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 (http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/).

Oh and one more thing, brian...So after I download the new client(currently using just plain ole bit torrent itself) , will it just take over as the default for getting new torrents???How do I get the new client up and runnin???Ray

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
