What is the Best BitTorrent Client?

With an estimated 50 million users at any given time of the day, BitTorrent has established itself as the leading way to share large files online. As a consequence, BitTorrent applications are among the most installed and most frequently used applications on today’s computers. So, what BitTorrent client are you using?

uTorrent has a dominant market share when it comes to BitTorrent clients. Along with BitTorrent’s increasing popularity, its base has grown to 30 million monthly users, leaving Vuze and the others far behind. But does this necessarily mean that it’s the best client, or the client preferred by TorrentFreak readers? Let’s find out.

We’ve restricted the results to a few of the most used clients plus ‘seedbox’ for the hardcore torrenters. If you’re not using one of these, please let us know what your preferred BitTorrent client is in the comments.

    Also, Transmission FTL. It’s missing so many features that a full-fledged torrent client should have. I could understand using it on netbooks, but most of the time this isn’t the case.

    Deluge is the best IMO, but is pretty obvious that uTorrent is the most popular, specially among Windows users.

    Why can’t you create a poll with more options? I find the choices a little bit odd. I understand that BitTorrent, Transmission, uTorrent and Vuze are the most popular, but who cares about BitLord? Where is Deluge, Halite, Ktorrent, rTorrent, Miro, Tribler, Opera, Wyzo, Firetorrent, BitLet, FrostWire?

    It would be interesting for example to see if people prefer full feature torrent clients, hybrid clients like ForstWire, simple browser solutions like Firetorent/Wyzo/Opera or on-line services like BitLet.

    Used to use Azureus, then Vuze when it rebranded itself…it had/has some good aspects to it. However, it is an absolute system hog, so when I reformatted I put on utorrent…similar design & function but a fraction of the footprint. I think a lot of Azureus users have found the same thing and migrated.

  • red

    utorrent 1.6.1

  • drk

    uTorrent, and from the looks of the poll, everyone agrees. Its lightweight and does the job.

    I’d say Vuze would have to follow. Yeah it’s bloated, but the whole open-source thing comes in handy, especially when you can load up mods that tamper stats on those private trackers that are oh-so-hard to seed on.

  • r0ck

    I gotta say Deluge as well. Some of the releases are screwed up sometimes but overall it’s the best client I’ve used so far. Lots of features, a system daemon that runs w/o GUI and low system usage. Definitely the no. 1 choice on Linux systems at least.

  • matt

    the question isn’t entirely clear, either – you ought to clarify it a bit more, or maybe run two tests concurrently:

    1) which bit torrent client do you think is the most popular?
    2) out of the clients you’ve used, which did you enjoy the most?

    As someone mentioned earlier – this poll is pretty much pointless: it should be: ”The most popular BT client”, as vast majority of us have never used all of BT clients out there!

    As for me, I tried only 3 different BT clients so far: the original BitTorrent, ABC and uTorrent. Currently I’m using only uTorrent mainly because it’s universally supported on virtually every private tracker there is! Plus it’s lightweight, extremely stable and yet incredibly powerful – it has all the features an average (and advanced as well) torrenter could ever wish for…

  • Zacqary Adam Green

    µTorrent is the best for Windows, but I said Transmission simply because I spend a lot of my time in OS X. One of the reasons I do that is because OS X has an easier system of typing things like the µ in µTorrent.

  • rene

    Vuze gives me pleasure in music and vids.

  • Jeff

    I used Azureus before it got changed to Vuze in the 3.0 and above versions, but still use it now. I don’t bother with any of the new interface and instead use it in the classic GUI mode.

    Yes, some say it is bloated and can be a system hog, but when you’ve got 2 GB of memory, it’s overall footprint is relatively small. Heck even Firefox when open uses more memory than Vuze does.

  • Humble Opinion

    People who haven’t tried all of the clients in the poll have no business voting.

