zombiegod Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 depending on what it is your downloading.how popular the item is and how many peeps have it.Let me be more specific, because that comment doesn't answer my question.What if I downloaded the same Torrent. Which Application would complete the process first. Limewire, or Utorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HATE9X Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 don't know how good limewire's BT capabilities are since they just added BT in it a while ago.. so either the same speed or utorrent..utorrent might be faster as long as your connection settings are set right..but basically it's still the same protocol, but it may differ a bit..

Atasas Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 does, as many other issues... uTorrent is one of the best settings providing torrent client, so- there is no comparison. Once u undestand how things work- dedicated client better option! ( I might sugest bitTornado) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I might sugest bitTornado)well, i've been in love with uTorrent since i found it.. amazing UI, uses very little resources.. it's indeed the best..but i kinda thought maybe one could achieve the same speed.. but going w/ utorrent is much better idea..

shought Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 uTorrent is definitely lower on system resources since it's not java based, and you're able to configure uTorrent way more than LimeWire's built in protocol... So i'd say just stick with uTorrent, if there is a difference it will most likely be in favor of uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marik Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 µTorrent is the way to go....i used LimeWire but it pales in comparison to µTorrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shought Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 µTorrent is the way to go....i used LimeWire but it pales in comparison to µTorrentLimeWire is good for songs and other small stuff but not for movies or whole albums.Btw: I'm still working on your song... Really hard to find, i might have to download the whole movie and cut it out of there! But that's a problem too, because the movie is kind of old and i can't seem to find it on any torrent site :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marik Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 like I said the song seems to be almost non-existent :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using both here too ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Foucault Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 uTorrent is the best, because it barely consumes computer resources, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filenox Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 uTorrent is developed for torrents, Limewire for Peer 2 Peer.So probability uTorrent will be faster -IF there is any difference in the speed, because the speed dependent of the number of seeders -.
