Bit torrent client for vista

Amp34 · 29 Sep 2006 at 17:31

Anyone know of any bit torrent client that runs on vista and allows aero to still work. I usually use Bitlord but it isnt compatable with aero. (I'm a sucker for looks

)

uTorrent should work. and it's the best torrent client.

Amp34 · 29 Sep 2006 at 18:24

Thanks for that, it seems to work.

you wont want to hear the next bit then.

I installed utorrent and it didn't seem to want to work properly (probably just me) so I tried bitlord and works with vista (and aero), not sure why it didn't before

. Its also downloading at higher speeds.

Nope thats what limewire's for.

Does anyone know if azureus works with vista?

apatia77 · 30 Sep 2006 at 11:39

yeah, utorent works well, (used to be a fan of azureus but not anymore

)

Amp34 · 30 Sep 2006 at 15:19

Yeah I don't think it was the client as such it was just a single file that still won't delete. I go into the folder it is in and the entire computer grinds to a halt and explorer starts using 100% of the cpu. I did a quick fix by moving everything else out of the folder but I still cant delete it annoingly. Any ideas?

utorrent all the way!!!

I was a big fan of azureus until a mate pointed this out, now this is all I use with my Vista RC1 O/S

The Aero breaking of Azureus et al. is a fault of Java being non-Aero friendly. Instally the JRE 6 Beta instead of JRE 5, and all will be well.

Azureus>uTorrent
only advantage of uTorrent is that standalone client that doesn't need installing
other than that, Azureus prawns it

tried installing that, but it says no JVM installed?

Is that because its a devloper kit?

NVM i fixed it, I had the 64bit, as azureus is on;y 32 bit, you need the 32bit version. So I know have 64bit and 32bit installed.
