I realize there are two AUR uploader helper, aurploader[1] and burp[2]？Which one is you guys using? What's the pro and con?
[snip]
I was using aurploader until recently but gave burp a go after I tried cower by the same aurthor. I really liked cower and burp looks a little more snappy to me than aurploader.

I am using yaourt for a while and it is painfull to choose between so much aur helps.
How about cower compare to yaourt?
I can't really compare yaourt and cower as I never used an aur helper before (except aurploader for uploading).
I used to use a simple BASH script to download and extract the tarballs containing the PKGBUILDs, etc but this was getting difficult to manage, ie no searching or notification of new package updates.
Those are the features of cower I use the most, search and status of packages. It works well for me.

FYI cower and burp are developed by Dave Reisner, a current developer of pacman ;) Cower can't be compared to yaourt as it only downloads packages doesn't build them. I use both cower and burp, they are very handy when you work with a terminal :) -- (\_ /) copy the bunny to your profile (0.o ) to help him achieve world domination.
