    Which one should I use? Just for downloading torrents, LimeWire or BitComet?

    Definitely not LimeWire.
    I'm not sure about BitComet, but I use Utorrent. I find it the best, and it's under a few MBs.

    I don't hear good things about these two, I use Utorrent, if y'know how to use, you get no viruses.

    Torrents are the way to go if you know what your doing.

    Utorrent wins, or even flashget's torrent plugin.

    I've tried flashget, and personally, I hated the torrent feature...

    Neither, limewire is malware infested and bitcomet abuses the bitorrent protocol. Use utorrent.

    I don't know if this is useful but I use a good program called vuze, heard very bad things about limewire

    vuze is bloatware.

    damn, if i have know utorrent was good i should have gotten that.
    When it asked i needed a bittorrent program, i just grab the name as itself, bittorrent.

    Is bittorrent any good? or utorrent is better? is there any difference?

    yes, utorrent is more user friendly, it is the #1 torrent dl program as far as I know.
    emule, bitcomet and other torrent (linked) programs are more complicated, and seem to be slower on most of my computers.
    utorrent has what you want and need, and nothing more.
    (dl, and your done, settings are esay to change as well i.e:upload, dl speed)

    utorrent and bittorrent are owned by the same people so I don't think there'd be a huge amount of difference between them anymore. utorrent used to be far better though.

    utorrent FTW!!!! speeds are maximum at blackcats with utorrent. *sigh* I have an extra referral and nobody is wanting any. don't worry I won't post it here.
