Most of Azureus I like a lot, you can see a LOT of info about the torrent, peers, piece being download and lots more.
My biggest dislike is that it's very slow, as in cpu usage.
Other things I disliked but these could be wrong settings from me:
1) Bitcomet by default names the partially downloaded file filename.ext.bc! so it's easy to see what's finished and what isn't, in Azureus I couldn't find this.
2) Unselect a single file in a torrent for download will still create the file, 0 bytes in size.
3) When Azureus is started again, the partially downloaded files will be checked again, this takes up time I could be downloading!

graham the first "post" to *every* topic linked to a specific program is simply a short version of the listing description & *that* is provided by the program author, hyperbole frequently included ;-)
Let's be clear, I don't want to mislead you, I don't have the resources to download, install or review what I list &, as "FHteam" postings are 90% mine, what you get is a very honest, but very *personal* opinion ;-)
I have never used, nor am I likely to use, a peer-to-peer 'service'. No matter which 'service' you use you are not downloading from a secure file server. You are basically downloading from *computers belonging to strangers located anywhere in the world*, that is not a source I'm prepared to trust. Friends maybe, strangers never!
You are 90% more likely to get a trojan, worm, malware or virus from a P2P download than any other single source. Not to mention the spyware/malware the 'services' add or offer.
So, sorry pardon, but this is one I definitely cannot help with. Allow me to point you to a forum & 2 download sites that I use for reference. They attract a LOT more user interaction than our forums do, just make sure that, where there are a lot of posts, you read more than just the first 3-4 to get an accurate picture.
