Looking for a useful bittorrent's client for Linux.

Hi all,

I am since a long long time without MS-Windows and during those times I have been using Bitcomet as my bittorent client.

Since I'm using GNU/Linux I still didn't find any good bittorrent's client.
I've tried the original bittorrent from the Slackware repository, however, it doesn't have a good documentation and therefore I cannot use it.

Does anybody knows any bittorrent's client who works on the command line or in Xfce? I don't use Gnome or Kde.

Thanks in advance.

Transmission is a nice lightweight client which works very well with XFCE.

For command line only try rtorrent

...Other than that try Azureus which should work anywhere as it is java based,

You can use azureus or deluge (I use deluge on XFCE 4.x running on FreeBSD 6.2).

Thank you all! :-)

By the way, transmission works very well at the command line too.
