I am aware of this application and I do like it, however PS3insider will not support it (help you with it). It will work and you can download our content with it. Unforetunetly, however, there are way to many Bittorrent clients and not enough P3i staff to be able to support more than one client. If anyone uses a client other than Azureus, you are on your own. Just an FYI.

well i use this one SHADOW's experimental BitTorrent client, version 5.8.1.1 same as omega never had any problems with it .

I'm going to actually start using the one you reccommended Omega, I seem to be having problems with Azureus. Such as my Internet connection grinding to a halt, losing control over my Internet connection after about 30 minutes and downloads constantaly stoping. :x
Odd. I haven't had any complaints with Azureus.
Bittorrent is too damn slow
It's actually quite fast for me, I have it in the 60Kb/s region at times which is the fastest I've ever downloaded something.
Same here, I get around 55-70 KB/s with mine. Are you sure that you've got the right ports open Brad?

Azurreus requires a little bit more processor overhead than other clients.
Still I recommend it as the best torrent client for any and all user levels.
But if your system is is over-cluttered or your cpu rating isn't very good it is a poor choice.
And some people will experience significant performance loss, possibly grinding to a halt.
A key thing you should do before install Azureus is delete any and all other clients on your pc.
Unseen conflicts from other client is the most common reason for these troubles.
But again if your CPU is sub 1.8Ghz or AMD 1800+ rating things might feel slow.
Avoid the original bitconjurer if you are in this class.
Some other version might be better for you.

I get 50-300k++ sometimes depending on the popularity of the file. Azureus is definitly not for everyone but its the most supported version of BT out there. I to have problems with Azureus like connection problems do to its hatred of a firewalls of anysort. If ur thinking of upgrading WinXp to sp2 be sure to disable the internal firewall totally or azureus wont work properly.
Brad if ur a person that likes to download very large files (1Gbyte+) very fast BT is the best.
I used to use emule plus and when i found a connection, sometimes waiting for days, it would only go about 10k a sec.
Kazaa was good for popular anime episodes, mp3s, and the sort but beyond that its pretty useless.
