I prefer transmission. I've never used utorrent.
But I've seen friends using it on windoze. I prefer a clean interface.

I voted for other because people should pay for their software. And please spare me the rah rah rah about many torrents being legal and legit. Sorry, but most people (and they've blatantly admitted it on a very recent thread) download torrents to steal software. Windows 7, Adobe CS are some of the biggest targets. I always wonder how so many people here just happen to have a copy of Windows for Bootcamp. It's not like you can use a restore disc from another computer.

I agree, but take Windows for example. Buying an OS X DVD isn't as hard, because it doesn't cost $450 like Windows. I don't know in the US but this is the situation here. I don't use Windows anymore, but if I did, there is NO way I was going to pay that amount of money for an OS that I consider inferior (spare me the opinions) to the one that came with my computer to start with.
I know some will disagree, but it's not a matter of being 'cheap', it's about a sense of worth. If Apple sells SL DVDs for about $40 why can't MS do the same?

Because Apple is a hardware company and Microsoft is a software company?
I know I know, but does that really justify a copy of Windows costing 11 times more than a copy of Mac OS?
Simple, because Apple typically sell hardware bundled with their OS and as we all know, they charge a pretty premium on that hardware. In the windows world you're overcharged on the OS, in the Apple world on the machine because, be honest, for the specifications on offer we pay WAY too much.
Why do I stick with them (for the time being):
a) the design of the machines (esthetically, not component quality)
b) the OS
By the way, I prefer Vuze on my mac. And I don't steal software. No bootcamp and every single song on my HDD is bought and paid for.

+1 for you
My thoughts exactly and seeing as I have very little practical use of torrents, I find it hard to vote. But I threw in my preference for Trans because, well, I like the name
Seriously People, don't steal! How would you like it if I stole your livelyhood/productivity! *puts on his flame shield to prepare for his unintended onslaught

What do you think about the library?Seriously People, don't steal! How would you like it if I stole your livelyhood/productivity! *puts on his flame shield to prepare for his unintended onslaught
If I could vote for systems like dtella instead, then I would.
We're talking about BT though, so I'll have to go with "other," and pick Vuze.
Why, you might ask? Well, yeah, its bloated as crap. However I like the customization.
