µTorrent is a small and incredibly popular BitTorrent client.
Micro-Sized Yet Feature Filled

Most of the features present in other BitTorrent clients are present in µTorrent, including bandwidth prioritization, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading and Mainline DHT (compatible with BitComet). Additionally, µTorrent supports the Protocol Encryption joint specification (compatible with Azureus 2.4.0.0 and above, BitComet 0.63 and above) and peer exchange.

Resource-Friendly

µTorrent was written with efficiency in mind. Unlike many torrent clients, it does not hog valuable system resources - typically using less than 6MB of memory, allowing you to use the computer as if it weren't there at all. Additionally, the program itself is contained within a single executable less than 1 MB in size.

Skinnable and Localized

Various icon, toolbar graphic and status icon replacements are available, and creating your own is very simple. µTorrent also has support for localization, and with a language file present, will automatically switch to your system language. If your language isn't available, you can easily add your own, or edit other existing translations to improve them!

Actively Developed and Improved

The developer puts in a lot of time working on features and making things more user-friendly. Releases only come out when they're ready, with no schedule pressures, so the few bugs that appear are quickly addressed and fixed.

Change Log - http://filehippo.com/download_utorrent/changelog/
  • Fix: various asserts (e.g. adding torrents with label, ratings)
  • Fix: fixed DHT issue where uTorrent would return peers for non-existent torrents
  • Fix: don't url encode urls of web seeds

Never tired Bitcomet before so I can't really say anything about that but uTorrent is good.

RE: uTorrent 3.1.2 RC1

uTorrent became rather bloated ever since version 3.

I did the switch to transmission for windows and recently been using qbittorrent upon Littlebits recommendation.

@MalwareVirus: When it come to Bitcomet, Littlebits is the person you want to ask as if I remember correctly he still uses BitComet.
