What is the best BitTorrent client to use for the fastest download speeds and low CPU?

Thanks. :;)

I would agree with what your avatar says... Shareaza! I like it because I'm spoiled for choice with its 4 networks!

I haven't sampled the litter yet, but i used to use the original BT client, then I tried BT Experimental, and now I'm on ABC, so far it's working great.

Abc is good for multiple torrent downloadings and big files.. And its more along the lines of favorites rather then best.. Its whatever your pc can handle.. And its only as good as the torrent sites you go to.

Multiple downloads and larger files are mainly what i use it for.... if i need a single file or something smaller, i try Ares, but these days i usually don't need that. but true, each one has their own qualities, depending on how a person likes to download their files

the fact that shareaza's got no bittorrent upload capping really put me off, and the fact that by default they didnt open for seeding again aftter i'd closed the program.

I found that artic torrent (http://www.int64.org/arctic.html) works very nice, but them lowest they let you cap upload with unlimited download is 12K which is too high for me. Very minimal CPU though.

**PhR34x0r** · March 5th, 2005, 11:07 PM

ABC of course

Seems to be a fairly evenly distributed split amongst the Bit Torrent clients according to the polls...

Kinda supprised actually, thought azerus woulda stole the show but by all means if you feel the need to test the programs for yourself do it. The best way to figure out what works best for you is to give em a try.
