Azureus: First Look
From XML torrent options to IP filters, firewall tests to UPnP plug-ins, Azureus leads the way in making the torrent experience as customizable as possible. It's got enough flexibility to appeal to advanced users, but does it make it too hard for beginners to get in on the torrent action?
Watch this First Look at Azureus video to find out, and let us know your favorite torrent client in the comments below.

uTorrent is small (175 kb), portable (just one .exe) and works perfectly, with everything explained somewhere (easy tutorial). I honestly think that it's just the standard for having internet, that's how easy and well made it is. I don't think it's on CNET, though...it's worth leaving this site for it.
uTorrent is actually MicroTorrent, or MuTorrent. The "u" is actually a "mu", which in engineering terms is the symbol for "micro". People use "u" instead of "mu" because I dont think people are willing to search the Windows Character Map to copy the "mu" character everytime they refer to the program.
And I thought Azureus was pronounced "A-zoo-rus"?
I guess this is one of those programs where either one works...similar to Linux "Lin-ux" vs "Ly-nux".
