hotwired.com— Good article comparing Popular BitTorrent Clients including BitTorrent, µTorrent, BitTornado, Azureus, BitComet, BitLord

BitComet is the only torrent client who doesn't give me the infamous NAT error, would anyone know why? uTorrent is great but it only worked like 2 times before it started givineg me the fking NAT error (using the same port BitComet is using)
"never found what was great about uTorrent other than the size" Have you tried uTorrent? It's incredible...All the features of BitComet/Azureus. And I get incredible speeds with it, you just have to tweak it...
"When you're transferring data at rates of 1MB per second (which is totally possible with BitTorrent), your hard disk is going to have problems keeping up. Most drives simply can't write that fast, and drives that can are put under stress while doing so. " from the article...I would take whatever this guy says with a grain of salt.
I was stuck on azureus for a long time. µTorrent changed my mind in just a few hours. Almost as fast, and you don't even notice the small amount of resources it takes up, even on my laptop which only has 256mb of ram.
I agree but it does seem to have serious flaws such as it refuses to seed back to the tracker and once the download is complete it disconnects from the tracker - essentially hitting and running.
stfu you moron. there's nothing illegal about p2p, it's just when you use p2p for getting copyrighted content. there's plenty of good legal content distributed over p2p, including many linux distros
This artical would of been allot better comming from someone who dosen't keep pissing and whining about Mac this Mac that!Get the fuk over it! No one uses Mac!

Why can't they test out the mac and Linux clients?