  • Warhammer666

    I get everything that i need through vuze before i was with lime wire and vuze is far better

  • Gordon

    Vuze/Azureus:

    1. Multi-platform. I can use the same client on all of my systems.
    2. LAN transfer. Auto-detection of computers on LAN with the same torrents works, and works well.
    3. Bandwidth limiting works. Every version of uTorrent refuses to limit bandwidth, regardless of settings.
    4. More features / better UI than uTorrent. I prefer advanced control over settings. uTorrent refuses to let me have that.
    5. Faster than uTorrent. UI responds faster. Maximum transfer speed on the same torrents is higher.
    180MB RAM usage and 20MB disk space is nothing out of 8GB and 2.5TB.

    All in all, Vuze/Azureus kicks uTorrent in the balls (several times) on any system with modern hardware. If you’re stuck with Windows 98 on a Pentium III 800MHz with 256MB RAM, feel free to use uTorrent.

    I’m a little biased, but: Azureus, then Vuze (in Az2.5 UI) all the way.

    Used the Vuze UI for a while as well, it was rather nice, but hid/destroyed too many features I needed (double-click opens the torrent’s details in Az2.5 UI, rather than other random functions in Vuze UI).

    I am quite fond of Monsoon, it is not feature complete yet but the backend library is one of the most functional and well coded ones in the round up.

    Deluge has some potential but tends to be so riddled with bugs it alternates between being close to useful and utterly broken with each release. Their upstream also doesn’t handle bugs well.

  • fdrcompany@gmail.com

    Well, I’m shocked there are so many choices that people use (across both platforms) that were not on the list. And as so many people have noted, it really only shows the personal preferences or most popular, not necessarily the best since most of us have not actually used all of them. So, with this in mind, perhaps someone or somepeople can come up with an actual test and outline the outcomes in relation to (yes, per platform), but features, usability, look and feel, speed, error correction, security, additional features, etc. And show it to us (with download links of course) in a spreadsheet like format were people can read, learn, and download without every single person having to do complete trials and testing on their own, in a more or less unscientific method. (SMILE) Food for thought, thanks again, Dwayne fdrcompany@gmail.com

  • RoestVrijStaal

    Deluge rox
    This program can used on Linux and Windows, and it works great.
    Halite is a nice project, however, it’s still too unstable for me.
    BitComet sux thanks to it’s ads of his developers.
    BitLord is an ad-bloated BitComet rip-off (BitLord was also the reason why the BitComet-devs closed sourced BitComet when it was still open source).
    BitTorrent Mainline 6 is the same as uTorrent since Bittorrent Inc. has bought uTorrent. Also the connections of Bittorrent Inc. to the MAFIAA are really nasty.
    Transmission is a nice program, however I miss some functions.
    ABC, G3-Torrent, Rufus, Torrent Swapper, BitTyrant, BitTornado, Burst!-Torrent are obsolete.
    Vuze sux since it goes commercial.
    With Tribler you could only download movies…
    Shareaza, Ares, LimeWire, FrostWire and Cabos have BitTorrent-support with too less functions.
    So only Deluge is the right BT-client for me :)

    Torrentfreak,

    Next time you make a poll, would it be possible to separate out by Operating System? At least that way, users who don’t run Windows will be able to see what software other users are running on their respective operating system.

    Thanks.

    I use utorrent exclusively now, tried most of the other Windows Clients and utorrent simply works the best for me. In truth though there is no “Best” torrent client. Use the one that works best and has the right features for you.

    Vuze/Azureus has a ton of useless features and is a system hog. Aliens and Big Brother aren’t coming to get you, stop being so paranoid with your 1000 plugins. Also, it’s Java based, therefore it stinks. I will not go buy a super computer to run a memory hogging torrent client. Just let me download my torrent. That’s all. No CAD design in my torrent client, just a lean fast torrent client.

    Use uTorrent, don’t waste your time with Vuze/Azureus.

    I like deluge, transmission has been getting more featureful, but I still don’t care for the UI.

    rTorrent is fine if you want command line/webUI only.

