Bit Torrent clients

[-ff-]

So whats a good one?

I'm looking for ease of use here - I dont want to have to spend hours trying to figure out how the dammned thing works.

I just downloaded the one from the BitTorrent Site. It's simple... click the link and it asks you where to save it.

[Akeel]

azureus

[firestar]

Speaking of Bit Torrents, does anyone ay good bit torrent sites to find good underground stuff? Preferably, breaks, d&b & hiphop/dancehall?

[bungoshlung]

torrentspy.com's decent

[cubed]

I second akeel's choice of azureus.

[MissBehavior]

I use bit tornado...It's pretty cool.

[neoh]

Abc.

:)

[Gusto]

i third azureus.

[Dr. Doom]

Doom uses Bit Tornado, but he will be trying azureus sometime soon.

[charly]

azureus or abc

[TheCooker]

good luck finding a tracker site...the public ones are going the way of the DoDo bird...lol

[stringbeans]

if abc didnt crap out with downloads after a certain period of time then i'd be still using it.

2nd choice is azureus

(Thanks to Vince in the Pod6 forums for introducing me to the fucking coolest google hack ever)

Hop on to The Greatest Repository of Human Information To Date. Then type words for a mix you are looking for (IE radio soulwax essential), then place an extra command in the box:

filetype:torrent

If you don't have a bit torrent client, google it. =p

And huzzah! A list of torrents all over the web of what you're looking for. Good luck trying to shut that one down, MPAA.

The world is becoming more and more like Snow Crash every day. And google is looking more and more like the CIC database as well.

on a sidenote, with the demise of suprnova.org, where do you find your torrents?

[Canar]

The one problem with Azureus is that it's hardly a lightweight client. Compared to other Bittorrent clients (ABC is the other one I'm familiar with), it hogs a lot of memory. Mind you, I've only really noticed slowdown when I start exceeding 20GB or so of concurrent downloads on a machine with 1GB of RAM, so this might not apply to you.

That said, I use Azureus, because it's easy and pretty.
