I really like that new version of Shadow's experimental client, it has some desent features (allocating temp. data is no longer neccessary). But what I really miss, is a "try to complete single files first" option.

Most torrents I download are music cds or whole TV series. It would be great, if my download would be worth something after 80 %, I mean i.e. 10 complete episodes (or songs) and 4 incompl.

I don't know if this feature is implementable or if client authors are browsing these forums at all. But I believe this option should be taken under their consideration.

Another cool thing for Shadow's client would be to have a small D/L manager integrated like Burst or BT++ are. To have 4 or 5 small BT signs in tray doesn't make it easy to distinguish between the downloads.

So keep the great work developing; I have a feeling that in some time not an IE download window or GetRight/ Gozilla will pop up when I press a download button on a site, but BT will start.

I also like shadow's client, but I agree that it does get confusing with multiple tray icons. They really ought to do something about this. Don't know why, but shadow's client and shareaza are the only 2 (that I have used) that will recognize .torrent.mpg extensions as torrent files.

Azureus is probably the best ive seen, i Havent tried Shadows yet.

Shareaza's BT engine is flat our horrible,and BT++ and the experimental dont give enough options. For example with Azureus you can set different files within the torrent to different priority levels.

If you like Azureus then you might like also Pingpong-abc -client(based on shadow). It has a similar GUI and a lot to configure,if you need to :)
