BitTorrent Client Alternative

Dear Readers,

For some strange reason my computer has started to 'discriminate' towards Java Based applications... So that elminates me from using both LimeWire and Azureus...

So my question is.. Since I already know Azureus is the best BitTorrent Client, what would be a good alternative that isn't Java based?

Since I can't seem to fix my problem and I don't want to format.. Always tried the whole Uninstall/Reinstall method, so I just gave up and now looking for alternatives... Same for Limewire, rather than creating a new thread, what would be another alternative to Limewire, since yeah... Computer is Discriminating Java Applications ><

it blocks "bad IPs"

download and unzip http://emulepawcio.sourceforge.net/nieuwe_...es/ipfilter.zip to C:\Program Files\BitComet\rules and restart bitcomet (if running)

you should repeat that action when you want to update it.

once a week/month depending on your level of paranoia ;)

also make sure you have ipfilter enabled in the bitcomet settings

but keep in mind it offers zero protection from the "bad guys" from knowing what youre downloading or hiding your IP from them as the trackers will still tell them, but it will keep "them" from sending bad data chunks

If you would like something simple I would recommend Arctic Torrent.

A minimal BitTorrent client. It wont have all the pretty features that other Torrent apps have, but focuses on low memory and cpu usage. Because it was written in C++, you dont get the high memory requirements of Java or high CPU usage of Python.
