Azureus

nerd I run it on Linux using either the web frontend or VNC to control depending on what I'm doing.
And I get no speed issues when I fire it up to download my Linux ISO's. All perfectly legal and above board.

After using BitComet for a long time switched to utorrent and the difference is amazing, fantastic bit of kit and the web front end makes things very easy if you run it on a machine other than your main one.

Yeah, i might move to that when the new media machine is built. But as it'll be going from 512MB to 2GB of RAM not sure it'll matter a great deal hehe

Utorrent, with all the IP addresses plugged to stop the Nazis listening in.

Instructions available on request!

Cracking little program.

Likewise, plus peerguardian. The RSS support is great - now it's set up, all my regular downloads get queued automatically, saves checking every morning!
