This is a great app now with DHT support. Also its smallest in memory usage.

Archish whats the memory usage when downloading 2-3 torrents with huge file sizes ?
Click to expand...

the client when loaded eats 1mb memory. With 2 torrents the memory usage was less than 5mb. The only thing i found unusual was the speed which kept fluctuating, bitcomet gives me steady speed.

EDIT the torrents were one cd size file and a dvd image.
 
yeah u torrents speeds fluctuate a lot in comaprison to bitcomet....besides nothing catches seeds as fast and as much as bitcomet does :D
 
now u tell me after i download 40 % of a 1.4 gig file, zzzzzz...

yea, download speed keeps on fluctuating though uploads stay quite constant...
 
The speeds vary a lot in comparision with Bit Comet. But one thing I have noticed even with a steady and faster download rate, the amount of data collected in a given period of time is the same !!!

Maybe Bitcomet downloads a lot of trash data, or misreports the speeds.
 
The speeds arent to constant. Very low then Moderatly high.

I never get Full Speeds like in BitComet.

ill stick to bitComet thank you.. :D
