Review

Small enough to run off a USB key, but powerful enough to download any torrent in a jiffy (if it's got enough seeders), uTorrent 2.0 is easy on the eyes and smart on your network. The memory footprint for uTorrent is very small, and system resources are barely touched. While you're torrenting, you shouldn't be surprised to find that other programs that use your Internet connection slow down, but the latest version of uTorrent has an answer to that. Called uTorrent Protocol, or uTP, it's a built-in throttling that detects network congestion and slows down the torrent until the traffic jam has dissipated.

Version 2.0 includes a transfer cap, so that users who have had limits imposed by their ISPs can keep track and automatically kill torrenting when that limit is reached. Skins have also been introduced, but there's no skins option in Preferences: instead, you must go to the uTorrent site and download and install them yourself. That's unnecessarily irritating.

The most difficult aspect of using a torrent client is still finding the torrents, but included are both a torrent search bar and a handy RSS feed download function. Subscribe to select feeds, and uTorrent automatically downloads files as they publish. Adding, starting, pausing, and listing torrents takes merely a click each. A speed guide helps you test your ports and adjust system settings for optimal performance, although watch out for the opt-out Ask.com toolbar when you install. Combined with Local Peer Discovery and DHT Network options, and Teredo and Ipv6 support, uTorrent should be the torrent program of choice for novices, intermediate, and advanced users - Seth Rosenblatt

Review

FrostWire is a fork of the LimeWire source code, and as such, it functions exactly the same. When you search for a file using FrostWire, you get results from LimeWire, and vice versa.

However, the user experience differs in two ways. One is that the code is actually based on LimeWire Pro, the paid version of the popular P2P client, so users don't have to worry about simultaneous download restrictions, and they won't get bombarded by ads. Also, befitting the name, the interface has changed from green to blue and has been slightly improved. Tabs have rounded corners, and there are two additions, as well. Connections monitors your outgoing and incoming connections by host name, but also provides bandwidth information, the vendor and version being used, and more. There's also a built-in community chat.

When we tested it, the built-in media player in FrostWire didn't work with MP3s or MPGs, although those files worked fine in LimeWire and elsewhere. The app also comes bundled with the ASK toolbar, but you can opt out of that during the installation process. While some people have experienced faster download times with FrostWire compared with its parent, others have not. FrostWire and LimeWire are practically indistinguishable, although the lack of ads is a big plus. - Seth Rosenblatt

Review

From its start as a post-Napster clone to its leading role as the quintessential Gnutella client, LimeWire is the highest-profile P2P application. Version 5 re-envisions LimeWire for a Web 2.0 world, with an emphasis on sharing with friends, square buttons with rounded corners, and overall a cleaner interface.

Two search bars and two sidebars cap off the redesign. The uppermost search bar is the global search that scans what everybody is sharing over the P2P network, while the secondary one on the right searches your library. The sidebars are set up in a similar way. Both are on the left, with the outer one offering three options: your library, the global P2P network, and your friends. Click on My Library and your inner sidebar shows your collection of music, movies, and documents. The P2P Network option shows what you're uploading and downloading, while the Friends option lets you share your library specifically with your Google/Jabber contacts, which you can import. Search results can be presented in both the new Web 2.0-style that surfaces just the most relevant information, with an Information button to dive deeper or the "classic" spreadsheet view.

The Advanced Tools feature is also new, which lets power users drill down and get highly specific information about who they're connected to, similar to what's available from torrent clients. This data includes IP addresses, bandwidth, the program being used and its version. The new features and overall functionality make this by far the most mature version of LimeWire to date. Despite the typical performance flaws found in all file-sharing clients, this latest version continues to offer solid performance and good looks across the board. - Seth Rosenblatt

- Multiple User Interface

Review

Formerly the feature-rich Azureus, Vuze takes Azureus' BitTorrent foundation and builds on top of it a network for video discovery and user-created video publishing tied together by social networking.

From XML torrent options to IP filters, firewall tests to UPnP plug-ins to baked-in social networking, Vuze isn't breaking new ground--the original BitTorrent client has gone this path, too--but it is doing it in an innovative and attractive way. When you install the program, you're faced with an interface that will be instantly familiar to iTunes users. In providing a general overview of their torrents and media playback controls, the new layout emphasizes user-initiated searches.

