What's the Best Torrent Program for a PC that isn't written in java?

I would second this.
it's written in C++ too
kinda sucks.
all i can assume is either you cant run it or you have had a bad experience with it.
Like shyboy i always use azuerus which is java based. :no:
µtorrent gets my vote too
µtorrent for the win
small file size, low system resource use, uses protocol encryption (faster downloads), downloads can be managed remotely (over the internet) and it can even be run from a memory stick!
It works completely fine for me so I couldn't say it was shit. Maybe doesn't have as many features as utorrent but that won't affect the speed of it as long as you're not a noob and set your settings correctly.
Easter is going to be fun, my sister has been leeching limewire for the past term (since the family inherited my old pc which actually works over christmas) and she's complaining now it might have a virus, because it runs really slow.
But I bet it's that shes running 10 things at once, it's only got a gig of ram and a single athlonxp processor.
Bitlord
ABC
might look into u torrent
I still find that amazing everytime I use it.

I normally use Bitcomet but tried uTorrent last night and did well, only thing I can't see is if you for instance have many files and you only want to download a few from the same torrent you can but you don't seem to be able to add more later.
I know it was easy in BitComet to add more from the selection later through the properties tab.
Isn't protocol encryption a method to stop your ISP knowing what you're upto and thus fool ISP's that throttle down P2P traffic? - hence why you say it's faster?
Yes it does trick their system to think its not P2P traffic. You do get better speeds but they can still see what your overall bandwidth is and they can still 'throttle' your download speeds if they thought you were breaching their acceptable use policy.
use the 'file' tab - then right click on the file and set the priority
watch your ratios soar
iirc dont you get spam with bitlord? cant remember...
Not sure :no:
But my new laptop has started acting funny since i started using Bitlord to download stuff

BitTornado was one of the first clients I used. I now use uTorrent and would say that it's better.
