Utorrent vs. Transmission vs. Vuze for mac.
If you are living in this modern world and surrounded by computer it is pretty safe to say that you have come across some files called torrents. These files, though small, provide you information to download considerably large files. But the problem is your browser cannot use this information, they need specific downloader that are capable of using these files and downloading the files that you actually need.
There are many torrent programmes out in the market, some of the popular ones are the above ones, especially for macs. They all have some or the other thing that they are better at but to be frank we all need the fastest ones. At least I want the one that get the stuff I want the fastest. For this test, I did consider many factors but I think speed is the only one people are most concerned about.
All the above programs are free. Transmission has no search functionality, while uTorrent offer a mere search functionality, Vuze on the other hand has a special interface built for it which sometime can get really frustrating. The former programs are lightweight and will not clog your computer, atleast as per my experience.
I used a common file with the above three programs, to test the speed on common networks. I am using a high speed internet connection, so your speed might not match up to mine or might be better than mine but play close attention to the ratio of the speed differences rather than the speed itself.
uTorrent was extremely fast comparing to the any other torrent client I tired, it would be understatement stating that it was extremely fast. I did use some paid programmes with the same file, and even they did not come close to the speeds uTorrent gives.
I was a religious user of Transmission, as of this morning I am switching to uTorrent. The pictures I published before should explain my switch. I do like some functionality transmission offers, such as selective downloading, which either of them dont offer, but it is not a fair bargain if the download did not even start, while the download is 100% in uTorrent.
