Blue Mage:
Yeah, we've been discussing this in the channel. Forget that.

Your best options are either to switch to one of Azureus, BitComet or uTorrent (all of which support decentralized tracking) or to hit the IRC chan.

DarkSkyLady:
I'll check out BitComet. Thank you so much!! ;D

Tsubasa:
Ok here it is, if you're on a less than 1.5 GHz system, forget about Azureus. It rapes the memory. I am on a slow computer so I like my BitComet. Apart from that, if you're going to use BitComet, go for the pre 0.64 versions, they're better at avoiding slow speeds caused by firewall configurations.  ;)

µTorrent supports:
Priotarization
DHT tracker/network
Selective Downloading
Encryption
Tracker
Remote Control
Super Seeding
RSS
UPnP Port Mapping

Besides that, it uses only 7000k memory.

Azureus supports:
All the above features plus it got all sorts of fancy features and makes you happy. However, it's one of the worst memory whores and will kill your CPU unless you're on a accelerated system. You also require Java. Recommended to anyone with a fast system and who cares more about perfection than CPU usage and do not find having Java installed a problem.

BitComet supports:
Most of the stuff above. What it doesn't support are:
Remote control
super seeding

Memory usage is 20000k to 30000k, although I am damn sure it was lower before.  :-\ It apparently is the best choice client for slow connections like dial-up. There is a leech-only mode too...although that's not a nice feature of-course. You can preview incomplete files and for several other features, I like BitComet the best.

bittornado  is what I always use and it seems to never have problems with scarywater no matter what state it is in.
