A lot of people like Azureus.  However, it dogged down my machine like you wouldn't believe even after toying around substantially with configurations.  Prolly a config issue with my PC rather than the s/w itself.  FWIW, I use and like ABC.

Not sure if ABC will take over as the default BT client.  Try it, and if it doesn't take over as the default, un-install BitTornado and then re-install ABC and I bet it'll register as the default.

Azerus on my mac works great. No issues at all. But you mileage on a windows PC may vary (as you have described already).

Auz did take over as default from Bit Tornado and I'm about to dump Auz as it is a resource hog. My puter is so old it runs on steam power-yet I can DL/UL 2 torrents,sometimes 3 and do other stuff too,with Bit Tornado. Your bandwidth may be more limiting than your client-we upgraded our DSL,and its 4x faster

somebody recommended the Burst client to me, it works great. Multiple torrents, good resume feature, and a fair bit of options, I've got version 3.1.0b
