hi - I've been using BitLord, then someone at work said it leaves you vulnerable to being spied upon and therefore prosecuted. Among other ones he recommended was Azureus but that's been a nightmare... can anyone recommend me any other good Bit Torrent downloaders?

ah yes! that's one of the ones he mentioned - I'd forgotten them all except the Azureus one.
Thanks heaps, Samb.

I heard good things about new BitComet editions. Azureus is a hog, but I got used to it. At the beginning I was thrown off too.

When I tried that all I kept getting were Connexion Errors -- I had it running on port 49000 port-forwarded. It was never able to complete the port test.

that was a mere oversight the last time! I was doing things 'by the book' and it was still fucked up!

I'm wondering if the WinXP firewall is causing some of the trouble. I've opened the port I'm using for torrents yet they are going very slowly, if at all. My ISP does say it limits Torrent activity but I thought changing the port to a high one and port forwarding helped to combat this.

torrent download speed can depend highly on your upload speeds on the same torrent, i've never been able to get any good speeds without uploading at least 10k/s constant for the particular torrent - when using bt to download i've always got as much upload bandwidth going as possible simultaneously

ah, i forgot to mention i use Azureus - its a real resource/bandwidth hog, but i just leave it on overnight and let it do the real work.
i always turn it off if im playing a game, sending/receiving files on soulseek, surfing the net via a browser, or downloading porn/etc
