What Do You Think Is Better Bittorrent or utorrent

[terrence77]

Can someone explain me where is the difference between Bittorent and uTorrent? I mean especially at functional level????

I used to use Azureus, now knows as Vuze then switched to uTorrent and never looked back.
Vuze is so slow and bloated now, you also need the Java runtime environment installed which I would sooner not have on my PC.

uTorrent is fast, small, does everything I want (web interface + rss feed downloading) and just works.

I installed JRE because of OpenOffice, don't really much need it in other cases
Right now I'm using uTorrent, but I personally think that all torrent apps are really the same, no torrent app can make your download/upload speed higher than it is, and if you seed more than 10 torrents, the PC starts running slower...
I also think that torrents are somewhat like Communism, because it makes you dependant from other people, and if nobody seeds the file then there is no chance that you will be able to download it...

i would say bittorrent is better,cause i heard its a little bit saver to download files..if its right or not,i have no idea..

I use bittorrent,the new design looks good and its fast.

I think all are the same work. All are the best but If I choose only one then I'll preffer Utorrent because it is much faster and easier than others.

AFAIK utorrent and bittorent are from the same developers, so their the same. the only difference between them is that utorrent is a smaller download / instalation then bittorrent

The difference between BitTorrent and uTorrent is currently minimal.
BitTorrent is bigger than uTorrent as it is installed by an NSIS installer and it bundles a toolbar (which is installed only if it is accepted). The separate BitTorrent DNA client is not bundled with BitTorrent any more.
uTorrent has no NSIS installer and downloads a toolbar only if the user accepts it, so the downloaded package is much smaller.

Doesnt matter what you have key thing to rember is the seeders and leechers more active it is more faster its going to be

personally i use utorrent because its very small and does same as others and new beta looks nice

I use utorrent as well. It is a matter of personal preference as to what client you use, but remember that the speed you achieve is dependant on your own network speed and that of the seeders/peers that your client connects to when downloading a torrented file. It also explains why some people can download files quicker than others, even if they are both on the same ISP and at the same speed. The difference is caused because different seeders/peers are involved. Sometimes, temporarily pausing a download and then restarting it can give quicker downloads because of this, but I generally leave the program to run overnight when I don't have any other Internet applications (Web/Email) open and active.

I rather utorrent, it use less memory than vuze...and it have file integrity check if the program crash

uTorrent, and always have, get full speed on almost everything depending on seeds of course

Very tiny, very tiny, very fast, easy to setup.

I use utorrent. I used to use limewire but I think that has been shut down now
