quick bt question

[quakefiend420]

can you resume a download with a different bitorrent client than what you started the download with?

after a recheck yes.

Usually you can. Just make sure you point both clients to the same download folder and load the torrent in your new client, should work just fine.

I actually have Azureus and Bit Comet setup so I can use BitComet when I'm using the computer (since its easier on my CPU and RAM) and Azureus when I'm not (better upload managment.

I've attempted this and it zeroed out my progress... started with Azureus and went to BitComet. I didn't dare do it again going back the other way since I was well over 2GB into the download again...

And yes, BitComet is way easier on CPU/resources... but it was having upload-connectivity issues (I needed to upload more) so I went back with Azureus fulltime... unfortunately.
