    What guy, and what reason did he give? There is very little difference between BT clients. Please note that we do not discuss piracy on this site. I use Vuze myself.

    Bitcomet isn't that bad of a program, IMO, it shows the IP's you are connected to and can be used as default for all downloading (I don't do that but i did by accident one time). i use isohunt.com for the torrents and Bitcomet takes care of the rest.

    I thought that only some did. Limewire for instance (i may be wrong here, its been awhile since I've used it) did not show the ip address's of the host but only that the file was being downloaded from "X" amount of sources.

    Ya, I remember them getting the cease and desist order. Just using it for example purposes.

      Vuze, to my understanding, is written in java. if you are using a old/outdated Java VM, it's going to run slow.

      I am a Mac user and I use Folx. It's a free 2 in 1 app: download manager and torrent client.
