uTorrent
We All know P2P is growing in popularity. It began with Napster led to kazaa and has now left the gates of fast track and into the realm of the bittorrent protocol. Many ask and wonder what bittorrent is, but im not here to explain that, as there is loads of information regarding bittorrent
for example:
Brian's BT Faq
The Official Bittorrent Client Homepage
Bittorrent on Wiki
Those are just some of a few which have plenty of information regarding Bittorrent. Many affiliate Bittorrent with the Warez Scene which is baisically illegal file transfer of copyright material such as movies, games, music and software. But that is not a true sterotype there are plenty of legal use for bittorrent. It is a great way to distribute linux distros and large game patches (world of warcraft for example) as well as large files (such as open office).
I'm going to talk about my favourite Bittorrent Client. But before I begin I will explain the previous ones I had used and my oppinions on them so that you may make your decesion. I began using the original bittorrent client, it worked great at 1what it did but as I began using bittorrent more often I learned of another alternative Shadows Experimental client Bittornado. This one allowed for certain profiles and allowed the option of super-seed which was a new unique feature that ensured each file was uploaded once before continuing to fully seed the file, this allowed for more seeds to be available faster. It also allowed you to throttle your upload and download which the original client was lacking. However, I disliked having multiple windows open for each torrent and wanted some sort of way to manage them in one window. So I got ABC
I used it for about a month but it never capped my speed so I decided to try Azereus. This was probably one of my favourite clients for the longest time, I used it for about a year but the memory and cpu usage began to get heavy and on my old PIII it was killing it. I couldn't do anything without it slowing to a crawl. So i went to seek another alternative, Bitcomet came to be. I loved that client it did everything I wanted it to do. Then uTorrent came along. I remember being referred to it by one of my close friends, and i quickly decided to sign up to the forums to help improve this magnificent client. I was using it since its early version of 0.7 I believe, of course it was still very buggy. My torrents couldnt even connect and it had little features. The developers were anxious to make this one of the best clients and so they heard the outcry from the community. Loads of features where requested and bugs were posted. And now version 1.3 is released. It's a very stable release which now officially supports unicode and DHT. It has a minor footprint in system usage and resources and simply has the versatility of Azereus and Bitcomet combined without the drag on resources.
Here are some pictures of the amazing client
