G5 iMac running Leopard. Transmission just crashes. I'd love to retire Azureus, which is a resource hog, has an incomprehensibly geeky preferences pane and is burdened with the completely useless Vuze overlay -- but it does at least work.

I agree Azureus can be a hog, but the geeky prefs pains and Vuze interface can both be dealt with by consulting the really excellent wikis for the app. I keep trying to replace it too, but Azureus simply offers functions that I like too much as they're implemented in Azureus, like SafePeer, web UI, traffic shaping, control over which torrents to seed and why, and so on. I've never had to deal with the Vuze UI, for example, since choosing expert interface in the prefs. YMMV, but I think the only real beef is the resource use, which isn't even that bad if you have the ability to find some old hardware to be your bittorrent box.Reply to This
