I have utorrent. I have a problem though. When I click on a torrent to download, all I get is Find and Save options. How do I get the option to open it? I want it to just open up utorrent and start downloading the data.

uTorrent. It's not open source but who cares??? 5-10MB memory footprint on average (if memory serves. Might be less).

I used to use uTorrent, but there were some large downloads I would ALWAYS get corruptions with.

Example: An iso was split up into multiple RAR files, and everytime I tried downloading it (at least 3 times), one of the files would be corrupted.

Actually, I think Azureus did that as well.

BitComet has never done that and works flawlessly.

But other than that, uTorrent was the best for me. I should probably try to switch back.

I was a hardcore Azureus user for a long time.

Then i discovered uTorrent.

That's strange...downloads split into multiple RAR files work perfectly fine for me when I use utorrent. It's probably not utorrent but a different issue...

It's certainly not uTorrent.

Corrupt downloads can occur with any client, & considering how many things i've downloaded over the years w/ uTorrent, i'd say the issue is your source or perhaps bad RAM or something killing them.

I need to switch. Azureus crashes my PC due to some USB cable modem driver BSOD...although, it's the program of choice.

utorrent since you're lazy.
