Fastest Torrent downloader?

Featured Replies

Hello all,

 

I know this isn't a terrible "storage" related question but I was curious as to what people use for downloading torrents nowadays.  I use Vuze but so far have been pretty unimpressed with the speed lately and have thoughts of moving to transmission (yeah I'm a mac user)

 

What do people use?

Vuze is bloated as far as I am concerned.  Transmission has always worked well for me.  Though I rarely use torrents since moving to SABnzb and Sickbeard.

just for interest sake if you don't mind what news provider do you use?

I recently dropped astraweb after a ton of incompletes and went with SuperNews. They are a GigaNews reseller, so you get their completion, but without the price.

 

Go through this link to get it for $9.99 a month: http://www.supernews.com/super-special/#

Utorrent, good on both the Mac and pc, but I have also switched to usenet...

"downloading torrents" = oxymoron

I used rtorrent for years, but since switching to usenet and rarely looking for torrents, I no longer found the need to have an always running client. Now for those rare cases, I use uTorrent. Quick and easy.

 

As for usenet, I've been with Giganews for about 5 years now. I like what I see with supernews....hmmmm. Now its got me thinking, "How loyal am I to Giga?"

use transmission on my unraid and utorrent on my pc

 

odd basically did things the opposite direction. used to use usenet  a lot now mostly torrents (private trackers)

 

still use usenet now and then have a yearly astraweb account

 

here is a link to a yearly 96$ subscription thats 8$ a month

I switched to usenet a long time ago as well, supernews.  I very rarely use torrents these days, everything and more is on usenet as well and faster to download, no worrying about seeds, and no worrying about letters from your ISP.
