| Which is the best torrent client to use for Kanotix? I live in school so I have no control over the router or firewall, but I used to use Azureus on Windows XP and I knew how to tweak the settings |

You can use Azureus!
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install azureus

For me is Ktorrent. I had big problems with Azureus: connection to Internet completely lost for all software every few minutes...

| I recently started using torrents and played with azureus and ktorrent before settling on ktorrent. Azureus is more fully featured but I figure I don't want such a heavyweight java app running as a background process. Ktorrent does everything you need and does it well. It also looks better than azureus given that it is a native KDE app. |

| I want to use something different...I tried using Azureus but it doesn't download anything which I think is because of my school firewall and I have no control over it...If I use ktorrent I can download the same thing, but at slow speeds like 3 kb/s |

Well, maybe at your school they are slowing down ports which are usually used by Torrent clients. Or it's a bad seeder / leecher ratio, network overload, whatever  |

Thanks for the uTorrent (guide) link but I think I will wait for the real Linux client then 
Edit: Seems that there is quite a number of Torrent clients avail. but if you want working ipfilter.dat support then you are quite limited. Therefore uTorrent will be definitly nice to see. |

Hello!
IIRC There used to be a problem with files larger than 2 GB (or was the problem
with particular filesystem) with KTorrent. What is the best linux torrent client
for files larger than 4 GB ???
Thanks, Roman |

fat32 is limited at 4gb.. besides that (copying >4gb-files from reiserfs to fat), i never had trouble with t-clients downloading large files.. and i used ktorrent too. so, i dont think it depends on the used torrent-client.
is your incoming-folder on a fat32-partition? |

Hello!
No, it was not FAT32 IIRC. Maybe the incoming folder was located on the network share ...

| i like azureus the most, its very configurable and whenever i tried something else i allways missed some feature from azureus. You can have it send you a sms (if you pay) when a particular file is finished! And you can have it run ip-filters to highten security |

That guide for running utorrent through wine is gigantic. Simply put it somewhere logical like ~/apps/utorrent/utorrent.exe, navigate to it, and run wine utorrent.exe .
You can also create an application shortcut to it with kde, just remember to set the workpath to the directory the executable is in or you could run into problems. |

| Is IP blocking through ipfilter.dat supported (and working)? Seems to be a problem for some clients which are using rlibtorrent 0.11 |

| IP blocking is fruitless, use encryption (obfuscation) and use torrents with massive amounts of seeders and leechers if you think you will be caught. |

I've tried using other clients but in the end I always remain happy using bittornado (with the gui). I find that it is simple, small, and to the point. It always works great and never fails me, I've been using it for years now and still love it. I would definently try it out, it's already included with kanotix and you can get the gui by using apt.
On another note I just started messing around with Opera Browser again and noticed it has a torrent client built into it which seems to work pretty nice.
