Big BitTorrent client shootout

A couple weeks back I posted about PC World's BitTorrent client review round-up, in which four BT clients were tested. This week Webmonkey (yes, it's still around) has its own "shootout" between six of the top BitTorrent clients. With the exception of the cross-platform Azureus and BitTorrent (the official client), the rest are Windows clients: uTorrent, BitTornado, BitComet, and BitLord. For Windows it's uTorrent that comes out on top for its speed, features, and tiny footprint, and between the two Mac-compatible clients the reviewer chooses the official client for its speed. He also takes a moment to plug some "hybrid" clients including media aggregator FireAnt, Opera's new built-in BT downloader, and the still-in-alpha MozTorrent extension for Firefox.
