Bittorrent Clients - Ubuntu

I can now consider my quest over! And no I'm talking about the quest that most of my MMORPG friends go on! I'm talk about the quest for a Bittorrent client to use on my Ubuntu 10.04. Now before i was an avid Ubuntu user, my torrent app of choice for my windows PC was/still is Utorrent, which is a powerful application. So when making the transition to ubuntu i came across three contestants.

The first I came across was c
alled Transmission, which is the
default torrent app that is released with the ubuntu distro. Its a as a simple graphic user interface (GUI) and is easy enough to use, but it just dont give that Utorrent feel. Even though it provides reasonable features. Check Features:

The other app i decided to try was Ktorrent. Now it provides most of the features that Utorrent posses. If your the type of person that is not
bothered by clutter GUI, or having most of your downloads "STALL" on you then you can give this app a spin. Other than that, Its feature efficient and just may be the app for you. Check Features:

The last one, which I'm currently using is call Deluge. Its a
simple and powerful app, plus its GUI is the closes to that of Utorrent that just make me feel at home. For info, Check Site:



NOTE: Anyone of these bittorrent client can be downloaded from your Synaptic Package Manger.
