1 edit | i like utorrent alot i use it as my primary torrent app on all my live music torrent sites. been using it for at least a year now. ive used azeureus and the original BT client among others and i find utorrent a satisfactory application. also, it uses the least amount of system resources and has always performed like its designed to do. rock solid. no reason to switch yet. the sky is NOT falling yet. I only use torrent apps for trading bands that allow taping and trading. thank you.

All you people complaining about Azureus being a memory hog - are you guys running a Pentium I with 48MB of RAM? Wtf? What's 40MB of RAM anymore? I keep it minimized and don't even notice it's open.

I once had a dream that Sean Connery stayed at my apt., and he had his laptop with Win98 on it, and he knew how to connect to my wireless network. I don't do drugs  |

That may very well be the case. And hell, I use FIREFOX and it regularly uses up to 100MB while its running. But at least in my own case, utorrent does exactly what I want whereas azureus may do the same, but has more tacked on features that I couldn't care for. utorrent comes out much lower in terms of cpu/mem usage so it's a winner for me. I have nothing against Azureus. I used to be a hardcore Az user until uT came along. uT just happens to outdo Az in every way in my own case.
But you do have to admit it is true that java based apps are fairly mem/cpu hoggish just by the nature of the beast.

Okay, let's say you have 2.5gb of ram (like me) and you install Linux and you're only using say....200MB?
What's the damn point of having ram if it isn't being used? Unused ram is useless.
I run XP with a buttload of software and I never go above 1GB used. |

compared to Azureus, µTorrent was more likely to be converted to an FNapp for the Killer NIC to be able to run without needing to be installed on the OS at all because it's so small (the NIC has its own dedicated processor and 64MB's of installed RAM, and an embedded distro of Linux... and a USB2.0 port to stick apps that it can use through USB storage).

LOL - sorry, but that still would be no reason for me to drop a couple of hundred dollars on a card that has more marketing hype and no real advantage over for a standard NIC. They could have a distro like minuet on it and it'd still be way overpriced, filled with 1/2 truths and see no real improvement on the network while accessing the web.
I love uTorrent, but I think this news means we'll see more ads in it, more features a lot of us won't use and lose encryption. |
