I’ve been using ABC for ages and I really like except the latest release tends to hang in memory for a long time and I have to ctrl + alt + del in order to release it from there.
Can anyone suggest any good alternatives, I have tried Azureus but I hate the fact that it's java and that it uses so much ram / processing power.
I want something in one window also.

No it isn't, its a spyware-filled POS program that dumps the idea of BT, and goes with the Kazaa-method, fake files, no one sharing, and no good files.

It has ads using a program that is notorious for collecting all sort of info about a user and their PC, so its still got spyware. Get off sloneck's cock much?

It says on the exeem site that there are still ads. And no, I've never installed it, as I'm not stupid enough to invite ads and spyware onto my PC.

Azureus is still pretty hard on resources but ATM, it's the best client out there.

torrent storm...
it's based off of bit tornado's client, but uses a GUI and etc.. connects really fast.. downloads on AVG faster then Tornado.

I've never found Azereus crippling my system, but then I've got a gig of RAM. Bloody good client IMO.

I tried bitcomet and thought it was alright slightly bloated with the intergrated browser windows.
Using rufus now, damn its pretty good. Fast, stable, low mem it's like abc when it worked.

ABC is still the best. Just use the task manager to stop it.
