If you're happy with how Azureus works, then I wouldn't recommend switching. However, for me, Azureus bogged my system down (and I have a good enough computer so that shouldn't be happening.) Hence, I switched to utorrent and found it to slow my system down much less.

This is probably the best way to sum things up nicely.

Your mileage may vary.....

It all depends how many people you are downloading from.

Apart from a few minor tweaks there really isn't much any BT client can do to increase speeds. In saying that, with my new Hanafos internet connection, I was able to get a peak of 8mbps last night. From a private tracker of course (uknova.com). I almost wet myself!! In fact, my computer had disk overload problems so uTorrent cut the speed to an average of 4mbps for the next couple of hours until everything was downloaded.

So, in Korea, the best performance I've ever seen is with Hanafos internet, private trackers and uTorrent.

Yeah. But if your computer has the balls for it there's no problem.

u torrent rocks..

1. less resources
2. faster download and upload for me at least.
3. connect easier to packet shaping ip's by making use of encryption.
