It's TOTALLY up to you... you may want minimum features if your new, easy to use interface, a combination of the two, or something completely different.

Check http://www.zeropaid.com/torrent/ <-- there for all the different versions, find one you like, uninstall the ones you dont. Shareaza hasnt gotten too many good reviews, just to give you a head's up.

You must have ports forwarded if you are behind a router, and those ports are on TCP, #'s 6881-6889, but is configurable with most clients.

Good luck, welcome to ZeroPaid, and happy summer in Brazil, its actually freezing in Texas :)

Like Hawkburn said, it depends on ur tastes. Some have schedualers but some offer more info. Its all about what you want to know and the level of control you need to get goods from ur friendly bittorent site :D If your a Anime whorder like me, then you will need something with the capability to store the torrents and locations for easy access.

Yeah exactly every one has its pros and cons, I personally use Azureus, because of the awesome GUI and the amazing options/stats.

But some other people like a more simple client that just gets the job done without you having to fiddle with it, so my theory would be download a bunch and see which you personally like best, as they all work well.

And why isnt Azureus listed on that zeropaid torrent site? Not to fanboy but we should at least show people all the options

**PuNiShErKiLl666** · January 5th, 2004, 07:24 PM

I have to give Yoda credit, he's been on the ball recently, both here and his own site.

I am looking to know what everyone thinks is overall the fastest client? Or are they all the same, because sometimes mine will spike high on azureaus. I switched to TorrentStorm cause it was blazin fast. Then I uninstalled Azureaus, and now TorrentStorm blows, on speed. I am just looking for great great speed!

SHAREAZA will download bittorrent when torrent storm trackers are not hooking up.I am hooked up to 176 of 236 sources downloading at 75 kB/s now (thats kB/s) not kb/s something like 700kb/s and it would go faster if I wasn't here typing this

Azureus is my favorite.
It's user friendly, very configurable, and easy to use.
The bad part: It's Java dependent and eats up ALOT of resources on my machine.
Then again, judging from Kazaa Lite, it might be a standard thing now days.
