I find Az scrapes alot more seeds/peers than the other clients I tried. Hits max speed faster too.

ABC I used for a while but I couldn't work out the colours lol There's a proper green..and a poo green...what's the poo green meant to mean?!

poo green is your connected and downloading from peers, but you dont have some ports open..i.e. may have decreased peeds.

damn fucken,....-_-

i tried Comet, Azeurus and ABC, and they all suck. U know why? because they allow for too much uploading rather than downloading. Even if they are more reliable, im going bac toTornado, its nearly zero percent upload.

abc allows you to set max. upload to 3kb/s. (I mean, you do download more than 3kb/s right?:p)

yeh set yuor upload to around 70-80% of yuor upload limit, so you dont saturate your connection , otherwise everythign works slowly.

think about it, if you didn't have to seed a 1:1 ratio who would be bothered seeding?

why are people so against uploading anyway - it's not like you're usually uploading anything.

azureus gets my vote. visually pleasing, enough options to keep me happy, fast and simple.
