I have been using Azures as my bittorrent program for ages now, but since its development into Vuze it does more than I need it to and constantly annoys me trying to update itself. What is everyone else using?

uTorrent. It's fast, flexible and uses minimal resources. Even with several hundred connections, it never goes above 1% CPU.

You mean as a player? It's played everything I've ever threw at it, and was recently updated to make it a bit more modern (though don't get too excited, it still has some annoying quirks  ). _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I'm a big fan of CCCP, which comes with the rather good Media Player Classic Homecinema. IMO the picture quality is much better than VLC, plus it can off-load the processing to your graphics card. The codecs it installs also work with Windows Mediaplayer and any other direct show player so you can use what you like. http://www.cccp-project.net/I do have VLC installed too, but I only use it occasionally. No harm having both. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

I'm with JJ on both fronts. CCCP and uTorrent. Happy for years with no snags.
Will be interesting to test W7's playback of formats that XP required an additional codec for.

uTorrent for me, and you can encrypt the data also  _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.
