What do you think is better Utorrent or Azureus for torrenting ?

Utorrent is a lightweight torrent client that if fully functional. I have provided a download if you wish to try it. You do not need to install the program as it is a standalone program.

**Nightcrawler** · 03-09-2007, 04:55 PM

I just recently switched to utorrent from Azureus so far I like it. It seems I get faster downloads but the jury is still out only because Azureus has some features I like for example you can update the tracker with a mouse click I havent figured it out how to do it with utorrent if it's even possible

**Maniaxe** · 03-09-2007, 05:00 PM

BitComet isn't up there??? Well I have to say Utorrent. It's not a major resource hog like Azureus.

**Bachonga** · 03-09-2007, 06:43 PM

uTorrent is definitely my favorite. Lightweight, fast and has nice features and options. What more do you want?

**foXtrot** · 03-09-2007, 06:56 PM

I like Azureus more because it is platform independent. So that all operating systems that support the JVM can use this program. This means users have freedom to use whatever operating system they want. Utorrent afaik is only a win32 application and I dont feel like booting in Windows anymore.

**Mast3r_Shak3** · 03-09-2007, 09:14 PM

My firewall/router/ISP doesn't seem to like uTorrent.

Azereus.

**mannymix03** · 03-09-2007, 09:49 PM

both have to big of a memory footprint, I use bit tornado, virtually no footprint...

I second this.

**Deturbanator** · 03-09-2007, 10:58 PM

i have reason the believe the link he posted as the utorrent download is a virus:
file size of the exe inside it is around 465 kb

actual dl of it is 646 kb

also the stand alone which he claims this to be is 170 kb so this is not the original file from utorrent

also this user had recently posted a virus in another thread

**megaglow_z** · 03-09-2007, 11:04 PM

I have avast so i knew if i clicked the link,it would see what it was before i downloaded.....Its a virus.
I reported it and recommended a ban on the idiot.

**Mysticales** · 03-10-2007, 12:19 AM

Deleted the 2nd link, was infected with a W32.Spyworm aka spyware crap no one needs here. Thanks. As for torrents... www.bittornado.com ftw.

**Deturbanator** · 03-10-2007, 12:22 AM

thank you myst

Anyway Im happy with Azureus

Let's try get this back ontopic. I've deleted a few posts.

I personally use uTorrent, but I don't use it very often so I haven't been bothered to change it. On Linux I prefer kTorrent or uTorrent under Wine. I put Azureus on a friends Macbook, it is probably the best for a Mac.

I'm not too sure about switching to Azureus. I've heared its a lot better now compared to around 6 months ago, but I use it so rarely that it doesn't justify me trying to compare 2 bits of software.

**Tsubi** · 03-10-2007, 02:58 AM

Utorrent for sure!

**AndyMosh** · 03-10-2007, 03:07 AM

uTorrent, i get the best out of my download speeds.

Aye, I used to use Az, but switched a few months ago to Ut, I'm glad a changed.

**dx169** · 06-18-2007, 08:19 PM

This is a little old thread but still...

I prefer Utorrent.

**|-Anubis-|** · 06-18-2007, 08:21 PM

utorrent

If only there was a Linux port...

Oh well I'm on Windows anyway for now.

**Siouxsie** · 06-18-2007, 08:24 PM

uTorrent is besstt.

Also, slightly OT, but you're online so I'm gonna try and get away with it:

What's the closest version of Linux to Windows? I want to switch, but I fear command lines and text based stuff.

**Adiuvo** · 06-18-2007, 08:25 PM

Ubuntu.

And Utorrent.

**Urza** · 06-19-2007, 12:48 AM

Recently I've been using μTorrent.

Azureus is too needy for my tastes.
