what do you guys use to download torrents?
i use micro-torrent (aka utorrent) at the moment, but the whole port forwarding setup is a bit crappy. i have heard vuze is good. what does everyone use?
(i am automatically assuming that everyone goes to torrentz and the mininova or pirate bay, no contest there really)

Is there a difference benny the cunt?
Asking because I just click on any one of them, I thought they all downloaded from the same place...

Vuze = what used to be called Azureus, and yep it's decent.
Cazz: There are sites hosting the torrent files themselves and then you have a choice of which software you want to use to download with.
benny the cunt was pretty much just asking which individual program people choose to use.
Scott: A+ for that one.
Just so people are aware.... just because it's a torrent file doesn't mean it's something illegal. It's purely a way of sharing files that just so happens to be used for porn and movies and is about two thirds of all internet traffic.

"You wouldn't download a handbag" would have been funnier.
I'm amazed at how many people don't realize it's been shopped

I use BitSpirit to download my perfectly legal linux ISOs. Have used Azureus and uTorrent in the past - it's all much of a muchness, only BitSpirit because it seemed less bloated.
