Best BitTorrent Client(s)

RPGWizard · April 23rd, 2004, 21:35

I have a question for those who have been d/ling anime (and perhaps other things that can't be mentioned here) with BitTorrent and/or other clients based on BitTorrent's specifications and capabilities.

Which has worked the best for you and your purposes? Personally, I prefer Azureus right now. I just tried it out today, and I'm getting much better d/l bandwidth.

Shadow does the job for me.

I used the original for a while, but I was uploading about 70-110 KB/s while d/ling about 11 or less KB/s.....So I switched to BitTornado, which was better, but had problems "throttling" my d/l speeds. Azereus does a good job of controlling upload speeds while giving a decent d/l speed. I haven't tried Shadow as yet.....Have you tried Azereus, RZetlin, and if so, is Shadow better?

try TorrentStorm

RPGWizard · April 23rd, 2004, 22:35

It would help if you stated how many BitTorrent clients you have used, which ones, and your views on each one you have used.....*makes mental note to try Shadow and TorrentStorm a bit later*

I've used many BT clients but the best one by far was ABC: http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/

Unlike other BT clients it manages multiple torrents at the same time. Allowing you to queue, set all torrent upload limits and individual while only taking about 30mmb of ram.

I agree with Hydra, I use ABC and its very convenient.

What other clients have you used, Elly? I know you're an anime junkie (Like I'm starting to turn into), so I know I can trust your opinion(s) (Except about AI.....

).

I use AZUREUS. It's the best one.

**Kane** · April 23rd, 2004, 23:57

I occasionaly go through the process of trying a number of different clients for ABC to check out what's new. About a month ago, I tried Azureus, BitSpirit, Torrentstorm, Burst, Shadow's Experimental Client and ABC. I'm sticking with ABC.

After the last bittorrent thread thread a while ago, i started using ABC and have stuck with it since. I'm pretty happy with it.

edit: fixed the two words around the wrong way

With Azureus, I've d/led over 1.2 Gigabytes since 12:00 (Noon) today, and it's 6:21 P.M. now. I could've never done that with BitTornado.

From what I've seen, Azureus and ABC seem to be the best, so I guess I'll have to d/l ABC sometime soon and check it out.....but I'm still loving Azureus for right now.

Anyway, more opinions are appreciated (kiraseed, where are you now, among others?), and thanks to those who have given advice/opinions.

*Wonders why NGEmu doesn't have an Anime forum.....just one.....that way we could sticky a topic like this.....and more blah*

well I tried novatorrent, shadow's experimental BT, the official BT client, ABC, torrentstorm and I found ABC to be the best. Perhaps the only BT client I havent tried out yet is Azereus, but I had enough trying out BT clients already

Yours,
-Elly

I use BT++.. it's good, but like any other BT client, if it DLs a file too quickly (over 170kb/s) it reboots my machine. Any ideas? I've formatted and everything to no avail, WindowsXP is all updated.. I'm out of ideas.

I've never heard of BT++, but maybe you should try another client, cooliscool

Heh, I have, every client, including the official BT does it. Oddly, it never happens to any other download, just BT stuff. :\
