Best BitTorrent Application? [Hive Five Call For Contenders]

Alan Henry ? Whether you're downloading Linux distros or the latest content patch for your favorite game, often the fastest method is to snag the files via BitTorrent instead of queuing up for a throttled transfer over HTTP. This week we want to know which BitTorrent application is your favorite to download, manage, and organize the files you download.

The last time we visited the topic of BitTorrent clients was several years ago, and some of the best apps have changed. Some have vanished entirely, others have been dethroned from their former glory. Which applications do you prefer to download and organize your torrents? Leave your vote in the comments below.

Hive Five nominations take place in the comments, where you post your favorite tool for the job. We get hundreds of comments, so to make your nomination clear, please include it at the top of your comment like so: VOTE: BEST BITTORRENT APPLICATION. Please don't include your vote in a reply to another commenter. Instead, make your vote and reply separate comments. If you don't follow this format, we may not count your vote. To prevent tampering with the results, votes from first-time commenters may not be counted. After you've made your nomination, let us know what makes it stand out from the competition.

About the Hive Five: The Hive Five feature series asks readers to answer the most frequently asked question we get: "Which tool is the best?" Once a week we'll put out a call for contenders looking for the best solution to a certain problem, then YOU tell us your favorite tools to get the job done. Every weekend, we'll report back with the top five recommendations and give you a chance to vote on which is best. For an example, check out last week's five best mobile podcast catchers.
