Best torrent software?

[TetraSky]

Between uTorrent and Tixati, which one uses less activity on CPU and such?

I don't have a fast net connection(7Mb/s down and 1.2mb/s up) and I know torrents can sometimes take a long time to download so I don't want to taking up a lot of usage in the background.

So little that the task manager reports up to 4% cpu usage while downloading on my CPU. (Though it was mostly at 0~1%)

But really, it's not noticeable. I've often let it run in the background while gaming and haven't noticed any problem.

Do any of these programs have any hiccups with pausing a download, putting the computer to sleep, waking it up and then starting the download again?

Are there ways to verify(within the software) that it downloaded the full file(s) correctly?

I've used Qtorrent, Utorrent, Deluge, Vuze and Tixaxi

 

Deluge, Vuze Classic mode and Tixaxi are my picks.

Currently using Tixaxi, have so far always had relatively full speed in all things within reason of course (seed:peer ratio). Super lightweight as well.

 

In conjuction, Daxtars Shutdown Timer, a great bit of kit, software that will shutdown/restart/logoff however you want with an hours or minutes timer.

Increments in variable,... '256' minutes or hourly blocks,..4 hours, whatever you want. Handy to have.

Using the scheduler in Tixati, I've easily managed to set it so it stops all downloads after a certain time and restart them at another time. As well as shutting down the PC immediately when all downloads are completed or at a specific time.

If you want it to sleep, there is the "allow system suspend when all downloads complete", which rely on your PC to put itself to sleep by itself.

As for actually waking it up... I don't know. I don't see that option. But could probably be done using the task scheduler of windows if you want it at a specific time.

 

And yes, using the "force check" right click option, but it shouldn't be an issue 99.99% of the time... I sure haven't had to use that in a looong time.

If you don't mind tinkering a bit, rTorrent is probably the most powerful client there is. That's what I use on my seedbox. At home, I use KTorrent when on Linux. KTorrent is amazing. Absolute power house. It's open source so its free and there are no ads. Its far more powerful than uTorrent. When I use Windows, I use Deluge. Its also open source and has a really strong community behind it. I've never had any issues with it. My only complaint with Deluge is there isn't a way to ban, kick, or snub peers. But there might be a plugin for that, I'm not sure.

qBittorrent is about as good as it gets for free in my opinion.

Fabulous BitTorrent!

[FLAMMABLEGAS17481]

Utorrent is what i use, but the new versions urk me.

I use like version 2.0.1 from like 2010 or something

http://www.oldversion.com/windows/utorrent-2-0-1

Has no ads, does what I need. 

No particular reason I use uTorrent, no advantages that I go to it for, but it's what I'm used to. 

same with me.

[Spongy141]

Just get uTorrents (Free) then torrent uTorrents Plus....

[Mujteba]

Bittorrent because it has all the functionality I want and the colour scheme looks really nice.

 

Just make sure to download build 35704 or earlier otherwise it will not let you disable the adds even through the advanced settings.

On newer versions it automatically switches them back on so stick to whatever version you are using btw.

[The Crazed Child]

i think Adblock Plus gets rid of the ads in uTorrent

[TheProfosist]

Vuze in classic mode

[TheProfosist]

Also rtorrent + rutorrent

[The Crazed Child]

its not in a browser

i thought the same thing, but i used to get ads in utorrent but now i don't for some reason ever since i installed APB

[mathijs727]

Vuze Leap (super simple version, maybe too simple)

 

Dont like uTorrent, if you want to run it 24/7 then dont pick it. After about a week it will stop downloading ANYTHING (new torrents and running torrents). Currently looking for a replacement (something with a Web UI with mutliple download folder (preferably multiple user support) that looks good)

Anyone who said uTorrent or Bittorent are crazy. They are both filled with advertisements and useless crap. Download qBittorrent, it is opensource and multiplatform and works great.

[BuntzenB]

I really like vuze. Ive tryed them all and like vuze the best

[TheProfosist]

I really like vuze. Ive tryed them all and like vuze the best

ill agree if you mean classic vuze

I like uTorrent, you can even control it by the means of an Android app and send a link to the torrent from there. Pretty neat stuff.