    KTorrent is passable, but is too KDEish for me.

    Monsoon is too early in development, but it looks like a mono version of deluge to me.

    Vuze is pretty lame. Azureus has always been bloated because of its use of java, and Vuze just tacks on a bunch of shiny garbage.

    uTorrent is fine on windows, I guess, though trusting a torrent app that’s not open source seems like complete idiocy.

    And to the person who thought deluge being written in python is an issue… your are an IDIOT. Python is a great language, bazillion times better than java. If python really caused large CPU overload it wouldn’t be used to run large websites on platforms such as Django. Python programs can be close to as efficient as native c/c++ programs, and if you explicitly address code bottlenecks, there’s barely a difference. Likewise, deluge is using libtorrent, which means core functionality isn’t running in python, it’s c++. Incidentally, rTorrent also uses libtorrent.

    MP3 ROCKET

    The newest free version (5.2.1) has TORRENTS! It’s a little hard to find in the interface, but go into the “Watch” tab then switch the category dropdown to “bittorrent.” Right there is all the top torrent sites by order of popularity. Very cool.

    I’ve been using the Rocket for about three weeks now. Overall, I think it does the best job of bringing it all together. It has the core Limewire-esque Gnutella plus they they’ve added live TV and radio streams, games and now torrents. Plus, the Gnuttella side seems to be faster than Frostwire or Limewire. I don’t know what they’re doing different to speed things up, but I’m liking it!

    Honestly is anyone surprised that Vuze is getting more votes? Considering every other client up there is either feature deficient, dead, or subject to fanboys that demean every other client with idiotic names directed at the use that don’t actually prove a thing about a client’s merits.

    Also Vuze sent out a notification to all their users about this poll.

    Heh, I guess I’ll be the second BitComet (latest, 1.12 currently or last on old core, which is 0.70) user in comments here :)
    Why? ’cause my “sorta seedbox” on fast connection has Windows, and I’m (very often) the first seeder, who has to transfer stuff to fastest leecher in shortest amount of time and go away unnoticed, so:
    + enforced minimal upload speed limit per task
    + 2-click manual temporary bans of slow & suspicious downloaders
    + detailed info on what peer has what pieces
    …are very useful. Moreover,
    + it has ability to edit task properties and save (manually modified) .torrent files
    + it can be integrated with eMule (which I use anyway. eMule works as before, but is paired with BitComet for simultaneous downloading from BT&DHT+eD2k&Kademlia, which is useful for finishing dead/stalled torrents)
    + torrent share with other BitComet users lets you download the same non-private torrents which your peers do
    + consecutive download allows preview of video, audio and some archived files
    + custom order of file downloads in multifile torrent (useful for series download by episode)
    + support of all Asian encodings in filenames/comments
    + it isn’t resource heavy yet it can utilize 1.5GB of RAM for caching (meaning less HDD strain)
    + web interface for remote administration
    ~ private trackers I use don’t ban it.
    No other client can offer ALL of these (very) important for me features, and BitComet’s flaws are tolerable for me. By the way, they are:
    - intrusive behaviour on OS (use .zip instead of .exe to install it or watch what you’re offered to install by default)
    - calls home (not a big deal since it’s China, but it’s better to cut these attempts with good firewall anyway; make sure to turn off software updates’ checks on first run)
    - built-in ads (which have to be turned off in options manually)
    - no support for RSS feeds
    - closed-source since the moment its code has been used to make BitLord (it means that no third-party plugins or improvements are available)

    In other words, it’s not a client “for everyone”, but it’s the best client for me so far. I wouldn’t recommend it for novices unless they’re Chinese.

    P.S. “What is the Best client?” can’t be decided based on such poll; actually you’re asking for “what is the most popular one in EU&US?”

