    Hi,
    What is the best bit-torrent program to use? Is it good to use this type of program to upload a Counting Crows concert I recorded (legal to record their gigs, they have a big section on it on their official site).

    I have emule, is this supposed to be the best?

    thanks

    if you're highbandwidth and want to queue up loads of **** i'de recommend ABC (Another Bittorrent Client)

    BitTornado is good. It helped me solve a little router problem i had with regards to bittorrent; through its handy green / yellow light;)

    but I don't really wanna download every one that has been mentioned, i prefer to keep things simple and just get one. Whats the overall best? thanks!

    I second that. I couldn't get anything else to work properly. It's just a shame that Burst hasn't been updated in months.

    In my experience Azureus

    If you have an always on BB connection, then yes you can super-seed it using bittorrent, just keep an eye out for how much upload bandwidth is being used

    I have emule, is this supposed to be the best?

    emule is not bittorrent, it uses a completely different protocol
    thanks

    you're welcome
