I'm now downloading Suse which is 3.49GB and in summery it has "967.72 MB (1 MB rubbish data dropped)" - does this mean that the file is broke?

Does anyone know how to send BitTorrent a question or submit a bug report?
Their website says that if you don't find the answer to your question, you should send it to them... but then fails to provide a form, link or any info how to do this.
In any case, I have the newest version of BitTorrent (4.20.7) and this is hellishly resource-hungry. Okay, I only have a 2Ghz AMD and 1Gb RAM, but still, when I start BitTorrent, I can't run anything else. It uses constistently between 60 and 95% of the CPU time and immediately consumes at least 80Mb of system memory. Antivirus also stops working because it doesn't have enough resources to keep running. Also, BitTorrent tends not to run any longer than 2 hours before crashing, half the time with a nice blue screen.
Hmm... with all these problems, maybe someone knows of a better client that I can use instead?
It did use a hog of resources on my system too but nothing as bad as yours.
However I do thing it might be causing a few random restarts I keep having
utorrent.

Can't you just download it direct from their website with using torrents?
BTW why the heck is the file size so huge anyway? People complain windows is bloated but I see these Linux distros and some are huge!!
I tried out Azureus before I read your reply and that has already solved all the problems. Might give uTorrent a go, just for the sake of comparison.
