    I’ve had nothing but issues with Azureus on linux or windows, even though I like the features. We’ll see if this can help out.

    UPnP is NOT supported

    personally and professionally speaking, azureus sucks. a resource hog, instable, error messages (or even simple warnings about upnp that i couldn’t care about if i tried) that DON’T GO AWAY. seriously, i click ‘hide’ and it stays there. screw azureus. qbittorrent is the shit.

    I’ve been using qBittorrent for a little while now and love it! Was using uTorrent under winXP and loved that; as luck would have it, qBittorrent is very similar in look, feel and usability. Recommended!

    Have qTorrent and qBitTorrent been a little bit mixed here? There are two separate programs.. one is http://thegraveyard.org/qtorrent.php and the other is http://qbittorrent.sf.net.
