If you're big on BitTorrent, chances are you've heard of the popular BitTorrent clients uTorrent and Vuze (previously Azureus). According to a study highlighted by all-things-BitTorrent blog TorrentFreak, uTorrent download speeds outpace Vuze speeds by up to 30% on some ISPs.
The research revealed a remarkable speed difference with uTorrent users getting 16% higher download speeds than Vuze users. On average uTorrent users reached a 176 Kbps download speed while Vuze users were stuck at 151 Kbps on the same torrents and with the same ISPs.
The reason for the speed disparity: Researchers believe that variations in the way the applications distribute peers, how they handle connections, and how they discover new peers influences the speed. If you aren't already using uTorrent—our readers' favorite BitTorrent client—these results seem to provide compelling reasons to switch. Hit up the full post over at TorrentFreak for more details.
