I used ABC for a while but the speeds were never good. The next one I tried was Azureus and I haven't tried anything else since. Just download it.

Anyone know how to get firefox to associate magnet links with azureus? I've been looking all over the net for the answer and nothing worked so far.

I used to use it years ago, but I forgot how to work with it. My buddy's been using it but he can't get the magnets to associate with azureus. Only torrents are working with it.

Some time ago a new feature was added to the site: magnet links. With this link it may be possible to download the .torrent file from another user through Azureus' DHT network. The main purpose of this is to give people an alternative way of getting the torrent file should the website hosting the torrents go down.

Please note that this feature is currently only known to work in (a recent version of) Azureus and in no other BitTorrent client. Also the torrent file needs to be "known" in the Azureus DHT network for the transfer of the torrent file to succeed: with less popular torrents this may be a problem. Last, as not many people know about the magnet link feature, it's likely a torrent will go seedless very fast if torrent site and tracker are down, making it still impossible to complete a download.

Azureus is the silver medalist but nothing compares to uTorrent.


uTorrent is the "Google" of Torrent programs. It's the best, hands down. The speeds are the fastest (besides cheating ass bit-comet, which is often banned by sites), the coding is perfect, and they update it a lot.

Azu is decent but get uT.
