I'm with you on that one. I don't torrent much (I only get Linux distros through BT and only if I have to) but I do have experience with Vuze and have the same opinion you do. It's slow and for what it should be (a torrent program), it has way too much clutter. That was a while ago mind you but from the sounds of it, it hasn't changed much.Vuze has too much garbage attached to it and the GUI is also far too messy which is totally unnecessary.[...] Transmission is MUCH better and MUCH easier to configure. It also has a MUCH smaller footprint.
Hmm, I can't explain your issue. Do they use the same port or different ones? What happens if you change the port settings in Transmission to match those of Vuze? Or, perhaps the most important question, are you happy enough with Vuze?
Just test them all out and find which one you like the best. Don't be a sheep and just follow what everyone else says. One thing might work for someone else but it might not work for you.
And to Doug, since you hate iTunes and other applications I love, I was not at all shocked you did not like Vuse! Grin
Limewire ALL the way
EDIT : HAHA was gonna leave it there and wait for the Army to come and CRUSH me into the ground ;P
I was going to call it LEMONWire and see what you did!
Absolutely. Don't download anything you know you shouldn't and if possible, download content from the maker/creator.It's more down to what you are downloading and from where, not the programs themselves.
