I always used Tornado, but I've deinstalled that a while ago. Gonna try comet, the features are looking good, cheers.

Bitcomet is a problem client.
Since I know you use Empornium, check their site, you'll find the client is banned.
What happens is, quite randomly, BitComet sets your upload/download ratio to 0/-1, which equates to like a 0.000000000000000000001 ratio.
Takes quite a while to recover from.
On sites that don't track stats, not a problem, but it's the general principle that BotComet is a hack client that would ward most people off, I think.

Thank you sir. Scourge & Saturn hooked me up. Azureus takes a litte setting up but some of the best features are that you can set rates on each transfer and you can select which pieces of a torrent you want to dl. For example, if you are downloading an album, but only want like 2 songs, you can do so.

Azureus is indeed the bomb. Nothing touches it for features.
About the only drawback is the java bases problems some people have experienced. Seems that's down to localised issues (bad VM e.g. microsofts)
Speed Scheduler plugin for Az is awesome too.

Any bit torrent site.
And I agree with the others who suggested Azureus, I can't believe some people haven't heard of it, it's the daddy as far as I'm concerned.

..only if you search through about 5 levels of menu systems for a specific thing, or run a string search for porn.
Google does that.

18 hours a week in make-believe land will do that to a person.
