Can someone tell me where I can find an accessible Bit Torrent client? I'm interested in Torrent and I'm looking for a good program. Thanks.

Well, you'll probably get a lot of responses to this one, with everybody telling you the one they use is better than any other! lol. I'd suggest avoiding ABC though which is one that some people use. I found that after having that thing open for a couple of hours it really began to drain the system resources.




at the moment I am using Utorrent which I find to be very good. Plenty of useful features; it seems to happily sit in the background without making your machine unusable; and, most important of all, it is free. I'd suggest giving that a try and seeing what you think. The direct link for the download is:




http://www.utorrent.com/download/1.5/utorrent.exe




good luck with that.

I use BitComet.

Actually, I haven't been aware or interested in bittorent until a couple of days ago, when I found a bunch of books in txt format on one of their sites. Now, I am very interested. So, I might have a lot of questions about setting it up etc. if you folks could help, please be patient. My son uses limewire and soulseek--which I have found to be totally inaccessible. If I am wrong there, please let me know.

Mmmm. Azureus. Though it may not meet your definition of accessible.
