    yeah aria2 is decent but i'd rather have a decent client for torrent downloading. i should have started out asking people what they use on windows, additionally. rtorrent is the best linux client but I don't use that at home.

    Aria2 sounds to me like the sort of thing you have around because you like having some swiss-army-knife just in case. If you want to download some torrent and you happen to have aria2, you use that because you can't get bothered to install more junk in your computer. If you are a dedicated torrenter then you set a dedicated torrent system.

    i've use aria2 to get past some types of throttling with youtube and other stuff. in some cases it makes a huuuuuge difference.
