hii all, i have been using bittorrent as a torrnt client for a few weeks and noticed some poor traits in its functionality/programming.

i have just arrived home to find out that the file i was downloading has been downloading at Zero Kb/s.

so i click, download later. then back to that file click download now.

wa-hey its now back to 20kb/s.

so while ive been at work its been downloading Zero for god knows how long, and it takes a manual effort for it to rejoin and start downloading faster again.

what is that all about? surely it should auto chop and change who/weher it downloads from to ensure a minimum speed? not just stop and sit there?

I've been using Az for ages and never changed client because it is THE BT client tbh. However since Chkdsk shish kebabed my Windows partition a few days ago, I tried out uTorrent and was stunned. It's changed so much since the earlier versions!

I'm sticking to it now because it's got enough features now to replace Az for me. All in a single 170k executable!
