BitTorrents
 
What BitTorrent clients are good to use on Linux?

I use Ktorrent, other use Azureus or any of the many other clients.

Its down to what you like, try them out and decide for yourself.

I agree that Ktorrent and Azureus are reasonable choices.

Nah rtorrent is awesome. You'll need to put in some reading though, the interface isn't exactly intuitive...

I've used ktorrent, azureus and rotorrent.

ktorrent is nice and lightweight (using KDE already though) and has a good sceduler, but i had trouble with allowing access via iptables.

Which is where azureus came in, it seems to handle everything through the same ports (tcp/udp) although i haven't looked into scheduling yet, it's a bit heavier due to its reliance on Java.

rotorrent i found to be the fastest/lightweight. Like stated check out the documentation, but it's pretty easy to specify the required switches in the command, It's also very useful for using over SSH.
