Which one do you use out of the following? Just today I started using p2p for the first time in my life (yes first time). I got Ares Galaxy and it workslike a charm but im wondering if theres something better.

uTorrent has lowest CPU usage and has all the features you will ever need. Best IMO.

I think the real question is "Which tracker do you use?"

Its what 'tracks' each torrent. Linking to seeders/leechers.

Same here, but for some reason it gives me 10 kbps max.....

so i tried utorrent and i cant really see a speed difference from ares (not yet anyways)
you guys got any tips on how to teak the preferences to increase the speed?
also you guys use peerguardian2 with your p2ps right?


**another note: whenever i pause a torrent in utorrent, it just keeps downloading, is this normal? or should i stop the torrent if i want to "pause" it?

Thunder though i often have bad speed with p2p programs so i don't use them much.

I use flashget as my p2p client, and I search for torrents in

Pause keeps your links with your seeds alive. While stop does not.

I use opera's integrated BitTorrent client. :3


*waits for sticks and stones to come bashing out of the sky*

uTorrent + Private trackers = Win

5 MB/s on anything = Win.

Used to do that but now I rarely use Opera just when testing my web pages.

Hate you and your private trackers lol. While im sitting here at a blazing 50Kbps...all the horsepower and no where to run..

hey when i right clikc a torrent under properties>>at the bottome of the screen theres initial seeding, enable dht, and peer exchange. what are they for?

also if i lower my upload does it also lower my download rate?

I hope you guys don't mind me bumping this thread a little with a question. (:
Just exactly how safe is a program like uTorrent? Isn't it easier to slip in viruses and trojans because there are people who download entire albums or movies?

I used BtiComet most but then.. I had some trouble it wouldnt connect properly to the internet so i ran it along with BitTorrent too see wich 1 dl'd faster and the winner was BitTorrent.
so now im happy with BT

When I used to download stuff, I never got any viruses downloading music. Usually if there are viruses included, people will stop seeding thus why its quite safe. You can usually torrent content before you start downloading anyway.

Thanks again, Soda. :]
