Default Which Torrent Client?

I have been using Azureus (Vuze) for a couple of years but recently it appears to have got 'bloaty' and full of things I don't want.

What client would you recommend?

Thanks,

Steve

Another vote for Utorrent.
I used Azureus and i was impressed but ,imo, it's a resource hungry bugger whereas Utorrent uses **** all.

Zeropaid.com - if it's free it's for me has a whole list of clients (and peoples reviews of them) as well as Torrent news etc

utorrent is popular, but it has issues sometimes. Bitcomet is fine to. I sometimes use bitlord when utorrent ***** up (file is being processed by somethin else error, when it's not, vista)

Thank you, I have downloaded and installed uTorrent. It is certainly 'lighter' and less resourse intensive.
