Vuze sucks, It cuts out internet connection if your on wireless get Transmission but you better be using this for legal files.

Another vote for transmission.

Also a vote for using the search function, this same question is asked at least once a fortnight. :)

One more vote for Transmission. Just got it the other day and after spending about 5 min watching a How-To video on YouTube I quickly got the hang of it. Great program!

OK why do you need a torrent program if you don't know where to get torrents?

Azureus/Vuze is way too memory intensive. Xtorrent is another David Watanabe production, so I stay away.

Transmission is fast, small, lightweight, and very stable. It gets my vote.


BEWARE FOLKS: it's against the rules to discuss things that are on the wrong side of the law.

Check the forum rules... ;)

I use opera, the web browser. Does web, torrent, irc, feeds, and other things I'm constantly finding, though I've used it for years...

Since when is downloading a free program illegal and not allowed to be discussed ;)
