Your opinion on a few programs

I need your opinion on a few programs

Which one is better as a BT client in terms of speed and resource usage Azeurus or bitlord?

Is Skype a good voice chat program?

**Chrono Archangel** · January 5th, 2005

i just started using Azeurus and im loving it right now. its probably gonna replace ABC...
it has more features and one that i fine pretty usefull is the possibility to download only the files you want within a torrent

Don't use Bitlord. It is a rip-off of a beta version of Bitcomet with changed icons. I hate these *******s who claim others hardwork as their own, and not giving any credit to the real author at all, there is no reference of Bitcomet in their site. So if you are going for Bitlord, use Bitcomet instead, although its latest build has the "torrent search" function left out.

No comment on the other two softwares you mentioned, since I have not touched them.

EDIT: I have been using Bitcomet, loving it too.

azeurus is the best that I have used for torrents. It have lets of info and isnt too complicated to use. Bitlord sucks giant toad...

**cooliscool** · January 5th, 2005

I love ABC.. could never get the hang of anything else, besides TorrentStorm which is also a great alternative.

N1ghtw0lf · January 5th, 2005

I use azureus, no doubt my pick if you don't mind java using a bit of your recources.

RZetlin · January 5th, 2005

None of the above you mentioned for BT.

I recommend BitTornado.

There are MUCH better ways to get stuff then torrents, someday you will all find them. Funny thing is, it's been around forever. I never have, and more then likely never will have a use for torrents. Thats just me though.

As for voice chat, Ventrilo is my personal fave.

5 minutes for me

hellmasterx · January 5th, 2005

azerus, nothing else.

Kiroshi · January 5th, 2005

I'm tellin you try BitComet!! It's a damn good BT program. I WILL convert you!!!

Player-X · January 5th, 2005

tried that before azureus

**Razor Blade** · January 5th, 2005

Azureus is a resource eating whore, but I like it. Bit tornado isn't much better if you have many torrents going, but they both work great for me. I have tried about 3 others and the rest just don't wanna do good speeds.

So Bit Tornado and Azureus. You pick

Player-X · January 5th, 2005

azureus as I have 1 GB of ram,more than enough,besides I like plugins

That's the reason why I never even tried Azureus but chose ABC instead, which works fine for me

I tried Skype on my own computer, but it doesn't run well since it's below minimum requirements

And I don't feel like installing and making phonecalls in the living room. But I heard it works great
