Azureus, all around, because it just works, and it works good. It only sucks because it uses a lot of cpu and memory.

For specific platforms, I'd use uTorrent on Windows, because it's tiny and is fast and, yeah, good client.

I just started using Transmission on OSX, and it seems really good too. It's really simple, and has a nice GUI, and it gets the job done.

µTorrent is one of the top three. Its number one on my list. Azureus is #2. I havent decided whats #3.

Another vote for µtorrent. It seems to not put a lot of load on the system resources.

uTorrent without a doubt. Azureus is next, because it hogs memory and runs via Java (that sucks about it)... uTorrent is the same thing but without being a memory hog, and looks a little nicer.

I used to use Azureus, but gave it up when the memory hoggin and long startup times were unbearable.
uTorrent is SO much better.
If it only had the plugin support of Auzureus, it would be the perfect client

Azureus because it supports encryption. Do any other clients do encryption yet?
