Can anyone suggest a good torrent client? I use Fedora Core 5. The the python Bittorrent is fast and light, but gives me corrupted video files when its done. Azerus give me perfect files, but it sucks the life out of dev/testing box to the point where the display takes minutes to wakeup after it goes to sleep from lack of use.
Suggestions of something inbetween would be nice.
Thank you.

If this is reproducible, I'm sure the upstream authors would like to know about it so that they can fix it.
See the "I found a bug, where should I report it?" entry in the BitTorrent FAQ (http://support.bittorrent.com/cgi-bin/bittorrent.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php... (this question is on the second page of the FAQ; I'd include a direct URL but it would be ludicrously long and probably stop working in a day or two).

Azureus can be throttled quite easily. Man is your friend.

Which brings me to a very puzzling situation. I have just been downloading using azureus. I could change the upload and download speeds easily, and the requested settings were reflected in the actual speeds within a short time. However, our LAN is still having some problems with it. Whenever azureus is running, either here on FC4 or on an XP box, all the other users of the network get very many time-outs. You may or may not be able to get an Internet connection, though often it will be the page that has timed out. Fetchmail times out constantly.
I really would like to solve this puzzle. Does anyone have any suggestions?

$ man azureus No manual entry for azureus
$ dir /usr/share/doc/azureus-2.4.0.3 ChangeLog.txt License.txt
Doesn't throttling affect the bandwidth usage? My problem is system resource usage, not bandwidth, infact Azerus is slower than the bittorrent client by quite a bit.

There's always YMMV, but that is completely the opposite of my experience.

I'll second those experiences myself, azureus wins easily. start it, forget it till its done.

Well I put in Sun Java and things are _much_ better. Like night and day.
Is something wrong with gcj or what?

No idea Arther. When I asked right about java right after this install, I got pointed at the jpackage site and it worked just fine. So I've not tried the gcj version at all.

Azureus performs better using Sun Java installed using JPackage, see http://www.city-fan.org/tips/JpackageJava.

That is the combination that worked well for me.

Can those coexist with what wever (the gcj I assume) that it is currently running on?

Yes, the alternatives system lets you have both installed and switch between them: http://www.city-fan.org/tips/JpackageJava#head-eb6dc2dead9941599372f6ac183a76199470515c
I imagine there's some way to arrange for an application to use a different Java to the rest of the machine, but I don't know how. (Possibly changing paths in its start-up script to point to the different environment)

Azureus is your typical Java RAM hogger. It's a nice client with lots of good plugins (and really good ones are in short supply on Linux), but it just horrible for RAM.
The only way I've found to make it tolerable (just) on my 512Mb machine is to set it up the way I like it using the GUI first:
1. autoscan a directory and autoimport any torrent files found there.
2. Set up firefox to save torrent files in that directory
3. Set up the RSS feed plugin to autodownload stuff I want, when it appears.
4. Run Azureus headless: java -jar azureusjarfile.jar --ui=console
That makes it bearable... but dear lord... someone somewhere needs to slap some sense in the Java designers.

Well it works 10 fold better now on my 800 MHz and 256MB of ram spare machine. Gcj seemed to have some issues.
