Have you made the switch to µTorrent (for Win)?

µTorrent is an efficient and feature rich BitTorrent client for Windows sporting a very small footprint. It was designed to use as little cpu, memory and space as possible while offering all the functionality expected from advanced clients.

With BitTorrent, you can download files faster and contribute by sharing files and bandwidth.

• Multiple simultaneous downloads
• Smart bandwidth usage
• File level priorities
• Configurable bandwidth scheduling
• Global and per-torrent speed limiting
• Quickly resumes interrupted transfers
• UPnP support (WinXP only)
• Supports popular protocol extensions
• Trackerless support (Mainline DHT)
• Localized to different languages
• Typical memory use less than 6 MB
• Incredibly small: 105 KB

As Chris Pirillo put it in uTorrent vs. Azureus for Torrents (Chris Pirillo)

@ 09:17PM (PDT) on October 18, 2005
µTorrent is:

* Fast as hell, blinding launch speed
* Intuitive, you don't need to think
* Powerful, good for intermediates
* Lightweight (96k total)
* Fully-automated upgrade process
* Updated frequently
* A single binary, no other files
* The best Windows BitTorrent client around
* Now my default BitTorrent client

Azureus is:

* Java-based, slow
* Bulky, clunky
* Overkill for regular BitTorrent users
* No longer my favorite BitTorrent client

There are a few things I'd like µTorrent to have (like filters, RSS scanning, etc.), but I'm sure those are coming. The developer seems to be unleashing fixes at breakneck speed - and I can't stop gushing over how simple the update process is. First, the client tells you that it's available. Then, it downloads the new version, shuts itself down, and automatically replaces the old version with the new. It takes less than 5 seconds on a broadband connection. Amazing. Simply amazing. Keep your eye on this one if you're not ready to switch yet. The author was obviously inspired by Azureus, but made his BitTorrent client better.

No question Azureus is a memory Hog, becuase its based on JAVA code, and while downloading it uses the system memory as cache before dumping it to the
HD. But I guess memory caching is quite usefull in to prevent the download to
be corrupted.

I don't know with utorrent when running it, it may use less memory, but when downloading a large file it could still use up large sys memory to be used as download cache. Maybe i'm wrong, maybe this client may finnaly solve the memory issues the other torrent client has.

One advantage of the Azureus though is that it can download or scrape dead
torrents at even regular speeds, and can even download when the tracker is broken/down the other client cannot.

Very nice info there...

wer ta makadownload ani u torrent freeware rani try nako, ako gigamit ron azureus man pero gusto ko try ani tingale nindot diay

I've used it since the initial release.

Azureus has nothing against utorrent except maybe size.

[brown_dog]

I have this very old torrent file like a month already without being updated
or being resumed.
When I resumed it
using Bitornado it says the tracker is down, and would not resume anymore
and have tried it many times with the same result.

Then I try Azureus, its interesting that it resumes the download, without any
problem.

I only use Azureus for old torrents, Its really good in scraping very old torrents.

Bittornado on the other hand is much faster than azureues, in
downloading new and healthy torrents.

and with your suggestion I'll try uTorrent.

I use Azureus because I usually switch diff.. environment ... though I havent tried it but somebody told me that my downloads can resume since Azureus supports both linux and windows!

Any torrent client should be able to resume any other started torrent regardless of platform or client used.

I like this. I've been using bitcomet ever since I first knew about torrents. Thanks for sharing the info.
