    I agree... I've been using uTorrent for a long time. I love it. I've tried BitComet, Azureus, and another one, maybe it was FlashGet? It doesn't matter... I dumped them all and went back to uTorrent. However, I use one of the older releases (v1.6.1 b490). The newest stable non-beta release is available at the link above; if you want an older one, go here: http://www.filehippo.com/download_utorrent/ They have the newest v1.8 beta, as well as the older releases (look in the list in the green column on the right side of the page).

    Azureus seemed to have a lot of bloat.

    I have a question, how come when I'm checking in the Speed Test if my port is forwarded properly, it says:

    Welcome to the µTorrent Port Checker.
    A test will be performed on your computer to check if the specified port is opened.

    Checking port 51252 on 125.60.243.12...

    Error! Port 51252 does not appear to be open.

    Please see www.portforward.com for more information about how to map a port.

    Please make absolutely sure that PeerGuardian2 or Protowall is allowing utorrent.com (72.20.34.145) in either of those programs. Those of you using ipfilter.dat should make sure the list does not include the website's IP. After making sure of this, re-run this test by refreshing the page (F5).

    Training you have to forward the port in your router to get the best speeds. On the portforward page click routers and find your router than on the next page click utorrent and follow the instructions.
