I've heard Azureus is supposedly better because it does not fuck up your computer.
Well?

I've heard Opera is supposedly better than Firefox because it was not coded in javascript.

Azureus sucks sure it has good features, but it's slow and it's written in JAVA, which means it's a BLOATED PIECE OF SHIT.

yeah azureus eats RAM like it's firefox, utorrent is sexy and will probably get you laid. Most likely against your will.

utorrent sucks. it has an internal download cap. azureus consistently maxes out my connection.

utorrent all the way. there's no reason for azureus. well, maybe if you want to clog up your pc for no reason.

yeah, i didn't really like the uTorrent internal transfer cap.

i remember that caused a bunch of shit when it first came out. although besides that, its an excellent client.

personally, i prefer azureus, only for the reasons that 1) it supports encryption and 2) i only brought my mac to college.

yes, its bloated, but my computer can handle it perfectly fine. although if i can ever get uTorrent working or crossover, i -might- use that instead.

although, personally, on my PC back home, i was in love with ABC.

it rocks, but its rather old now.

uTorrent is associated with PeerFactor SARL, a french company with close ties to RetSpan, a french anti-piracy organization. Because of that, and since utorrent will definitely stay closed-source, it is very safe to assume that utorrent will try to pull some stupid shit in the future.
