    Which is the best p2p application?

    I'm not sure if this goes under software or network support (move if necessary)
    I wish to know which p2p application is the best meaning that it's lightweight enough but still has all of advanced features.
    I currently use utorrent (mjutorrent) which is lightweight but I think that because it's working through wine it's not that lightweight as some other.
    Before I used Vuze, which is packed with advanced features but is a bit of resource hog because of java...
    Ktorrent is simple, but I don't think it has any advanced features..
    I don't know for other, so which is the best?
    I'm magnet for errors, problems and bugs...

    Re: Which is the best p2p application?

    Don't really have answer to your question but this is my experience with torrent clients :

    I am running Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE 4.1.2 and KDE 3 and the only torrent client that is working with GUI under KDE 4.1.2 is Ktorrent version 3.1.2. There are newer versions available but I just was not able to upgrade to those although I tried. Ktorrent works fine but quite often it happens that after an hour or so of downloading my PC freezes.

    With KDE 3 I am able to run also Azureus which seems to be more stable than Ktorrent to me (no freezes). Actually because of this I plan to use more KDE 3 in the future (once I complete one download which I have started with KDE 4.1.2).

    I also tried Bittornado but GUI there is just not what I expect.

    I wonder what torrent clients can you positively run under Kubuntu 8.10 ?

        Thanks for the tip. Deluge looks fine and it works under KDE 4 as well. So I may well stick to KDE 4.

          I can recommend KTorrent. I haven't had any problems with it at all. No crashes or lockups. Works as expected.
