Utorrent vs Rtorrent

[ara]

that^^^ would make utorrent the clear winner,which probably is a bit unfair

There are a few worse ones than this

That's why I didn't comment on it :lol:

Not to mention Pozarynicoeta's post was constructive, unlike it's usually the case with bumps. :happy:

Well if you use utorrent because of the WebUI, theres a few WebUI's for rTorrent

Hmm... Isn't Rtorrent for linux ?
There is no way to know which is better when the softwares are for different OS's ...

Just use rtorrent and install rutorrent webUI, it's absolutely similar to uTorrent's one. Plus there're lots of plugins, such as RSS and more. Been using it for a few weeks and tbh I really like it.

does anyone even bother to read the original post in a thread?

I am using Kimsufi with linux.

edit: try them both and see which one you prefer. I used rtorrent for a while, but ended up going back to utorrent w/ webui. speeds and performance were the same on both programs.

Disadvantages of rTorrent:
* CLI only and no easy to use graphical interface (unless you use ruTorrent)
* Might need to install VNC anyway if needing a graphical browser to add torrents.

Disadvantages of uTorrent on Wine:
* Must install x window, VNC, Wine.
* Uses quite a lot of memory running all those behind.
* VNC not as secure as putty (SSH)
* .torrent file associations never stick.
* A year ago had problems downloading torrents with files in different languages (not sure if still a problem).

So my vote is rTorrent with ruTorrent web interface. Can run on very low specs!

If you are going to run uTorrent though make sure you use fluxbox and not something bulky like gnome for your gui.

To everybody out there using uTorrent try installing rTorrent + ruTorrent. When you use it you will understand because we prefer last one. Tell me one thing you can do with uTorrent which rTorrent can

utorrent the best

Closer to two years actually.

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