What BitTorrent client you suggest to use?
Knoppix 4.0 DVD is comming and I don't want to take my chances downloading from mirrors a huge 2.0Gb (or whatever size would be) file.
I'm a newbie with BitTorrents. What Windows client do you suggest to use? Please provide the link.
I know Knoppix featured its own client, but I only have NTFS filesystems, so I need to use a Windows client.
Thanks.

I suggest the actual BitTorrent client. The link is www.bittorrent.com (doh). Not real hard to find. The wiki article on BitTorrent lists several clients and even suggests a different one, but it is not current and made this recomendation based on the older 3.x BitTorrent client. The Current 4.x clients seem to be a better choice that the wiki's suggestion (although everyone has their own opnion). I would suggest the 4.02 version, but know of no reason not to try the newer Beta client if you feel lucky.

I run both Debian stable & WinXP. The latest Sun Java JRE, i think 1.5r2. Then on top of the JRE, the Azureus client. I have been downloading about 80GB of distros, game demo, over the last couple of months & it has only acted bizzarre twice. The latest release at http://azureus.sf.net seems to have cleared that up too.

I highly recommend the one I've been using, bitcomet. It works very well and has a clean, interface that's easy to get around.

Didn't bitcomet use to come with CoolWebSearch,StartPage and a browser Hijacker? Have you tried running adaware, spybot or some such before and after installing bitcomet?

I have ad-aware and use it all the time, so removing it after the installation was no trouble for me. I didn't see anything in the license agreement, but if it does have adware, it's already been removed from my computer