  • jkhbg

    Vuze is good, but utorrent is better. Especially if somebody uses vuze on open trackers, it is good, but on closed trackers utorrent is the best choice on win and mac. Mac version utorrent is missing a lot of features, but linux wine solution is perverz a little bit. Why isn’t a linux version utorrent? There is linux version skype too.
    I relaized about this voting from vuze mac client Notification, so not a big wonder that Vuze is leading. In peerlest i see lots of (different version) utorrent clients, and only some vuze/azureus, so i do not think this vote shows the reality… A beginner/average user does not need such features Vuze offers. Not spoken about if somebody is just browsing, it is not important to open a bittorrent client, browser is enough. Vuze is little bit like dc, emule… Utorrent has most of the important features, most of us needs. But please, make a advanced (like win versions) Mac, and a great (multi user, seedbox) linux version!!!

  • Dan

    I’ve used several torrent clients in the past year or so and they all have their up-side. I actually have used peer-to-peer clients on the Gnutella network as well and to tell you the truth, Limewire isn’t all that bad. You just have to learn how to use it. I like Limewire’s ability to download the content the torrent is directing me to while still being able to access the Gnutella network for files I can’t find elsewhere. Having said that, I actually prefer MP3 Rocket over Limewire for a couple of reasons: 1) it has the Limewire core so it’s familiar and still operates just like any other Gnutella client. I like the fact that I can start a torrent file from within the Rocket, change tabs and go play a game while I’m waiting on my download. I can watch a TV or movie stream and when the torrent is finished and added to my library, it’s also added to the Gnutella network too because it’s in my library. That’s pretty slick if you ask me. The Limewire core is great, but I think that MP3 Rocket tied everything together and it works pretty darned well!

  • SAN

    VUZE IS DAMN COOL MAN……….

  • Dan

    Oops. The second reason is that I can do all of those other things on the Rocket for good old entertainment while the torrent is downloading in the background. Sorry, there’s no ability to edit my previous post. =)

    Yeah, it uses more resources. So what? Memory isn’t meant to be saved, it’s meant to be used. This always devolves into BS about who is the most l33t because they just use a CLI. Who needs a GUI, right? Maybe you just need a computer that isn’t from 1999.

    Hey all, if you haven’t looked at the results, Vuze is beating uTorrent by a pretty good percentage. uTorrent is crazy fast and I like it, Vuze is fast too but uTorrent can kick you off the net and Vuze you can search right in the program. That is what I think. Vuze won the poll so far anyway.

    I used to love Azureus, but Vuze is a bloated hog packed with useless crap. I could not believe just how much computer resources were freed up when I tried uTorrent.
    I’ve never looked back. Anyone still using or swearing by Vuze is either a noob or fooling themselves or they just don’t know what they’re missing.

  • Azureus Vuze woes

    Azureus Vuze is slowly becoming crap. On opening it spams you with a message to join the stupid Vuze HD Network. This is every time you open Vuze and there are no options to disable it. It will nag you and won’t remember your answer that you don’t want to fucking join.

    The in-built player thinks its a “God program” as it freakin stays on top of everything.

    The old Azureus was better as the spam and the crappy player were not implemented before.

    Vuze is a horrible BitTorrent client. It’s like Azureus in a greasy fat suit (with Azereus already pretty fat to begin with).

  • Xavier

    Vuze is by far the best and most efficient sharing program I have used so far. I am sure that alot of these responses are based on the lack of actually experiencing these other programs and trying each one for a fair amount of time. Like most people we just stand behind “our team” because it just happens to be by chance the first one we grew to understand, like, and then stick with because of the lack of patience and influence of prejudice toward anything other than the one we first and most of the time only use. I on the other hand have given them all an equal amount of game time and bench time and still have to say Vuze was my best experience yet. It is simple enough to use and has very few bad torrents unlike some of the others, and also it doesn’t seem to target porn and cram it down your throat even when your not trying to look for it.

