    Which torrent client is the fastest and easiest to use?

    I've head utorrent is good for port forwarding. I currently use bittorrent but it is SLOW. I know some of the reasons why (NTL!) but I am wondering if a different client will improve things.

    Cheers

    Easynews.com - for the main reason that it's not a torrent site. No 3rd party application to install. Never had any issues.

    Given all the talk about uTorrent logging and transmitting your IP address, I wouldn't touch it with any of yours.

    Azureus, for me.

    thats completely unfounded Kaiser

    I still use utorrent version 1.6.1 when it was still open source, saying that azureus is a good client also. Just try both as there the best and see which one suits you.

    Azureus is a pretty good client, but if you something that will use less ram then uTorrent is fine.

    Ignore Kaiser's comment, the reporting and transmitting of your IP is unfounded and completely untrue,

    You are safe enough with the version you are using. 1.7.1 onwards is being banned from some trackers, including a private tracker I am a member of.

    uTorrent are now owned by companies that are part of MPIAA and the RIAA. Just go to their homepage and see all the studios that they have entered into deals with. Conveniently, this all seemed to happen after they were bought out.

    somethin strange has to be goin on with utorrent, why would any of those companies be affiliated with software that lets people "steal" their movies etc?
    utorrent mightn't call home just yet but it will start soon enough i'd imagine. No harm really if you're usin it legally...;)
