Best Bit Torrent Client

Does utorrent mask your ip from RIAA/MPAA? I'm looking for something relatively safe for my daughter to use short of newsgroups.

Check out PeerGuardian for that: http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/

Thanks for the link NetRyder, I can't imagine in this light of day peeps still using bittorrent with the RIAA/MPAA busting folks.

Anyhow will check it out and set it up for my daughter.

Well PeerGuardian is just like antivirus software. It's only as good as the definitions. So I don't bother...

Anyone else use it much?

Don't worry, we are used to it by now

Basically, think of something like Kazaa, Limewire, but way better.

 

[bobsalot]

is it illegal. and btw that really hurts my feelings.

 

[Grandmaster]

Illegal only if you download illegal stuff using it.

 

[bobsalot]

o rite. so i found some san andreas torrents, if i download them would it be illegal. i already own the game btw.

 

[Grandmaster]

Yep, illegal.

 

[bobsalot]

I haven't even really read what people have said, I'm assuming its uTorrent, and man it better be.

uTorrent all the way, clean, small and great!

What have you guys found as the most optimal settings to configure your upload/download speeds as?

By this I mean so that the downloads come down at a reasonable rate, but your uploads dont kill the rest of your connection?

uTorrent.

There are 2 reasons why people don't use uTorrent:

1) They don't know it exists.
2) They are emo and like having different things even if they are rubbish in comparison.

 

[kcnychief]

Wow, that's very interesting.

By the way, the links in your sig don't work :dead:

EDIT: I am downloading at over 600kb/s through utorrent

Finally downloaded it this morning, this program 0wnz!!!

I think the general rule-of-thumb is to set your upload speed to 75% of your max upload rate.

I have my upload speed set to 10 and download speed set to unlimited.

uTorrent 1.5 is a good upgrade.

uTorrent 1.5 is a good upgrade.

It's the only version I've used so I can't compare, but I love it
