Default Best Torrent-Client/Which one do you prefer?

Hi!

I only tried one client so far which didn´t work well. (freezes, PC getting terribly slow, etc.) Because of this experience I'm still using Overnet. images/smilies/wink.gif

So, I don't know much about BitTorrent (useful sites, good clients, tips and so on) and perhaps some of you guys can help me.

Which is your favorite client, your favorite site(s)?

Thanks in advance!

Try ABC xkwilson, it's based on Shadow's, but allows you to download multiple torrents without having to open BitTorrent mutliple times.

I am very satisfied with ABC. It never crashed on my comp and with it I can stop and resume downloads to my liking.

I've been using Azureus, even though it's Java. *barf*
