For me it has to be bittorrent-curses, or on occasion Ktorrent. What about you others? Azureus? Bittornado?

Have you seen qBittorrent? It's meant to be one of the better loonix clients.

I may try it, requires QT4 though, so I'll have to update my qt first.

EDIT: I had a go at installing it... but apparantly it needs the boost c++ libraries, and I cannot for the life of me work out how the hell you are supposed to get those to work.

One thing I have heard that I should say in this topic, is that some trackers have been banning clients that use libtorrent (like qtorrent), so it may not be the best choice...

I'm using bittornado. I like it. Simple, well integrated with Gnome. I like things simple. I have used qtorrent as well, but don't often use KDE.

azureus is the way to go, if you can open ports in your router, it is the best ever. I almoust always download full speed with it, if you seed as much as you dowload.

Well, I don't think that the client has much to do with the download speed, but azureus is very featureful and a great client. I prefer simplicity over features, though.

I use Deluge, it's a very nice client, clean but a bit slow because it is written with Python and PyGTK. I don't know if it's based on libtorrent, does anybody know?

It is (source), not sure if it's still an issue, but I recall several trackers banning ktorrent because they thought it used libtorrent (it doesn't). The quality - if that was the concern - of the library may have risen since then.
