Your favourite torrent client

Let's have some recommendations and naming and shaming.

I'm using utorrent at the moment after having used Azureus for a long time and it's grown on me. It's smaller, faster and easier, but doesn't have the option of as many plugins as Azureus. If you don't use plugins, get it.

And the original 'bit torrent' client sucks.

    Old Bitcomet so I can bypass the 'wait 48 hours' timer on private trackers and also my ratio stays the same no matter what.

    Of course ;)

    I use Azereus (or did until Uni blocked it!). Suits me well. And obviously I only download what I own too...

    ive been using azereus for the last couple of years or something, fine for me cos i generally just start loads downloading and then check a few days later, so not bothered about speed etc..

    I'm not sure exactly but it hasn't been coded for use with a tracker timer, that's one of the reasons it's a banned client. That being said some sites can still ban you becuase they can check which version you are using. But there is one site that I have been using for months which allows me to bypass the timer as well as the ratio staying the same. I don't feel like saying the name of the site here just incase someone decided to give them a reminder or hundreds of people start using the method and they clock on.

    Ditto. Although the memory usage sucks, I keep meaning to try micro torrent for comparison.
