BitTorrent Client

[Armin]

What's a good, slick bit torrent client? I used to use Azureus, but it has become over-bloated as a media portal.

If you're looking for a super lightweight client, rtorrent is pretty awesome.  By itself, it's all operated through a terminal, though.  Getting used to it takes a while, but it's really nice when you do.  I has XMLRPC support and I think there are a few clients (some are even web-based) that make use of that.

If you're on windows, I think utorrent is a pretty common one.

Azureus still has classic mode, where the media layer crap isn't even loaded...

Their website is utorrent.com.  The names are used interchangeably. :P

Only because you can't register µtorrent.com.  :P

muTorrrent.com would confuse people.  Most people I know don't even know it's micro torrent.  :P

Maybe, but that's irrelevant.  Most people still call it utorrent. :)

µtorrent it is! Seems very light-weight. Loads incredibly fast compared to classic Azureus. Thanks.

Yeah, that's why I use it. It has a lot of the stupid features that I never use but like having without (as much) bloat as Azureus, doesn't hog resources nearly as much.