    Well, I used Azureus up to Vuze. Vuze should not even be called “open-source” software anymore. They have not remained true to the open-source community’s values, and as such I will have nothing to do with them. Also, java is a terrible choice for a BitTorrent client. GTK or C++ would have been better.

    I do have some experience with the utorrent, but it irritated me that I was not permitted to decompile the source code. The merge with BitTorrent Inc. sort of sealed utorrent’s fate. No one should use that client anymore.

    I use Deluge now, and I love it. I’d say out of all three clients that I’ve used, it is the best implemented.

    If you don’t like Deluge, try Ktorrent. Halite will be a great Windows client some day, but it really isn’t ready for mainstream use yet.

  • iVuze1995

    Everybody who doesn’t use Vuze s*cks c*ck!!

    I vote Vuze the best because of the HD network and the easy availability of the best data.

    more faster and efficiend

    Dear idiots who don’t realize that you can turn features on and off in Vuze. For example the media player and the ads to join the hd network can all be controlled in the options.

    Also 62%.

    It seems like the people who like Vuze are mainly non-Americans. I dont know if Vuze has a greater marketing approach outside america or something. Maybe it just has more translations/ localizations than the popular uTorrent program but iono for sure….as I use uTorrent.

    I voted for VUSE. They linked this poll in their message notification box this week. I was glad to vote for it because I’m grateful for all the fun of torrents. I never tried any other client because I was so relieved I could make Azureus work. I liked Azureus better, but VUSE is still OK. If I get a sniff that someone making a comment is a real computer geek, I ignore it because the advice only applies to other geeks. I’d say this poll just means that geeks are in the minority. If they bring Azureus back, I’ll gladly switch back. Thanks.

    listen, your searches are limited, being a torrent users, I find I have to go out of vuse to find the torrents I want…why is that …I know you have a limited search capacity. offer us a safe haven to download and we will, if we know you are protecting us as torrent users, then I, have in my experience felt that I would join the community (meaning subscript! if it was low cost to begin with, but safety must be promoted, a safe haven in a storm is what I advise.

  • felix

    after reading posts – never knew that utorrent even had a mac version? vuze (started using when it was azureus) is solid, easy to use and I have never had a problem with it on my mac…or the windows system I run on my mac…yeah. Vuze is good but needs to dump the “browser”.

    BitTorrent SUCKS.

    I used BitTorrent, and when I opened a torrent file, it was getting less than 5 kb/s, for an hour.

    I get fed up with it and close it, then open uTorrent, and INSTANTLY, the SAME TORRENT was getting 300+ kb/s.

    So yes, uTorrent is the best :)

  • SexyTool

    All of you Vuze haters are deluded, or simply so badly skilled you couldn’t work it.

    Vuze/Azureus is an advanced client, i’ve been using it since it came out with good ‘ole SpeedScheduler 1.1 and AutoPilot 1.0

    I’ve run uTorrent, ABC, BitLord, basically if it’s available on the windows platform i’ve [b]run and tested it.[/b]

    When configured properly Azureus/Vuze is provably the fastest.

    The same swarm that azureus got 1megabyte / second in, uTorrent got 30kilobytes.

    uTorrents’ UpNp, De-centralised tracking and much more are simply broken and ineffective.

    Azureus does not have such a problem.

    If you really want speed and reliability there is no two ways about it.

    Azureus is #1, the king and it is well worth the “Bloat”.

    I really don’t see how you can call Vuze bloat by the way…. uTorrent uses 30-50mb of ram, Vuze uses 80.
    Both with 40 odd torrents queued.

  • Edjuizzyu

    Sexytool, I agree with you. I use both Vuze and uTorrent. For me, Vuze works the best. Maybe because I used some time into configuring the system and it works way faster than uTorrent. uTorrent works fine, just that Vuze is faster for me. The java doesn’t bog my system down. Love all the bells and whistles that it takes to configure exactly what I want. The speed scheduler is awesome. Vuze has to be a winner with me.
