That's basically what eXeem is all about. If you're too lazy to read the above, eXeem is a P2P application that does not use trackers to download BitTorrents. Personally, I have never used eXeem, and I don't intend to because I don't trust it was much as the original BitTorrent idea - downloading using trackers.

*There is also an ad-free/"spyware free" version of eXeem available (because eXeem is open source), even though eXeem makers claim it's already spyware-free: http://www.techspot.com/download512.html

shareaza is the best!

I think it's too cluttered. Personally, I'd take a program that does its job in a simple GUI rather than a complicated one that doesn't, which happened to me several times when using Shareaza. A new torrent file was released, and Shareaza could not download it.

Azureus, its the best thing i could find.

If only for the only download certain files feature.

I didnt like Shareaza one bit. Even for files with many peers, the downloads were always under 10kbs, which is about 12 times slower than what I normally get with other clients. I have read that the speed goes up after you have been uploading to other people foor several weeks, but why would I stay using using if takes forever to get anything during that time?

I was on Bit Torrent about two and a half years ago and the first client I used was the official one. The official client turned out to be a great disappointment. The allocation of disk space is not good and it takes me a long time to kick off before I really get anything on my disk. I have tried several bit torrent clients with the python core, including ABC and burst, which are all based on shadow experiment core. They took a huge amount of resources, though and my super old computer would simply hang with more than sixty connections. Their allocation of memory is not satisfactory either. Then I though, it the inefficient language, python, must be the culprit here. Then I turned to clients whose core are written in other language. There are a few alternatives, Aruzeus, a very famous one is based on Java, BitComet is based on C plus plus and libtorrent also comes with a default client in C plus plus. BitComet pleased me. You can connect to virtually any number of peers you would like to and the core is not so hungry with CPU resources. The bad thing about it is of course that it is not open source, and God knows what the author has put into this piece of software. However, it is the only client that you can use to connect more than 500 peers with download rate of more than 1500KB per second. I run this piece of software on a very old Pentium 2 400MHz machine and there is no lagging or hanging even at this load. So it remains unrivaled as my favorite bit torrent client.

For exeem, the new coming p2p software, I think it is not very stable at the moment. Some users also complained that some nodes cannot be connected. Wikpedia has come up with the following criticisms.



Point 3 is not fair but I think points 1 and 2 are quite justified and valid.

I use bittornado cuz its the most fastest and easy to use one out there. Ive used the orignal one and ABC but i got sick of them cuz i dunno why the speeds would be slow on it. Bittorando is good overall but sumtimes when i close it it freezes and it still runs in the backround which pisses me off but its still good .

azureus is too complicated but it give me a lot of information. mmm.. i like the simple one like BitComet... really..really simple.. so it's user friendly...

I voted for Azureus, because that is my personal favorite. It is extremely easy to use and manage multiple torrents. Also, I have never had any problems with it at all. The only problem is that it is based on Java, which is pretty crappy, but it is implemented very well. The advantage of Java, though, is that it can be compatible with many systems, which is of course a plus. But, it is an extremely good client, and I suggest everyone at least try it .
