Best Bittorrent client---FOR LINUX

Name: Anonymous 2006-04-30 20:36

Title says it all.  utorrent has no linux port or this thread wouldn't even be here.

Among the others out there for linux, which is the best?

Azureus with ConsoleUI and Swing Web UI for amazing headless torrent action. I have a machine in my closet torrenting 24/7.

i use bittornado.  it works fine for me, now that i've figured out how to download only some of the files from a torrent.

azureus used like 200% of my ram.

Ktorrent and Rufus are both very nice.

^ Also forgot to mention G3, its interface is a lot like that of µTorrent.

I'm assuming you're too dependent on using a GUI...

Huh ? I use Azureus on a 224 ram machine and it works like a charm. Must be your sucking jvm config.

Don't suppose you know of a text-only client that handles multiple torrents and allows you to exclude files?

They dropped a line about MacOSX and Linux port in their FAQ.

I'd run ctorrent or BitTorrent from source--it's a collection of Python scripts, so you could run "bittorrent-curses.py foo.torrent". Works great. If you want to torrent multiple files, put them in a directory by themselves, and run "launchmany-curses.py --saveas_style 2 ." The "--saveas_style 2" option tells BT to use whatever download name the torrent specifies; run "launchmany-curses.py" by itself to see the many options.
