uTorrent
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/Vista

qleft  The best  qright

uTorrent version 1.8
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Of all the torrent programs I've tried (on several machines), uTorrent is by far the fastest. It's basic, but but packs in all the features you need, and that's far preferred to bloatware.

BitComet version 1.04
  • Interface: 2
  • Features: 2
  • Ease of use: 2
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 1

Found the download speeds to be very slow, and the software is bloated. uTorrent is far faster, and a tiny single file that works just fine.

First - I want to thanks the folks at Symantec for years of protection using Norton Antivirus. But now that I have tried Avast, I'll probably never go back. The interface took a little getting used to, but once I found my way around it was easy to see which was the better antivirus. Avast is far faster scanning email or files, loads faster, updates faster, and so on. The only slow feature is if you ask it to build a file database (optional). I've had no problems with it on older or newer PC's. (Even installed a new skin for it - so far no problems!) Norton was actually stopping some of my programs from running, and was way too slow at most things that we rely on, like downloading mail or even launching programs. So, thanks for the memories (and protection), but I'll stick with Avast from here on in.
