"I remember using the G3 Torrent client before discovering uTorrent
so now that i think of it utorrent design is based on the G3torrent design (very similar),
yesterday i was checking RUFUS client (open source) and its one of the best clients ever,
it includes Webui, RSS, different Choker strategies, manual ban or after N bad pieces and much more
and best of all with 5 torrents downloading it only grabbed 10MB of memory.

if you dont need DHT and PEX this client is an excellent alternative to the almighty uTorrent
or if you have a problem getting your download done with UT this will do it.

best 2nd client out there for me IMHO."

Actually Rufus was there before uTorrent :p

G3Torrent was before utorrent and Rufus was the successor of G3
because G3 development stopped so Rufus was created and improved upon, fixing bugs etc.
the more I use Rufus the more i see the connection with UT.
it may not be 150kb size but Rufus is super stable and got options not yet seen in UT.
its a great "alternative" to uTorrent and the fact that it eats only 10MB of ram make it very cool.
might lack DHT and PEX which is crucial for some people with throttled torrents, but if you dont
then Rufus is better than Azureus and Bitcomet and the rest.
