Torrent Clients Compared

Home > Piracy >

A week ago I tested the 3 most popular clients (Azureus, Bitcomet, and uTorrent) to see which of the 3 performed the best.

I tested these clients with the exact same setup and downloaded 3 torrents with different seed/peer ratio’s.

My overall conclusion from this little experiment was that, based on the transfer speed and memory usage, uTorrent is the winner followed by Bitcomet, and Azureus. Keep in mind that my little experiment was far from scientific.

Client
Memory Usage
Speed
uTorrent
10.000K
100 (baseline)
Bitcomet
22.000K
95
Azureus
41.000K
91

Wikipedia has a nice article that compares a large collection of available torrent clients. But keep in mind, less is sometimes more. Things like cpu and memory usage are pretty important too.
