    No doubt this has been asked a million & one times before, but what's everyones favourite BT client?

    I’ve only recently got into BT - always had crappy download speeds in the past (actually still do), but BT seems to be the only way of downloading good quality TV episodes. I’m using Azereus atm, and while it seems like a great client, I find it quite unstable (slows my system down, and whenever I try to watch a video/use TV card, the desktop resolution goes wappy).

    I also tried the original client, but though it lacked the nice features/gui of Azereus.

    [Edit = Hex] Removed the bits about downloading TV. Don't worry about it, just a note for next time :) [/EDIT]

    I think that discussing torrent sites which list TV shows as you want is against forum policies.

    As for clients; there are a number of other ones - ABC, bittornado, etc. Just do a quick google for 'bit torrent clients'.

    I'm using Azureus, it just has the best plug-ins (RSS :rock: ) and I seem to be really lucky with my set up.

    Azureus is the best, I believe.

    And flextorrents.com is a great tracker for legal shareware torrents.

    Azureus here too. Although some downloads seem pretty slow and sometimes it can really chew up my connection. I just think I need to try setting it up better.

    Hmmm, I must be doing something wrong with Azureus...it seems fine for about 15-20 minutes, then it goes berzerk and eats my CPU (Azureus and the Java wotnot use roughly 50% of my CPU)...

    Making sure you have the latest Java as well as the latest version of Azureus usually fixes any problems. A lot of people seem to complain about slow downloads, etc. though. Mine seems fine, I can post up my settings if anyone is interested?