The Advanced tab has been replaced by My Library. The old Azureus is now completely gone, but because of the demands of users, Vuze 4.0 is much closer to the intent of its progenitor than Vuze 3.1 was. A simple, three-step guide that launches when you start Vuze helps you get acclimatized to the new Vuze. There's still work to be done: memory usage is up around 100MB, and although you can set up private trackers, you can't customize the search box. People new to torrenting or only interested in sharing media files might appreciate this visually active approach. - Seth Rosenblatt

Review

Although the bigger names in the P2P world still maintain the lion's share of users, several smaller entities have popped up. These programs appeal to those fed up with the fluff and third-party software often found in the more popular applications.

Shareaza is focused and lean, with a gorgeous interface and connections to the Gnutella2, Gnutella, eDonkey, and BitTorrent networks. It's also handsome and easy to use; we had no trouble quickly figuring out how to search, check our network status, and customize the interface through a healthy choice of skins. Search results were extremely fast, although we wish each new search automatically spawned a new tab. Shareaza also has a decent built-in media player for common audio and video formats. Other features include a chat client and the ability to schedule transfers.

The file-management system, with a slew of folders divided and subdivided into all sorts of categories, may overwhelm novices, though seasoned file-sharers probably won't have that much trouble. Overall, though, Shareaza's design, performance, and trim size provide make it a nice choice for peer-to-peer users. - Cnet.com

[sekop]

vote Bit Torrent

reason:
karena saya mempunyai masalah dgn uTorrent, sudah berbagai macam hal saya coba tetap bermasalah.
iseng mencoba Bit Torrent, sampai sekarang masih bisa diandalkan.

untuk client2 lainnya saya blom nyoba soalnya interface uTorrent & Bit Torrent sangat mudah

[Pascal Michaelis]

bittorent juga.alasannya karna cuma itu yang baru gw tes dan hasilnya lumayan memuaskan.untuk limewire sih rada2 ribet,jadi gw uninstall .

[_KID_-ecchi]

aduh....
gak ada di pilihan...
gw make flashgate buat torrent kebanyakan jg pake btaccel so gw pass di kompetisi ini...

[oplover]

Aku makenya fdm tuh?

[yaoi-xevex]

milih bit torrent...
alasan, lebih cepat, effisien, dan filenya lengkap (g corrupted) dan juga compatible ma donlod manager gw... ^^

[yaoi-xevex]

FDM tuh pake Bit torrent...

[loli-leonardyehezkiel]

I choose Vuze . it's easy to find something in the web with this app

[astrastasia]

wah , klo download manager nnti ada topiknya sndri

[M^M^T]

Saya vote utorrent...

Dari jamannya saya pertama kali download torrent, makenya utorrent jadi milih utorrent dan selama itu pula utorrent tidak pernah mengecewakan saya

[astrastasia]

koq ga ad yg milih bitcomet

[martinez]

^
enak aja...gw vote BitComet koq....

reason :

jujur saja...saya sendiri jarang donlot lewat torrent.....tp karena teman2 otaku saya klo donlot mp3 ama anime terbaru pake BitComet.....saya pun akhirnya tetep keukeh pake BitComet....

toh buat saya....interfacenya simpel koq... dan info ttg torrent yg saya dunlut udh cukup lengkap ^^

[matsuri]

hmm... melihat dari comment di atas rata-rata yg milih alasannya adalah karena tidak mengecewakan. Berarti belum mencoba membandingkan dengan torrent client lain dong...

Kl aku sekitar 3 tahun lalu pernah nyoba yg no.1,2,3,4, dan 6 dan aku cenderung milih no.1(utorrent) krn lebih cepat dan ringan. Tapi itu dulu lho.... Aku gak tahu kl sekarang sudah terjadi perubahan krn gak pernah ku-update

[harry4412]

uTorrent!!!!!!! 2 words
FAST! & LIGHTWEIGHT!

[Shin Muhammad]

saya pernah mencoba vuze versi 4 dan yang 2.5 pas dulu masih azureus. Jujur antarmukanya berat untuk download box kayak P4 1.8 GHz, karena menu-menunya terlalu berat.

Saya sekarang memakai uTorrent, karena ringan dan praktis. Walau kadang harus fallback kembali ke Vuze, sebab konyolnya uTorrent suka tidak bisa mengunduh beberapa torrent.

Mengenai speed sendiri tidak bisa saya test lantaran kecepatan di sini terlalu lambat
