uTorrent

Just switched to this from Azereus. I have to admit that a lot of people on these forums were bang on the money. Azereus was such a resource hog. And having to install Java platform and have that running.

I did have Azereus setup whereby I could be downloading at 100-160kB/s and uploading 40-60kB/s whilst still being able to browse the web. I guess I need to limit the number of connections again in uTorrent?

I just left them on their default settings of maximum number of connections = 600, and maximum number of connected seeds per torrent = 100, and upload slots per torrent = 6, works fine here on a 1mb connection, i always get about 120k on me downloads, and i have my upload set to 20k, and i can still browse etc... fine, obviously it does slow a tad, but just a touch.

Yeah, me too!

Previously on BitLord, found uTorrent and never looked back... Plus it allows me to select individual files from torrens so I can grab the necessaryies, but leave out the tat.

utorrent for the throne when it comes to clients.

I've been a Az diehard for a very long time now, and tried the earlier uT builds but found them lacking in features at the time. I used to use BitComet before Az but that client was heavily frowned upon by a lot of places so I dumped it.

Recently, I had to reinstall XP after a Chkdsk on my hard drive went wrong. I tried uT and was blown away. Almost everything that made me stick to Az was now present in uT - all in a 180k file!

Sod that, I've not looked back, and I find the interface a joy to use. No sluggish java lark here please!

I'm not having much luck with uTorrent... downloads a very slow - I mean a few bytes per sec. What could be wrong?

You forwarded the ports and turned on packet encryption? I love Utorrent. The only feature I could do with though is a web interface, so I can check how the downloads are going on my server, from my main machine. AFAIK a web interface is being worked on, but is still in closed beta.

uTorrent is by far the best torrent downloader. It's the only one I downloaded where it just worked where as others required loads of settings changed :mad:
