrent on Mac,Linux, or Windows (through Wine for Mac and Linux)

Why would you do that when there are other viable options? I'm not sure how fast uTorrent runs on a Mac, but I'm sure it uses more resources than Transmission.

I agree, I like utorrent too much to change.

Sorry my assumtion is that everyone here uses Linux since it was started from another linux thread sorry I also meant the actual client that you use to download them

I use XFCE on Ubuntu and i dont have a whole lot of memory, tried azureus and it just ate every little bit,ill try a couple different ones out there for linux.

rtorrent is good for low memory, but it's not graphical.

Robert, I moved your thread to "Computers & Internet".

Thank you :-)
As for the person that reccomended Opera, THANK YOU!
i love it, i couldnt easily found a way to cusomize firefox, havent tried the torrent downloader but it looks promising

It might, but Transmission has few features. uTorrent on Windows and Linux both use very little resources. I don't own anything newer than a System 7 Mac so I don't know how well uTorrent works on there, but I've heard it's pretty good.

I have plenty of RAM and like the layout/features of Azureus, so that's what I generally use. It is pretty bad though if you don't have a decent amount of RAM installed, which is most pre-built systems and many first and second builds.

have you ever tried Flashget,i used uTorrent,bitcommet... but the network usually is corrupted by the error such as not connectivity

it runs at about 20mb in task manager

The author of uTorrent made a deal with the owner of BitTorrent, and will "add features that will make it more valuable to users" ssounds like uTorrent made a pact with another devil. So I should expect any new versions of uTorrent to be DRM-full

I love the one that comes with Opera, its nice because it can run in the background and doesnt leave a huge footprint in my memory when i am surfing the web or on here :-)

The agreement was before the 1.6.1 release, and there's a 1.7, and no DRM in it.

FYI, Transmission runs on Linux too, there is a Debian package of it in their repos, not sure about Ubuntu/Fedora though.

Don't Worry, it will happen sooner or later

...Bittorrent...?
