Azureus Vuze weighs in a almost 9MB. Utorrent 214kb.

I like small with no install. Right...no real extra features, but I am ok with that.

I use utorrent and the portable version, really light and you don't even need to install it (like it should have been).

Used to use bitcomet but found utorrent faster. Opera has a built-in torrent client feature but I'm not impressed.

neither was I. disabled it first chance I got. I don't think it is designed for regular users, more the people that might need to download a torrent a few times a year.

Not sure why anybody wouldn't use utorrent (unless they have a mac)

utorrent hands down.
have run azureus, bittorrent, bitspirit, and bitlord...
nothing compares with utorrent at all. small, fast, good frequent updates, good customisation options

as for sites.
torrentz.com
piratebay.org
demonoid.com

and vcdquality.com, scenereleases.info to see what new movies are out.

takes care of everything.

I use mininova/thepiratebay and bittorrent. The latter only because it has yet to fail me.

Stop using separate search sites, people and start using search aggregators like http://torrent-finder.com/ . You'll thank me immensely, try it. Wink

By the way, stay away from torrentreactor.net (2nd tab). Firefox 3 has flagged it as installing malicious software.
