nsane.forums Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 BitTorrent is by far the leading file-sharing technology, with millions of people using the protocol every day. Every two months we take a look at the market share of various BitTorrent clients to see if there are interesting trends emerging. Today’s report is based on data from over 17,221 unique users in a few dozen public BitTorrent swarms, collected by the Tribler P2P research team at Delft University of Technology.The results in the table below show the market share for each individual client. In common with our previous reports, only 5 clients reached the 1% threshold, the remaining 14 that were encountered are grouped in the "other’ category. Some clients were not identified by libTorrent (rakshasa) and those ended up in the unknown "category’.The changes in market share compared to our September report are also included, and these show some interesting trends. First of all, uTorrent extended its user base and now has a massive 60 percent market share. Vuze, BitComet and BitTorrent’s Mainline client all lost market share.Transmission, on the other hand, keeps on growing. Its market share increased 23 percent and might take over BitComet’s fourth place soon. More on this in our December report.BitTorrent Client Market Share, October 2009Ranking | Client | Market Share % | Change % | Platform1 uTorrent | 60.16% | +5.90% | Windows, Mac2 Vuze | 14.22% | -21.56% | Windows, Mac, Linux3 BitTorrent Mainline | 8.65% | -26.63% | Windows, Mac, Linux4 BitComet | 4.43% | -5.95% | Windows5 Transmission | 3.65% | +23.73% | Mac, Linux* Unknown | 7.97% | +89.31% | na.* Other | 0.92% | -34.29% | na.

jtmulc Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I would like to see how much Vuse dropped and μTorrent gained in Mac users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-con Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Ever since uTorrent started on mac, their user base keeps growing. I remembered Vuze going apeshit and needed 1.2gb mem usage. Java is.. unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HATE9X Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 and besides it's massive ram (&cpu?) consumption, vuze took a dive 'cos it became vuze.. when it still was azureus it was at least usable to some extent..vuze's attempt to be mainstreamish & trying to look legit while making money was epic fail.

Administrator DKT27 Posted October 19, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 19, 2009 Well at first, many years ago, I was not knowin that any client like azureus ever exits. When I was usin BitTorrent. Both my cousin and my friend recommended azureus. My friend recommended it as it is also opensource, I dont know whether uTorrent is opensource. I used it(azureus) once, it scr*wed my other torrent downloads. Never used it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HATE9X Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 i used azureus looong time ago, not sure if utorrent existed.. i consider myself utorrent pioneer tho, i found it yrs ago.. after recommending it to some ppl, soon i started to notice ppl everywhere were starting to use it..it was (and still is) perfect, low cpu & ram usage, u can have it running in the background almost all the time.
