HG Blows Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Does anybody use a client (Torrent Storm, ABC, Azureus) to download torrents instead of the basic one? If so, which one do you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulDistortion Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I use torrent storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legioss Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Experimental client still works for me. I have to limit my upload or my browser can't go to web sites while I'm downloading a file. That's the only feature I really need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Togo Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 We need a poll on this. I use the basic client, and I have no idea what I am missing with the others. I am wondering if there is something better out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Göönk Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 i use the standard client and i launch it during night time so I'm not disturbed in my surf in day time. Well, in addition I'm using it at work so, night time is quite big long Sometimes I just let it go during day time as well, it depends on the "upload" bandwidth it takes. Unfortunately the PC version doesnt allow the limit of upload rate. Set it to 80% and there is enough left to surf normally. On my mac, I can set the max upload rate so, surf is just ok. Don't forget to let the torrent window active once you finished your download, it helps other guys trying to download from you !!! I'm going to let the computer ON during the whole week end with only uploads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CF18 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 ABC and most of the new ones let you handle multiple torrent in one process, plus many nice feature like total upload speed and download priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I just started using Azureus recently, and I'm lovin' it. It's by far the best I've seen in terms of information, options, and download management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I've been using the basic client too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDisco Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 my main client is ABC but for some torrents i find Azareus much faster. Problem i have with Azareus is that its based on java on my system its a resource hog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
