I just need an opinion on which of these torrent clients is best. I've been using BitComet for a while and I got used to it. I've also heard that Azureus is also good. Can it provide faster downloads or anything that would finish the job faster?

it mostly depends on the torrents and how many peers are connected.

I would personally use bitcomet :)

And remember that the better you configure your downloading software the faster you can download i have configured mine and even if there are not as many peers as a popular file (about 30) i can download at 400kb/s :)

First off, this should be in the P2P section, so i'll ask the mods to move it for you.
Second, i'd say go for ”torrent or Azureus, and stay FAR AWAY from Sh*tcomet.

There's not that much to choose between the two, and the third major candidate, ”torrent. The largest difference is that Azureus is written in Java, so it has a larger system footprint than the other two, written in C++.

Azureus currently uses its own version of DHT to find more peers, and this isn't compatible with the version used by Mainline, Bitcomet or ”torrent. Which is not that big a deal, and is rumored to be changing soon anyway.

Beyond that, they each have their own set of minor features. Azureus has plugin capability which the others lack. ”torrent has a built-in scheduler. So it's a question of which feature set appeals most to you. Best option is to try all three, then go with the one you like best.
