are any clients particularly better than the other or are they all pretty much on par?

I find uTorrent to be the best personally.

BitTorrent

 

Limewire

was hoping you'ld post, is that the one which masks torrents against your ISP?

I use uTorrent.

uTorrent has an option for encryption on your torrents which will hide it from your ISP, so they can't throttle it's speeds.

 

 

 

 

 

Limewire

 

 

 

Pretty sure Limewire is not a bit torrent program, just a peer to peer one.

How do you turn on that option?

I use Azureas (windows) and kTorrent (linux). Rather fond of both of them, never particularly like uTorrent.

 

And most torrent clients have options for encrypting traffic. :P

Just drag the torrent on to the download window and limewire will manage it.

Thanks, although I very rarely download, when I use utorrent it's being an [wagon] to my computer, taking all the processing power of the processor, both cores, even if I set the affinity to one core. Leaves the computer unusable until I restart, since it crashes when I try to close it.

sound very unusual. utorrent usually uses very minimal processing power and memory, well it does for me and everyone else i know.

I know, and I tried reinstalling it and a few other things, none worked.

install? i didn't know you have to install utorrent. i thought it was just a single executable file you run.

I use uTorrent, and to enable the encryption Options>Preferences>BitTorrent>Protocol Encyption>Outgoing [Enabled]

Meh, Bittorrent does it for me. I have Azureas but I never use it. I managed to tweak my internet connection through some really obscure tool that I wouldn't recommend to anyone to raise my up speed to 60kB/s so I'm happy.

Just like everyone else, I use utorrent.
