BitTorrent is a protocol for distributing files. It identifies content by URL and is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Web. Its advantage over plain HTTP is that when multiple downloads of the same file happen concurrently, the downloaders upload to each other, making it possible for the file source to support very large numbers of downloaders with only a modest increase in its load.

I really like BitTorrent over uTorrent even though they have virtually the same interface.

I like the prog but I don't like it running a program [btdna.exe] and then not terminating it when I shutdown Bittorrent ... it continues to run in memory and I have to use the task manager to terminate it ... takes about 8420 K of memory which isn't much but I don't like they're not giving me the option to terminate it. I haven't compared it one on one with utorrent yet but it seems to work nearly as well on my system and has most of the basic features of utorrent so I had no learning curve switching over. -1 for DNA otherwise I'm comfortable with it. UPDATE: I was able to uninstall DNA in Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs.

Guys, you don't get it. This IS uTorrent. Let me repeat it: Bittorrent v6.x = uTorrent. Different name, same application. Same source code. As for software, it is decent. Though it may have a few problems in unusual environments. And featureset is not very large. If you need small%fast (fast overral work, not the downloading speed) - uTorrent/BitTorrent v6.x is your choice. Azureus has more features, and is less error-prone (and even if it has errors, you usually can fix it by yourself). But Azureus is also a bit slow (again, i don't mean downloading speed) and consumes a fair chunk of memory.

I rolled back to 6.02 . Vesion 6.03 puts something in the temp folder that previous versions didn't causing endless pop-ups from Online Armor asking if I wanted to continue , no matter how many times I said yes it was there again on program launch ,[ in the temp folder but with a different number] 6.02 doesn't do this.

Regular bit-torrent.. it's standard stuff... KISS, keep it simple stupid. Don't add stuff where it's not needed. Feature creep is all well and good if it doesn't slow down the program, and actually enhances it's usability in some important way. I really liked azureus before they got bought out (or sold out) and became "vuze", even if it was a bit bloated I liked Azureus's interface.

whats the diff between this and ?torrent?

"Feature creep" ... I agree. The license says "Open Source" ... kinda misleading ... the source is available till version 5. But we all know that this is basically uTorrent with a different default toolbar ?

"Works well, quick and efficient" simple interface, easy set-up, and uses little resources I don't trust the connection wizard to find my best settings, my tweaks of the settings appear to give me better results. With a cable dsl connection, my win2000 and my xp worked better with it than Utorrent.

"It is solid" I dos what is is suposed to-- in a friendly way.I do not think it is as fast as bit comet. Many special programs demand that we use either Utorrent or Bittorrent.They are very much alike.. and just ok No problems--steady as she goes.....
