Nice bit torrent client

Let me share my experiences about bit torrent clients in Ubuntu. I started out with the default bit torrent client available in Ubuntu. Though it was good at work but it's UI didn't provide much information. Then moved to my favorite on windos, Azureus! It's good and provides good UI features and control but the problem was it's memory gootprint, a whopping 40MB !!! Why should a bit torrent client require that much of memory? Maybe, because it's Java based :)

Anyways, now am using uTorrent . It's a windows based BT client but works well under Linux with wine. And it's memory footprint is just 7MB for the same download as Azureus. Guess, Azureus needs to be off from my system.
