I found a new bittorrent client: simplebt
sf.net/projects/simplebt
...
It is really simple and It takes up so much less memory than shareaza, I'm using it for all of my bittorrent needs. There's no screenshot on the site, so here's (the illegal file is blacked out, but as you can see, im getting nice speed on fedora core 2) :

--EDIT--
There is also a command line interface that lets you see more advanced info about the torrent, and a "torrentspy" interface that gives the same info as the console (and a bit more). The torrentspy loads as a seperate process.

I had problems with azureus, mostly because my computer is too slow to handle java apps. It is slow enough to warrant using this program, and I have to run shareaza with skins turned off. No problems with ares full, though.

This program is by no means leet. It's simple.
