I've been using Deluge for a few weeks now and I'm satisfied. I always
had some problems with other clients. Azureus slowed down my relatively
fast system and gave errors, Bittornado opens a new window for every
download, Freeloader had some bugs in user interface and GNOME
Bittorrent is too simple even for my modest needs. 

I was getting desperate in my search for a nice client. Some how I
managed to miss Deluge - perhaps it's so new. It's not as tweakable as
Azureus, but at least so far it fills my needs well.
