Azureus FTL. System resource hog, it's dependant on Java, and personally, I've encountered more bugs with Azureus than any other BT client out there.

azureus has more features than any other client, and for a lot of people, that's what matters the most.

What I meant was that qbittorrent is based on the same libtorrent that deluge is written, but deluge is written in pygtk, and qbittorrent is written using C++ with Qt4.2.
-
The only thing stopping me using KTorrent is the way it seems to handle uploads. Whenever I had it running, my wife was unable to surf on her laptop (on the wireless network) even though I had the upload speed set to 15 kB/s.
-
Using Azureus and the Auto Speed plugin, there was barely any difference, even when I was uploading in excess of 30 kB/s.
-
Too bad that none of the client based torrent programs i have found and used, supports DHT (Besides from the normal Bit-Torrent program in CLI, which turns it on when the normal tracker is dead).

The fastest growing entity today is information. Information is expanding ten times faster than the growth of any other manufactured or natural product on this planet. According to a calculation Hal Varian, an economist at Google, and I made, world-wide information has been increasing at the rate of 66% per year for many decades. Compare that explosion to the rate of increase in even the most prolific manufactured stuff – like concrete, or paper -- which averages only 7% annually over decades.

The number of scientific articles published each year has been increasing in a steady rise for more than 50 years. Over the last 150 years the number of patent applications has increased. By this rough metric, knowledge is growing exponentially.

We see the expansion of information everywhere. Less visible, harder to track, but exploding the same is the expanision of knowledge. The number of scientific articles published each year has been increasing in a steady rise for more than 50 years. Over the last 150 years the number of patent applications has increased. By this rough metric, knowledge is growing exponentially.

Yet the paradox of science is that every answer breeds at least two new questions. More answers, more questions. Telescopes and microscopes expanded not only what we knew, but what we didn’t know. They allowed us to spy into our ignorance. New and better tools permit us new and better questions. All our knowledge about subatomic particles derived from the new questions generated after we invented an atom smasher.
