Utorrent vs Rtorrent

[monique b]

Closer to two years actually.

Anyway rtorrent > * as far as I'm concerned on linux. Why emulate when you can use a native program?

Don't understand, explain...

 

[bert2730emt]

utorrent is the best

 

[xt3rmin8_1987]

To run utorrent in Linux you have to use WINE, which is a windows emulator (not to mention some sort of X-server or GUI). Why not just run rtorrent?

 

[Prada Brat]

Tell me one thing you can do with uTorrent which rTorrent can

 

[vip2coool]

dunno if all the ppl in here saying: "utorrent is the best" are really running utorrent on a low spec box with 1.3ghz cpu and 256mb ram...

for me: rtorrent without any doubt

 

[wagEr]

I wish people would actually give reasons on why so-and-so is better. These one word answers aren't really helping messi that much.

Guess it just depends on what you plan on doing with the box. If you are just gonna be downloading and seeding to build buffers, then rtorrent ftw as it uses less resource and don't need to install vnc and wine, but if you are going to be uploading to other sites as well then utorrent will be easier to use. It also depends on your level of knowledge of linux, and on that part only you know the answer.

Agreed!

 

[hm. rude + not ginger!]

It's silly to include a Tetris in a BitTorrent program

 

[call me daddy x]

All I did was answer your question.

[Jino D]

[Ally M]

utorrent

 

[Young Me]

as stated
rtorrent use less resources, utorrent is mre friendly of course

 

[Tom Barron]

Does rTorrent have uTP and NAT hole punching?

There you are TWO things that utorrent has but rtorrent does not.
Although the one I mentioned was cooler

 

[L. U. D. O.]

Although the one I mentioned was cooler

If you could have the uTorrent About window open separately of the main one it'd be perfect. :happy:

 

[admiralsfrk30]

I wish they'd make a Linux binary of uTorrent...

PEACE

Epic 1 year bump
