| 368825 | 2005-07-05 02:01:00 | I use a client called ABC - its fairly simple to use and gets the job done. http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/ A lot of others use Azureus - it's more advanced than ABC, but didnt add any features that I needed. http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ |

| 368827 | 2005-07-05 02:19:00 | I used azureus in the past, as it is a good client with all the bells 'n whistles you could hope for. But when I reinstalled the my OS, I just went for the simplicity of Bittornado http://www.bittornado.com/ It dosent have all the features of other clients, but it has the basics. Which suits me (I use it to download foreign language free-to-air programs from overseas for Mrs Nyuuji, programs I otherwise couldn't get for love nor money.) I recomend trying a few of them and seeing which suits you best. Any in the link from Melta's post are good. |

| 368829 | 2005-07-05 12:21:00 | Yeah go for Azureus - it's the first and only torrent client I have used. Haven't seen the point or any advantage in trying anything else... Have been using it on XP for ages and just got it running on Debian Linux :) :) |

| 368830 | 2005-07-05 12:43:00 | I use Bit Lord 1.1, seems to be alright. Haven't tried any others, how do you get full speed downloads anyways? does it depend on the seeders? and less downloaders? never seem to get over 100KB/s down. | Sleepy (7202) | ||
| 368831 | 2005-07-05 13:17:00 | I use Bitcomet, it's real user friendly, and it has a disk cache function (helps buffer data as it's writtem to harddisk, reducing damage) And best part is, it has a function where you choose which part of a torrent file you want to download. |

| 368833 | 2005-07-06 00:07:00 | Another very good commandline *nix client: ctorrent. Written in C, very small, set and forget. | vinref (6194) | ||
