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.

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?

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

uTorrent + Private trackers = Win

5 MB/s on anything = Win.

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?

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.
