I use Linux, so the choices I have for bittorrent clients that can have multiple torrents loaded into it are limited.
I love Azureus for Linux. Even though it uses Java, it isn't as much of a resource hog as it is in Windows. I currently have 250+ torrents loaded into it, and am regularly seeding 32 or more at the same time, with virtually no slowdown on my Pentium III 800 mhz 384 megs RAM. I can regularly achieve over 500KB/s with it, too. All I need to do is forward one port and I'm set.

uTorrent for Windows is nice, too. I use it on the computers that have Windows. I haven't really fully tested it (by loading 250 torrents into it), but it seems pretty fast and stable. Definitely a better choice for Windows than Azureus, since Java seems to be sluggish on Windows.

Personally I prefer uTorrent (on Windows). As people have said before, Azereus is a resource hog! I love how uTorrent is a stand alone exe, but still has all the functionality of 99% of all other clients. Great job by the dev team.

uTorrent all the way. It's not just the memory resources that Azureus uses up, but for some reason (probably the threading was done better) things connect faster, download faster, report more reliably, and bounce bad hashes better.

This is on WindBlows (unfortunately).

uTorrent is the BEST. It's a small program wich uses less memory than other torrent clients (like Azureus)

I prefer Azureus as i am a graphich kind of guy. I like the layout and how it is also based in Java. It also has cool features like adding multiple torrents at once and setting a queue for them to start.

Well, I finally made the switch to uTorrent and I like it a lot. The look and feel is nice and for some reason it doesn't rape my internet whenever I have it on like Azureus does and it uses a lot less system resources. So far I am happy with the switch but only time will tell.

i think a lot of ppl like me and u have switched from azureus

im a linux user and i use KTorrent

it just work perfect

I use uTorrent. What torrent client do you use?

I use both uTorrent and BitComet on Windows and Azureus on Linux.

i also use µTorrent coz it's light, less of hassle, works perfectly.
i have also used bit lord and i think it's also good.

When working on a quite slow computer like me, the best programme to download torrents is certainly uTorrent. If you don't know a lot about working with torrents, then this is the best. I can recommend it to anyone who starts working with torrent downloads!

Like most other Windows users (and Linux/Mac users now that Wine supports it), I use uTorrent. It'll really be the bee's knees once they get the web UI working with it.

That's the one thing that Azureus has over uTorrent right now: a working web UI that you can administer remotely.

My suggestions are :

BitTornado (or ABC) for Desktops
TorrentFlux for servers-remote

BitComet for win, Azuerus for nix

azureus rocks, a stable one, i like it better than the "official bittorrent" client.
