Torrent help pls!
I have used Bitlord and atm am using Azureus but they dnt seem 2 b very gd. Can people pls tell me wat they think the best torrent client is?
Well the best bittorrent client I've used in my opinion would be Transmission, I find it to be fast, lightweight, integrate well and has the features I need.
Though I'd recommend you take a look at uTorrent.

I used to use BitLord with no problems. But right now, I use uTorrent. Its pretty good. I use Azerus before, too. That just... sucked. XD
Is Utorrent the best speed wise? I dnt care about the customization or interface or sum other Cr**. I just need a fast program, BTW I usually download movies, pc, psp games, software. I'll try Utorrent
I have installed uTorrent but theres a couple of things I dnt understand. The seed test thing and the forwarded port. Can sum1 pls simplify these for me. Thanx
If you aren't doing too good, it may because you have a crappy torrent file. The cilent really doesn't very too much except for the nice visual effects. Also, check that your ports are open, that usually limits you downloading and upload speeds.
To port forward, you connect to your router. If you don't know RTFM(read the f***ing manual). Usually in that manual you will also see port fowarding. Which then you follow instructions.
Ok, Seeds are what give you the files, you are a leech. Seeds have the entire file or have stopped downloading and are only uploading. They are there to make sure that the file will be spread to as many people as possible. To do this they give bits of pieces to all the leechers. Then all the leechers send them to each other. Thus you get a whole file. If there are no seeds, then it will be very hard for anyone to obtain the file.

I don't use uTorrent, and I can't run it at the moment to see what you're talking about.
Did you mean seed test or speed test?
If it's speed test, then it's for checking the speed of your connection so that you can set the maximum upload and download slightly slower than your connections maximum.
For the forwarded port, if you are behind a router have you forwarded a port? You may also need to open up a port in any firewalls you use. If you haven't done this then it would be the reason for slow transfers.
Have you tried reading the guides on the uTorrent site, maybe the Connection Setup Guide.

UTorrent. I use to use Azureus but it wasn't as good. Speed is based on the seeds and leachers.
Good luck and have a pleasant day
So basically it doesnt matter what client I use, it all depends on the actual files' Seeds and Leeches? If thats the case then am goner stick with Azureus.
The only big issue I have with Azureus is that it takes up too much cpu. Utorrent takes up very little. Its also has a bit of idoit proofing in azureus where utorrent expects you to know how to use one.

It also depends on the speed of your connection, and how you've set everything up, port forwarding, firewall etc... and it can also depend on whether the client supports things like peer exchange.
I find Azureus to be too resource heavy on my computers, which is why I don't use it.

Azureus eats a lot of RAM and from my experience, has loads of adverts on it. Bitlord in BANNED/wanted on some p2p websites i know.
Best go for uTorrent.
And also, when it comes to DL/UL speed, its your connection and that file's seeders/leechers that matter, not the client.

uTorrent works pretty good. Learn how it works and stick to it.
