Best Bittorrent client
October 5th, 2006
| Azureus I wonder whether overrating Azureus is at all possible. It is simply a superb client. The only thing I could moan about is that it is written in Java and somewhat slow because of that. Well, you can’t have everything and I have no doubt it is better to have Azureus than speed. See the description of Azureus here. |

Azureus
September 16th, 2006
Azureus does not need to be introduced any longer. A very good BitTorrent client, it is - for those who do not know.
Many features, good rates. Nice, comfortable, easy and straight-forward. No-problem install, no configuration.
Supposably the only vice it has is that it cannot searcg for torrents but this is a problem of the whole network, not just of this client’s. You could say there are programs which theoretically can do it, so why was not this feature implemented in Azureus. But I think all BT users know pretty well just how much these programs are really worth.
