What's the best P2P client that uses the BitTorrent protocol
 
This is not a Linux related question.

Right now I have BitTorrent 6.1.2. Is there a better .torrent P2P client. I know it's hard to know for sure so I will gladly take opinions too.

Thanks,

royeo

I stick with azureus / vuze on linux.
What are your definitions or expectations of "better"?

Transmission works great for me.

ktorrent it's easy to use.

I use Azureus and Deluge. Both have their pro's and con's. Choosing between them is difficult though I tend to lean towards Deluge.

I use mldonkey that can do p2p, torrents and regular downloads. It doesn't need X and you can connect to it just using telnet or a regular web browser. The most functionality at the lower cost. :p

rtorrent - a CLI program which you can control through ssh
