Using Utorrent for quite some time now.
I used BitTornado for a long time because it is fast and easy to configure for fast and slow torrents. But it doesn't have DHT support so I switched to Bit Spirit. It seems to be a Bit Comet clone, but somewhat faster. Almost no documentation and options not quite as good as Bit Comet.
Although utorrent is small and doesn't need to be installed, it doesn't work with my ports setup. Also I am not sure if the privacy concerns have been resolved.

Who ever doesn't use uTorrent is considered a retard in my book. No offense, just that's the way it is.
Ok just tried uTorrent 1.5 and I'm getting the speeds (in some cases MORE) I get in Azureus. Bye bye Azureus. Heeellllooo uTorrent.
Bittornado first, and if a torrent has multiple trackers or speed is really slow I'll use uTorrent.
I actually gave up on bittorrent a while back, and just use Usenet for downloads now, using Newsleecher as my client. No more wasting effort on trying to be anonymous, having to keep up ratios, or getting in and finding no seeds or low speeds. Of course, my ISP has a good usenet server included with my monthly fee, so it's not for everyone.
I was just going to ask this question, I'll see if utorrent is faster, so far its not for me
i use regular bittorrent
uTorrent works great for me 
Still using bitcomet, tried utorrent before and must admit it was also pretty good.
uTorrent with encryption turned on.

You do realize if you turn encryption on and enable legacy connections you will get a faster transfer speed. most ISP's limit bittorrent traffic now, turning on encryption hides what your computer is doing thus not limiting the connection. Also I use a random port each time.

No problem .

I use BitTornado mainly for downloading from 1 torrent site I am subscribed to. I use Burst for all other public torrent sites. Also, use XBT Client only for downloading from torrents using udp trackers.
