Well kyle,
Since I am still just a noob at using Bit Tornado, I can give you my perspective in it:
Pro with using Limewire
-----------------------
Easy to use interface
Downloads pretty quick
Programs come already bundled
Corrupted files are automatically killed
Choice of skins
Searches are REALLY easy to do, just type in what you are looking for
Able to scan another users shared files
Cons with using Limewire
------------------------
Possible virus embedded in programs, but you can do a scan check with your virus software
Sometimes downloads are unavailable because people move the file
Pro Bit Tornado
---------------
Easy navigation, just pretty much point and click
Websites hold files
New releases of things very early
Alot to choose from
Not many to non-existant viruses
Cons with Bit Tornado
---------------------
Sometimes you don't really get what you are looking for, so you have to be careful
Not able to connect sometimes
Sometimes, downloads can take anywhere up to 3 days (I am basing this off of a download that I just did recently)
If you don't have any sites to go to, you have to search the web to get anything good
A considerable amount of configuration
Leech and seeds have to be taken into account when downloading things, the more seeds the better
Now, don't get me wrong, I am not bad mouthing BT AT all. That is why I am trying it out. I just like to get what I need and then go, and not really have to go through alot. So I am definately not downplaying it. I love to use Limewire, because it is really easy, regardless of what people say that it contains viruses and stuff, that is one them. It wouldn't be my fault just because they got it, so that is their own personal experience. Because the same can go for IRC and that is mentioned around here alot.
As far as the other p2p app you mentioned, I have never really used it so I really can't comment on that. My advice, stick with what you like. Everyone is going to tell you this sucks and that sucks, don't pay no mind to them, no matter what client you use, you should be happy with how easy and resourceful you want it to be.
If you are still unsure, try them all out, and then see what you like. Go through the file sharing forum, because many of these have been discussed to death! But the only real choice you have is your own. So, try out Limewire, Azureus, Bit Tornado, DC++ and all the others, because no matter what you use, they are always going to be issues.
Hope this helps you!
BTW, I don't use winrar for the .rar files, I use winzip, so I apologize for not being able to help you out in that area.
