Right now i'm deciding between BitComet and Azeurus. (sp?)

Your recommendations? 

[redsniper]

azureus is awesome

[Windrunner]

utorrent is better, its small and resource friendly

Yeah I think i'll go with utorrent. Resource Freindly is one of my main objectives here. 

Thanks Windrunner.

Having used both BitCommet (extensively) and Azureus (briefly), I finally settled on utorrent. It's small and fast and does everything I need it to.

I agree, I use it as well. 

[Flipside]

I use U-Torrent, it's a nice program, pretty stable and doesn't slow down other software nearly as badly as some other clients.

What exactly is the difference between the Stand-Alone installer and the normal installer?

[peterc10]

utorrent is gd but cant compare to azures

[Starkweather]

Shareaza , but between the two, utorrent.

 Edit: Wow, utorrent wasn't a choice, I've never had any of those clients, so go with Shareaza.

I'll throw in another vote for Azureus.  It was quite a resource hog in the past, but I've seen a huge improvement with the most recent round of updates.

Depends.... what platform are you using?

[KappaWing]

Windows

µTorrent 1.5.437.

Unless you just love a huge footprint and java overhead, and messing with an endless multitude of pretty much useless poorly documented plugins, and enjoy restarting your client due to unknown causes of instability, and having to forward a TCP AND a UDP port (though that may have changed), then by all means Azureus will let you get your geek on.

Azureus also gets the nod if you want to set up a tracker on your PC although µTorrent can do that too (just with no interface to speak of), and who would when you can be tracked by Sladinki007 or Demonoid or the Pirate Bay or...well, you get the point.

I've never had any of these problems with Azureus. In fact I've had no problems at all with Azureus, and thats the main reason I have yet to even try µTorrent.

Azereus is the only one that's given me decent download speeds. End of discussion.

[Huggybaby]

It's a pretty old argument isn't it, µTorrent vs. Azureus. But it's really between those two.

<edit>
And the entire µTorrent program is around 160KB, yes, kilobytes. The Azureus installer is 8.4MB, I don't know how big it expands to.

[Flipside]

Azureus gave my firewall problems, that's why I swapped to utorrent, but other people may have no problems.
