Still using BitComet. I never really ventured into the many programs that are out there.

hmm? Why's it meh? It works the same, with the exception of 1 minor thing (can't bring up context menu from lower statusbar).

I have slackware on an old 800mhz laptop. The other torrent programs just weren't as responsive when I last tried them.

I've wanted a linux version for a while, but their FAQ always said that they had plans for the future...
