Any one know a good bit torrent client?

I usually use Azereus. BitTornado and BitComet are other common ones.

I second Azureus.

I prefer BitTornado myself. Azureus can sometimes be a bit of a pain to get set up initially I hear.

BitTornado, under most circumstances, but if I need to grab a single file from within a torrented set, I use Azureus. Azureus is the most fully-featured client, but is a bit on the bloated side. Then again, all I really need under most circumstances is reliable upload throttling, as Comcast severs my connection for five minutes each time I saturate upstream.

Azureus. It's simply the more comprehensive BT client out there.

I'm partial to Another Bittorrent Client, personally.

what is a bittorent client? I am unfamiliar with that term.

It's a kind of peer to peer program like Kazaa.

Ah yes, ABC. Azureus like interface over a BitTornado core. Really should check that out one of these days.

I've found that Azureus has a bunch of shit I don't need and it bogs down my system a bit more. I definitely prefer it.

I use Azureus. ABC on occasion.

Downloaded it, now how exactly do I get it to work?

once it's downloaded and set up, with most bittorrent clients you just have to click on the .torrent file link provided by the tracker of the website you're going to, such as suprnova.org's tracker. then the client will pop up and start downloading the thing. make sure it's set to upload as well as download, which you can check by fiddling with the settings once it pops up, since most sites like that you maintain a 1:1 ratio on sharing.

I just use the standard client. I don't download many things wit BT so it's not much of a problem.
