Bit Torrent client suggestions
I thought I'd break up the election talk by asking for suggestions...

I had been happily using Azureus but it recently started acting up. What other clients do you guys use?

2. I agree, Azureus is the best.
They just came out with an update a few days ago, did you get that?

7. What OS?
What OS are you using? I'm using XP Pro and have seen no problems with it....so far.

8. I'm using Windows 98
I may just try to install it fresh.

I'm going to give ABC a shot first.

11. ABC is also good
I used it for a long time before switching over to Azureus. I'm in no way an expert on this but your problems may come from XP. I suspect that there is something in this new version that is not compatable with 98.

12. I've got ABC up and running
I must say that on first glance it does appear to be less resource intensive than Azureus.

I'll have to see how it reacts when I'm seeding a bunch though.

4. ABC - Another Bittorrent Client
Azureus started hogging all my bandwidth. Since I switched it's been all good. B-)

5. Check out a search
Go to this link:

http://sourceforge.net/

Search for BitTorrent in the search option.
