We don't support, advise or give help in relation to any Torrent software, or indeed any software which can be used (and often is) to obtain cracked applications, games and free movies.

Go somewhere else.

There are plenty of legitimate torrent sites out there. In fact some linux distros are capable of being downloaded as torrents. Torrents aren't bad, it's only how it's used that makes it bad. Cars kill people every day, yet people discuss them all the time.

You clearly have no idea how torrents work. You can download same cracked applications w/o a torrent, directly from a web host you know? Also torrents are often used to download legal apps and data and I think you should go somewhere and learn how the internet works before making such conclusions. It's like saying "Go somewhere else to a person that asks which gun is the best" yet uses of guns can vary from killing innocent people to shooting empty cans.

I can't see how one would be faster than the other since torrent speed depends on the UL/DL speeds of you and the other peers. That would be like asking which web browser downloads files quicker...

Geez, so many analogies in here... cars, guns, web browsers... :pt1cable: ... let me try one

Torrents are like prescription drugs, most people take them for legitimate reasons but some people abuse them for illegitimate purposes

If you have 50Mb download capability but an FTP or web server only has 10Mb upload capability, then you are stuck at 10Mb. If you torrent the same file, the max download speed you are getting from each user can total more than the 10Mb you would get from that FTP server or web server. Torrents are distributed downloads, not from a single source.

My point was that any given web browser doesn't download from FTP/web servers faster or slower than other web browsers... a similar situation with downloading P2P using different torrent clients, meaning the software doesn't determine download/upload speeds

Ah, sorry. I thought you were questioning download sources, not the torrent clients. Indeed, they should be similar in speed.

@OP: I use an old version of Bit Tornado. I'm not sure if the tornado project is even up to date anymore, but I get the same speeds as uTorrent and it has a very minimalistic GUI, which is fine by me as I don't need all the bells & whistles.
