O.T. Bittorrent Programs.

Hiya Peoples.
Anybody here use a Torrent program to download stuff? If so, What?
recommendations, And links please.

I like and use Azureus, though it uses a fair bit of RAM, not a drama
if you've got plenty.

For something slimmer, www.utorrent.com

 

I use utorrent on Windows... great program! Very light on resources, very
stable and still full featured.
Azureus is the main alternative but it's rather bloated in comparison.
Anything else you might consider lacks at least a few features compared to
these two.

For OSX I use Azureus, but I'm hanging out for that promised port of
Utorrent.

I use utorrent after originally using Azeurus.

For torrents I use www.torrentbox.com (and use the global search)

 

I use ABC (Another Bittorrent Client), and usually look in www.torrentspy.com and www.mininova.org for the torrents themselves.

 

Anyone downloaded anything without a trojan from this source ??
Buggered if I can !!

 

you need the free version of avast you do .

 

www.torrentspy.com
www.thepiratebay.org

and then find what I want on www.torrentspy.com

Thanks for this stuff peoples.
Trying out Utorrent with a few torrent sites, will see how it goes.
Only prob I have is that Firefoxs downloader program keeps interfering
when I click on a torent to download, It causes an error when Utorrent
tries to open, I have to save the torrent location first then click on
the saved file to get things started. This normal with those using Firefox?

No, not normal... try checking your file associations.

Can OSX use WINE? Utorrent will run on WINE.

 

Hmmm didn't think of that... might have to investigate it.

In my experience - yes.

Most scientific discoveries are heralded by a tentative "Hmmm. That's funny..." instead of a jubilant "Eureka!"
