If your torrent has distributed hash table capability, I suggest that you also use that feature.

Happy sharing!

So what is everyone using for their torrent? What is the best?

Depends on your preferences. Being an old cli guy, I like rtorrent. I currently have on my CentOS 4.7 box

rtorrent-0.8.0-1.el4.rf libtorrent-0.12.0-1.el4.rf

from rpmforge. Be warned: on CentOS 4, libtorrent 0.12.4 did not work properly. I would not accept keyboard input. I've posted about this to the rpmforge list and am awaiting a reply. When I put the old one back in, all was good.

I don't run it on my 5.2/3 box, so I can't help there.
