I’ve tried downloading the same torrent file with Azureus and with XTorrent and I consistently get a far better download rate with Azureus than I do with Xtorrent. Shame really as it would be nice to get rid of the bloat that is Azureus.

I am runng it on a mac powerbook G4 and it works flawlessly.The design is a perfect twin for the new i Tunes and looks great,and i was suprised at the amazingly fast download speeds,compared to other torrent engines.
Well done to the developer, i will definetely be sticking with this one….as i have had no bugs or problems so far!
“hope the program stays that way”

Exellent rating from me! :)

Should of expected as much from dave, the king of shotty overpriced alternatives to freeware. Keep up the good work dave, you’ve done it again!

Oh, great article by the way. Real impartial…

A bittorrent program with a price? I don’t think the idea of bittorrent was ever supposed to come at a price. Stick to Azureus. Free and satisfying enough for being so.
