    uTorrent here as well (when I'm using Windows - Transmission is the best on OS X).

    Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

      I use none but I understand there is an experimental FireTorrent add-on for Firefox Browser.

            Azureus, the version before they turned it into that abomination "Vuze". I think it's still available. But now I just run rTorrent (console mode client) on my Linux-based file server.

                  I also recommend uTorrent for the same reasons stated above. The first client I used was BitComet, but I gave up on it because of the high system load and annoying adds. uTorrent is small, fast and adds-free.

                    I prefer uTorrent. It's lightweight and seems to have a low memory profile. My only quibble is that it always minimises to the taskbar when I press the close button

                      I use µTorrent (yea that's a µ, a mu, not a u, just press Alt Gr+M) But I use Azureus sometimes when I need someone quick, it's much faster (but it has a tiny file cache so it rattles my hdd too much for seeding - if I want to do something in the foreground as well, which is pretty much always)

                        µTorrent primarily. One feature that has not been mentioned yet is the ability to selectively download files within a torrent. For example you may want to initially download only the nfo file to see if you really want the rest of the files, etc. I also use Free Download Manager's torrent plug in at times because I put it on every machine so it is available.

                            I'm using the Vuse version and it works Ok it just tries to look like WMP/tunes type UI. Too apathetic to change!

                                Vuze - partly because there is quite a lot of content there.

                                  µTorrent[^], because it allows solves just one problem, and does that one thing right: when clicking a torrent link, I can download that thing to my disk.

                                  Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

                                    Too disinterested to bother, I use it to get TV shows from TVTorrents and thats about it. I have no interest in watching low quality movies and I prefer to actually pay for software (games etc). I'm the sort of person who buys a CD changer, sticks 5 discs in and forgets about them. Pisses off the other half to the point where she changes the discs.

                                      I second uTorrent... And you can stop it from minimizing to the task bar in the options area. Just un-check the 'close to tray' option.

                                        You can download high quality movies as well these days, just takes longer.. (though the quality is not worth the extra time IMO, it's not like the movie actually becomes any better)

                                          I don't watch that many movies and we have one of those DVD delivery subscriptions which meets most of our needs. Any really good ones I want I buy as bluray movies. I'll not download hi def movies, takes too long. Did I mention I have a dramatic lack of patience.
