i still use bit comet. I think it's the only or one of few that allow you to select which files you want in a multi file torrent. also can throttle BW ez. and it's an exe, so no java overhead.

You can tell Azureus to not download certain files. I do hate the java part about it, though

BitTornado on Windows, but I find this much more convenient due to being able to screen it and forget about it:
| Code: | | ./btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 15 --responsefile whatever.torrent |

Azureus does have a priority thing, doesn't necessarily force it to get the file right now on the double clap clap post haste but it's noticeable.

ABC is my favorite... less of a resource hog than Azureus and has the same features.

it supports a lot of nice plugins. its very easy to use for novice people with features for expert users.
the only downside is the resources it uses, but anyone with 1gig of ram will be fine. i especially like how it seperates your downloads from your uploads. i hate having it all in one list.
