Transmission is another nice console bittorrent client. A GTK version is in development.

Thanks for the hint, the version in CVS has the GTK+ code included already. I created a PKGBUILD in case anyone is interested in testing it: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … =1&ID=3130

Azureus also goes slow on my system after time to the point where I must reboot.

Also, even when just uploading, I find browsing difficult. It's so slow.

I am still using ABC and am amazed, i can give a local setting to upload fast on the torrents that i need a good ratio on, and have a global or local upload speed for the others. its working great still. 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

I haven't had a problem with Azureus but this ABC torrent thing is pretty neat. Made a package for AUR at any rate

Please Cam where's that PKGBUILD ?
just cannot find it neither on /packages nor with pacman -Ss or qpkg

I'm using ktorrent atm.

ctorrent is also nice, it's a CUI torrent downloader.

Careful with ktorrent. Last time I tried it it got me banned from my favorite tracker.

Wow, which tracker? I can't download torrents from thepiratebay anymore (tracker is down according to ktorrent), maybe that's what happened to me to? Do you know why it happens?

This was a private tracker where I had a VERY good ratio. Never had a problem until one day I tried ktorrent (which crapped out on a torrent) and next thing I know, an hour later, I was banned. This wasn't the SVN verion though so it may be related to what people mean when they say that it's "broken".

Not sure about pirate bay, but if it's anything like TorrentSpy, then the torrents it keeps actually belong to many other outside trackers, many of which are at times down.

No I don't use the SVN version... thanks for the warning.

I run torrentflux on my server, which basically is a PHP frontend to bittorrent. It allows me to set torrent-specific options as well as general options, with different users and a neat directory listing. Only drawback is that it saves all files under nobody:nobody, but that may be a bad setting from my part. Definately worth a shot, though.
