Yeah Azureus sure is hard to use.

Or maybe I just can't handle the pure speed that a Torrent client written in Java can provide me with.

So the benefits of Azureus are thats it's a resource hog and harder to use, so it's l33t?
For real hardcore smugness you guys should be running it on a *nix os I presume?

Azureus uses like 50mb ram for me.

I'll give uTorrent a go tomorrow, dont expect any improvements tho tbh.

Azureus is bloatware.

Went from azureus to utorrent and havn't looked back.

Utorrent has been the only one that hasn't caused be problems, and sorting out connections, ports, speeds etc i found to be so much easier than azereus.

Did you follow the instructions fully on how to create a static ip for your pc and port forwarding for your router on http://portforward.com/ ?

Have used about 5 different clients since torrents first started popping up and have settled with azureus, doesn't really hog resources all that much, even with 20 odd downloads going at once.

In regards to the new interface, just switch to the regular view

Yea I did switch to the regular view, I still prefer the older versions which dont have that extra crap on.

Same here, not sure why they bothered with the extra stuff, seems a complete waste of time, but as I said, not seeing any increase in the load, even with the new interface.

Ok thanks, will I get faster speeds with Utorrent too?

UPnP is on, how should I configure it tho? or do I just not touch any of it's settings?

UPNP needs to be on in the router and installed, on and working in you OS (should get a notification)

Sounds like you may just have turned it on on the router.

uTorrent will tell you on the log tab/pane if upnp was set ok etc... It's good like that

I moved away from Azureus as I found it to be a complete resource hog. uTorrent seems to work a lot better for me.

Agreed, another uTorrent thumbs up here

Ports worked from the go on Utorrent, was a no go for Azureus.

Why use 64bit XP? 64bit Vista is decent, but not XP :confused:
