Been using BitTornado as a client for some time now and for a while, I also tried the built-in torrent downloader of the Opera browser. BitTornado looks okay but I was wondering if there are any other clients worth looking into out there.
I was checking Wikipedia and the list of clients there also indicated the usage share:
Xunlei: 29.3%
µTorrent: 25.8%
Vuze: 24.0%
BitComet: 4.3%
Transmission: 3.3%
BitSpirit: 2.0%
Haven’t heard of Xunlei before but it turns out it’s the most commonly used bittorent client in China, thus the huge popularity in terms of usage share. Outside of China, µTorrent and Vuze seems to be the more popular ones.
What do you guys use and which ones the most efficient client?

Thanks for your suggestions. One thing I’ve got noticed is that banks in addition to financial institutions understand the spending habits of consumers plus understand that most people max out and about their cards around the getaways. They wisely take advantage of View details fact and start flooding your current inbox in addition to snail-mail box with hundreds of no-interest APR credit card offers immediately after the holiday season comes to an end. Knowing that if you’re like 98% of all American public, you’ll rush at the chance to consolidate consumer credit card debt and move balances towards 0 interest rates credit cards.

i’ve been hooked with torrents for about 6 years now. and i’ve tried several clients back then until i found µTorrent so charming. but now i found my new love in xunlei to which most newbies would contradict. yes it is in chinese yet any brilliant mind can understand it by instinct. but for those who cannot by instict, there is however an english version of xunlei. just google it.
µTorrent will always be µTorrent and yes i used to love µTorrent since its first version until its most recent stable version 2.2 even its beta version 3.0. but now as i earlier confessed, i found my new love in xunlei. coz nothing beats the speed and the thrill that xunlei makes me ride on.

used Vuze on a mac, but it is a hog in resources. Switched to Miro, love the subscription to rss, auto download. Seems faster too.
Kevin says:
uTorrent. and BitBlinder for privacy. The Government won’t find me. hehe.

µTorrent for me. Simple UI, allows me to limit download/upload speeds especially when you are sharing internet connection with others, and it does the job. =)

ubuntu has its own default torrent downloader… mas mabilis ang speed ng download so whenever i download a file/movie (whatever)… i use the one in ubuntu then saka ko na lang itransfer

Azureus / Vuze, runs on anything though kind a resource hog sometimes

rtorrent because i use it in a headless server and connect to it via rtgui.

Definitely uTorrent. Very very light on resources. And it just… works.

Running Linux Mint 8 XFCE and prior to that(Linux Mint8 Helena with Gnome) was using KTorrent due to it’s scheduling functions (despite requiring KDE libraries) and now using Deluge
Starshadow Rivaulx says:
I’m running on Linux Mint, and so far the client I like best is Deluge. It’s a really sweet “set and forget” kind of client. :)
tsokslam says:
another utorrent user for the count
Vidar says:
Xunlei user here. It has english version called Thunder. I used to prefer uTorrent but when version 2 came out, download speed is sometimes unstable. Probably because of the new protocol and bandwidth management. With Thunder, I always reach my maximum download speed ASAP.
jojo30 says:
utorrent for me as well.. I tried vuze but didn’t like it.

Jon says:
@Sir Abe,
I currently use Xunlei, aka “Thunder”. It is a Chinese download manager with Bittorrent support. I use it mainly because my ISP does not work well with uTorrent, I can’t max out my bandwidth, or any other client.
I was forced to use Xunlei now, but from my previous ISP, I swear by uTorrrent. It is simple, powerful and lightweight, it does not even hog system resources, even with multiple downloads and uploads at the same time. Bandwidth management is also very easy. Others I have tried were BitComet and the official Bittorrent client. The former was too slow and such a resource hog, and the latter I found too bland and does not have the features I need.
nico says:
µTorrent is small at around 200+ kb, and tests show that it’s faster than Vuze. Yung Xunlei ata walang English version eh.
