In search of a new BitTorrent Client

Been using BitTornado as a client for some time now and for a while, I also tried the built-in torrent downloader of the Opera browser. BitTornado looks okay but I was wondering if there are any other clients worth looking into out there.

I was checking Wikipedia and the list of clients there also indicated the usage share:

Xunlei: 29.3%
µTorrent: 25.8%
Vuze: 24.0%
BitComet: 4.3%
Transmission: 3.3%
BitSpirit: 2.0%

Haven’t heard of Xunlei before but it turns out it’s the most commonly used bittorent client in China, thus the huge popularity in terms of usage share. Outside of China, µTorrent and Vuze seems to be the more popular ones.

What do you guys use and which ones the most efficient client?

    Thanks for your suggestions. One thing I’ve got noticed is that banks in addition to financial institutions understand the spending habits of consumers plus understand that most people max out and about their cards around the getaways. They wisely take advantage of View details fact and start flooding your current inbox in addition to snail-mail box with hundreds of no-interest APR credit card offers immediately after the holiday season comes to an end. Knowing that if you’re like 98% of all American public, you’ll rush at the chance to consolidate consumer credit card debt and move balances towards 0 interest rates credit cards.

    i’ve been hooked with torrents for about 6 years now. and i’ve tried several clients back then until i found µTorrent so charming. but now i found my new love in xunlei to which most newbies would contradict. yes it is in chinese yet any brilliant mind can understand it by instinct. but for those who cannot by instict, there is however an english version of xunlei. just google it.

    µTorrent will always be µTorrent and yes i used to love µTorrent since its first version until its most recent stable version 2.2 even its beta version 3.0. but now as i earlier confessed, i found my new love in xunlei. coz nothing beats the speed and the thrill that xunlei makes me ride on.
