    Torrent advice needed

    I'm currently running utorrent, but due to them being brought out by BitTorrent, Inc, and the fact the utorrent servers have been added to the peerguardian blocklists due to alleged et phone home stuff I'm on the market for a new client.

    What do folks recommend? I'm currently leaning towards BitTyrant (Azereus derivative)

    But probably aren't
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Only 1.3? That's a small array

    Xtra, they shape all p2p traffic, but the blocking i'm talking about is implemented at my end via PeerGuardian2. Given that Utorrent got brought out by BitTorrent Inc, who in turn are in alliance with the movie studios, and the fact that utorrent is now blocked by a major anti p2p blocklist for doing dodgy things means its time to get a new client.

    As for legit downloads, fuck that.. piracy all the way!
