Nope. I have experienced serious memory leaks with uTorrent. Bad enough to take down windows. Plus, as KingTech mentions, it is the simplest client, also with a relatively small footprint.

Thanks. I got the BitTorrent client and it's just what I was looking for.

Why to use uTorrent? BitTorrent is creation of the founder of this protocol and I think he knows better than any other.

Key words...
"Closing arguments were made on Thursday before the jury was sent to deliberate, ending the three-day trial during which the recording industry tried to establish that Thomas had offered over 1,700 songs in a shared folder on the Kazaa file-sharing network in 2005."
So the key is to download and not share.

I don't think that's possible with a bittorrent client is it? You have to upload to download, right? If you could get around the upload issue, that kind of goes against the spirit of the technology. You be stealing from the pirates to get get the illegal music
