[QUOTE="HappyTalk, post: 86269, member: 22671"] Yer I'd used Azureus for a few years, it's got great features but recently when I noticed it using 260mb of ram while downloading about 4 torrents together with the fact you pretty much need to dedicate a machine to it as nothing else runs properly at the same time (mp judders) I also jumped ship to utorrent. Looking at the seeds/peers I see that utorrent is the most popular client these days so I'm not alone. I noticed that utorrent seems to contain all the useful features of azureus without the rest of the feature bloat and uses about 2% as much ram with no impact on other running programs. Personally I'd recommend any windows user makes the switch. I certainly notice no download speed difference I've seen some of the highest speeds ever with utorrent. So I'd welcome utorrent integration. I just did an experiment. I set up latest utorrent beta, got web interface working (doesn't work with ie6? but ok with opera). I then set MediaPortal Web Browser up and got that working (using recent MP 2.0.1.0), set the homepage to be [url]http://user:pass@10.0.0.10:8080/gui/[/url] (replacing user/pass with real values) and now when I run Web Browser I get a front end showing me whats going on with utorrent.
