Try "Right Click" on a Torrent file, then "Open with Other
Application...", choose from the menu if present (but you said it isn't
in the menu), if not in the menu, choose "Use a custom command" at the
bottom, either a) type in the command you usually run to launch Azareus,
b) or click "Browse...", then find the script that launch Azareus.

[OFF TOPIC]
If you want Azareus to appear in the “Applications” --> “Internet” menu,
create a file in “/usr/share/applications” and call it “azareus.desktop”
and fill it with the following:
        [Desktop Entry]
        Encoding=UTF-8
        Name=Azareus BitTorrent
        Comment=Download files with Azareus BitTorrent
        Exec=azareus
        Terminal=false
        Type=Application
        StartupNotify=false
        Icon=azareus
        Categories=Application;Network;
        MimeType=application/x-bittorrent
        
Off course, you might want to change the “Exec=” and “Icon=” to what
really suites you.

Ziyad.
