I use BitLord...it's great but limits my downloads based on uploads and for whatever reason my uploads are crazy low. Anything better out there? I dont' mind uploading but it's hitting its limit and my d/l speed suffers. Grr...going to try resetting cable modem and router.

make sure you got lots of mem though (512mb + is recommended). not that it actually uses that much but when combined with other apps, 512mb gives me a lot of paging

Nothing...just missed the premier of a show on TV and so I want to get it to watch it. I don't have anything to record shows with so this works just as well.

ABC comes in at a close second for taking more of a minimalist approach.

I like ABC, easy for my newb ass to figure out. Doesnt seem to be a resource hog.

EDIT

Of course since I dont actually d/l any torrents, YMMV

I think it just might be ABC FTW! I don't like bloated software. Simpler the better...especially for this kind of thing.

Azureus and there's no two ways about it. If your computer can't run it then you need to upgrade.

It support every thing under the sun, however it is a bit sluggish and aren?t as fast at download as BitSpirit/Turbo Torrent.

BitSpirit is a bit buggy, however it is by far the quickest for DL.
