Azureus is annoying me

[Cheekykid]

While am downloading the program will just close it self down for no reason Any resolution to that? i use version 2.5.0.0

Yeah, the solution is to use µTorrent instead.

Yeah, the solution is to use µTorrent instead.

Have to agree with that Switched from BitComet.

 

[BillytheImpaler]

I still mostly use Azureus because it's the most feature-rich and since it's Java it's cross-platform but µTorrent does indeed roxxor my soxxors when I use it.

I really wish they'd cook up Linux and Mac ports.

Azureus is the only BT client i can get good speeds on..the rest are 5kb/s max.

It randomly closes for me from time to time, try a reinstall.

uTorrent

Indeed

 

[Pizzaboy2003]

never looked back since i got utorrent so simple to use and allways god speeds for me

 

[Master Skooter]

I'm still using Azureus with no probs....but sounds like i'm deffo gonna have to give this uTorrent a blast!

 

[BlizzardX]

I was an azureus user completed as it was indeed feature rich and good, but I found it hogged so much memory and was sometimes tempramental. uTorrent is so far the only torrent client which I have found to be better, so much so that i no longer have azureus installed at all.

 

[Master Skooter]

Yeah Azureus hogs my whole system pretty much, i just use it at night.

Will try this tonight

you had utorrent setup incorrectly then

portforward.com and utorrent.com

dont set your uploads too high (stick under 20) becuase our uk connections are have very limited uploads


as someone on this forum said before "azereus users have not tried utorrent yet, 'period'"


i can't see what features anyone would want -what does azerues have that utorrent doesn't? (anyone?), my housemate used to use it until i showed him utorrent (been using it since v1) az used to really kill his pc

-edit, i dont trust java for desktop applications, they tend to be slow and awkward to use

 

[agw_01]

I've found BitLord is faster and I get much better speeds when using it.

It also doesn't use Java so doesn't have the questionable reliability of Azureus.

Took the words out me mouth!

 

[Podfather]

Use Utorrent . Also try and reinstall the program to see if that is the fixes the problem, but seriously use Utorrent mate it surpasses Azureus in every way possible imo.

 

[Sp00n]

Bitlord

 

[gooner_47]

Another uTorrent convert here, was using Azureus but very happy without it

 

[Combat squirrel]

This is all very odd, using Azureus for ages, never crashes on me, does uTorrent have p2p encryption in it though ?

 

[gizmoy2k]

utorrent has everything, including encryption......

And yeah another convert here

 

[Wyrdo]

Does utorrent have the plugins?

Just curious as I have used utorrent but wasn't too keen on it.
