uTorrent vs Limewire

[hellsing293]

Well, I recently used limewire to download a torrent rather than uTorrent. I was just wondering, is there any benefit of using uTorrent over limewire or vice-versa when downloading torrents?

why dont u just use torrent sites like mininova.com or demonoid or anything, i really only would download music from programs like limewire or bearshare, although i recently did just download 2 movies

Those websites are torrent search engines, not the P2P program itself. All torrents can be used by most P2P programs.

Limewire isn't a very popular program to download torrents on. It has integrated the BitTorrent application for around 2 years. While uTorrent has been downloading torrents for awhile. I recommend using uTorrent or Azureus just because of the sheer popularity.

I, personally would use uTorrent as it is more suited for torrents.

o.O i didn't know Limewire did torrents now.


I like UTorrent (for windows) because it's tiny, uses almost no resources, and gets the job done. LimeWire is a bloated walking advertisement =p

that's the benifit in using UTorrent over LimeWire
