wtf?? less memory? Utorrent uses <4mb.. If that's to muck I suggest upgrading your PC.

Is it any faster then 1.4. Is that even possible.
What does it encrypt, the data stream?

 

[saahmed]

has anybody else been having problems with this lately? I havent upgraded yet, but the availability on everything I am trying to download seems to be really low though they have tons of seeds. I am not too familiar with how it actually works but I would think if there are a lot of seeds the availability would be good?

haha, bittornado would use around 20K of memory when downloading, and utorrent hardly uses any (less than 10K). plus it has a graphical UI and it has a LOT more features and to me, it seems faster than bittornado.

Uh, I think you misread his post. He converted FROM bittornado, and agrees that uTorrent uses MUCH less memory..

oooh thanks gotta update mine!

I might have to give this a try as an alternative to azureus. Azureus is great and all, but being a java app it's a bit of a resource hog.

The downside to using such little memory footprint is that it causes a lot more disk thrashing. Sure AZ and bitcomet are hogs on the memory but they cache more of the downloads and uploads so less blinky blinky on the hard disk.

I like uTorrent but I wish it allowed more caching so it wouldn't hog hard drive resources which can be as bad or worse as a large memory footprint.
