Can you recommend a Bittorrent client?

[George P Burdell]

Can you recommend a Bittorrent client that:
1. is open source
2. uses less RAM than Azureus?

Thanks!

You are going to get 50x replies for uTorrent

It isn't open source (at least I don't think so), but it is awesome. VERY small, VERY light memory footprint.

I like bitcomet but it's been getting banned from more and more private torrent sites because it's buggy and doesn't always report your share ratio properly. I'll probably switch over to uTorrent once all of my active torrents have been seeded.

 

[JackBurton]

Been using BitComet. I'll give uTorrent a try.

I used to use Azureus as well... friend showed me uTorrent, got my acclimated to it, and now I love it. The small footprint is amazing. Java sucks. 🙂

 

[Inspector Jihad]

maybe i'll switch to utorrent after my dls are done.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

I use BitComet and it works pretty good for me. I will give utorrent a shot.

 

[tw1164]

It would be cool if one could just copy / paste the source code of Azureus into J# and compile it so that it would use .NET framework instead of the Java VM, but I REALLY doubt that would work without some serious rewriting considering the library differences and all (I assume this, I do not know Java or J#).

Simon says utorrent.....

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

hate to go against the crowd here, it is a geat app with a tiny footprint, but........

To heck with it, I am installing the J# portion of Visual Studio 2005, I know it will not work, but who cares.

Well Utorrent looks nice. Now where are the BEST places to find good torrents? I'm looking for a few HD TV shows. 😉
