Azureus follows a bit less "completionist" approach, it instead makes extensive use of DHTs and magnet links to operate a parallel "Azureus network" specific to the file being shared in addition to the bittorrent based public network. Azureus likes plug-ins and can be tweaked indefinitely, while bitComet believes in a small footprint & unique features that make life easier, e.g capturing, managing & accelerating all downloads, not just torrents. putting a translucent floating vwindow, creating cometzone & flvconverter. I first used bittorrent official client (boring but up-to-date protocol) bitcomet for the longest time (updates are extremely slow dowloads from download.com, get it from filehippo if you must), now I use Azureus (a resource hog, but very customizable, nice plugins) Azureus is meant for people with 512+ MB RAM, Pentium-M/Core|2/Turion,Athlon64X2 line of processors, XP or higher.

I am amazed at how democratic the whole process of file-sharing over BT actually is! Maybe even more <em>fair</em> and equal than our legal systems. The concept of the swarm and making sure it as a whole benefits, rather than individuals, is something I believe is essential to BitTorrent's success.
