I tried launching Azureus again and it crashed at the same place.

The third time I tried it worked.  In fact where it was crashing was
when I was trying to use it to create a directory for my downloaded
files.  Before I tried it the third time, I created the directory but
not from within Azureus.  Then I just selected the existing directory
from within Azureus.  Beyond that everything is working.  As of this
writing I've fully downloaded the file and I'm now just seeding it.

I've found Azureus somewhat buggy in the past. I guess things haven't
changed much.  It's by far the most feature-rich Bittorrent client out
there.  Perhaps it has too many features for it's own good?

That and the fact that it's Java-based. Java's always been a resource
hog (at least for me).

After I've decided that I've seeded this torrent sufficiently, I doubt
I'll be using it anymore.  KTorrent meets my needs just fine. It's very
very good.
