Found azureus very heavy on resources, utorrent seems to handle it much better. Azurues I found had to stop it, reboot pc and start it again once in a while. uTorrent I can just leave on (and on and on) if I want to.

No problems with Azureus although it keeps moaning about a port being already in use (and it's not but haven't investigated so far)

Azureus is for power users.

maybe I wasn't using Azureus correctly but I found searching on uTorrent easier

I used Azureus, then realised it was a memory hog. Found uTorrent. Smaller, just easy so stayed with that.

Real Power Users use command lines on a BSD platform.

Like i said, Azureus is for power users. If you want something simple, utorrent is for you.

I'd like to see you try and implement a BT client via command line baloo.

you mean you don't just write a client in machine code (in hex) each time you want to use one? Amateurs!

My code is bigger (smaller) than your code.....

Losers...

You must work for a bloatware company. Every geek knows smaller code is better code.

That's why I put "smaller" in brackets.

Sorry - I should have included the reference manual that said "this is sarcasm"...

Every geek knows it's not the size of the code but rather the repetitions in the loop that bring most joy

Recursion makes the geek heart grow fonder
