DHT will come, give it time. and lets not kid ourselves, Gnome BT sucked serious anus. Its nice to see a proper client in heron.

Unfortunately it crashes more often than a drunk NASCAR driver. Azureus may have a lot great features, but it's resource usage is ridiculous. Utorrent is great on windows, but it's not a Linux application. Using wine just slows things down. Transmission is way to simple. It has a cool icon though. Ktorrents alright, but it could be better. It's a pity that can't meld all the bit's of the the top clients to make a super client. Deluge wouldn’t be bad if it actually worked. Unfortunately it crashes more often than a drunk NASCAR driver.

It's written in Python, so it can't be fast or lightweight. Just look at it's resource usage when you run it. It uses 30-40 megs less then Azureus, so i prefer Azureus. Transmission - too simple, like "kidware" or something. Yes, deluge is both unstable AND resource hog too. It’s written in Python, so it can’t be fast or lightweight.

Transmission is the obvious choice here. In fact it was the obvious choice when Transmission 0.5 came out.

The interface is much nicer, as the most relevent details for each torrent are display tabularly. Transmission is alright, but nothing on Deluge. *sigh* Why not deluge?

Those suggesting Azureus can blow me. Every time I tried Azureus on Linux or Windows there was a crash, file which didn't save, a Java related error, or some other fucking problem. And sorry, no, it wasn't MY fault, I scrounged several forums, wikis, help sites, IRC, you fucking name it, it didn't matter what I tried Azureus always wanted to throw me some curveball. If Azureus is your choice and it works for you, I'm happy, but for me it just never worked, and no I'm not willing to try it again and no I don't care about your poor rebuttals to my post, your ego doesn't matter so save yourself and others the pain of trying to feel better defending something you enjoy, no one cares. Transmission is great, Ubuntu is smart for choosing it. Transmission is a beautiful, easy to use client, I love it.
