Azureus was built using Java... So some call it crap! Used it when i had Ubuntu... Utorrent is cool! Yeah! But now using Flashget.. as my all-in-one download manager... including torrents.. :P Just to have a different taste! ;)

Azureus implements the BitTorrent protocol using java language and comes bundled with many invaluable features for both beginners and advanced users:

* Multiple torrent downloads
* Upload and download speed limiting, both globally and per torrent
* Advanced seeding rules
* Adjustable disk cache
* Only uses one port for all the torrents
* UPnP sets the forward on your router
* Can use a proxy, for both tracker and peer communications
* Fast resume
* Can set a default download dir and move completed files
* Can import torrents automatically from a set dir
* Highly customizable interface
* IRC plugin included for quick help
* Embedded tracker, host your own torrents, automate your shares (periodic scanning of a dir)...
* Distributed Hash Table: host on it a completely decentralised torrent and/or benefit from it when the tracker is offline.


Many useful plugins are available:

* Auto-adjustment of your upload and download speeds according to your network charge with Autospeed
* Auto-download torrents with RSS Feed Scanner
* Schedule upload and download speed limits with Speed Scheduler
* Receive a mail when a download finishes with Status Mailer
* Add numerous info on torrents (Extra seeding columns, Country Locator)
* Remote control Azureus through the Swing Web Interface or the HTML Web Interface

    He he! Any one tried Flashget?:eek: ?

    I've seen flashget as a peer when I download torrents, but was not sure about it's abilities. I use utorrent coz it's easy and portable (I can carry it on my flash drive :) ) Also it needs very less RAM (about 7-8MB) compared to other clients. Also it's just a small exe file. No bigloads of dlls and unknown files packed in a folder.
    So I use utorrent on windows...

    I've not tried azureus just because it's java, java programs tend to use too much RAM. On linux (mine is Zenwalk Linux) I use KTorrent, It's the best client available for linux in my opinion.
