Vuze?
I love transmission on mac. Always been a user of utorrent on windows but transmission has this great option that i can make labels and the torrents can be downloaded to that folder. Maybe this option is on utorrent now too but this was not the case before.
I linked a windows port of transmission that I have been using for about one year and never had any problem with. I love its minimalist look compared to most torrent clients:

http://www.qbittorrent.org/ for me.
Small like UTorrent, but open source. Easy to configure. Fast speeds
I heard the Transmission port to Windows kinda suck and I could not get good speeds with Deluge out of the box...
Console like interfaces seem pretty cool, but a torrent client uses so little recouces anyway

It's one of the best options if you are using Windows.
Does Transmission consolidate unused files like uTorrent does these days?
I haven't used it for years, but when I did and I was downloading something with multiple files, when finished, it would have what I wanted and then usually whatever files were next to it for whatever reason. As far as I am aware uTorrent stores these parts in a seperate file rather than having just broken versions of the files themselves.
If that makes any sense, lol.

What ads? You know you can turn them off, right?
I didn't. The preferences menu is so jam-packed that I likely didn't notice it. Perhaps I'll try upgrading then.

Old version of uTorrent.
To be fair it's not exactly easy to find, it's in the Advanced options and it's called offers.sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled, set it to false to turn them off.

Agreed ... very little wrong with Utorrent considering its pricepoint!
This is great. Thanks for sharing.

Vuze. Nothing else comes close.
No consistently used desktop program should ever use Java.

uTorrent 3.1.3, the seed tab is very useful.

Well this one does and it works great.

Lightweight and gets the job done with no unnecessary frills attached. No idea how it'd fare for heavy-duty torrenting, though - I've never had more than a few torrents running concurrently.

Well the last version I used (I know we're going back quite some time...) was less than 100 kilobytes.
what does it do that made you pay for it?

uTorrent is bloated? What kind of crappy computer do you have?
