just wondering which P2P clients are best, seems to be slim pickings in the base debian repository so I figure that I am missing a repository or will have to go the long way to find a good client (however, I do not want to have to find and install a lot of dependencies that are also not in the repository, which is the case with limewire's linux build)

Hi Joseph,
There are a lot of bittorrent clients. BitTornado is my favourite. There's
also Amule which I use. Lime Wire has a linux (Debian) client. There are
loads of others. You just have to look for them.
Cheers,
Jonathan

I use mldonkey, it supports e2k and torrents, as well as some others
(although i think you have to compile it to support extra networks).
It has a very useful webinterface; the only downside is that lately
i've noticed mldonkey peaks my CPU every 3 seconds or so, i don't know
why.

I don't like mldonkey's style. For torrents, it is rtorrent for me and that's
the only P2P I use.

Hi,

I like transmission, which has all kinds of features I don't use but stay out of
my way. I used to use deluge, but read about excessive fragmentation under ext3
on the deluge forums that never got resolved to my satisfaction.


Best,
AA

I'd recommend uTorrent running under wine. Works great here.
