Does Azureus have to be such a CPU hog?

I had Bit Lord for about a week before i got rid of it. I couldn't connect to any trackers at all, (Firewall was off and all) and it just had problems. Then i got Bit Comet, and although it looks almost exactly the same, it has worked perfectly for over a year now. I like the fact it gets updated so often because i know that the guys developing this program are putting effort in, not just letting problems come up. I never liked UTorrent or Azureus, i had some problems with my firewall. I knew the problem would be solved if i turned my firewall off, but i didn't want that, i want to have it on all the time, just to feel safe . So if you are still having problems i would get bit comet, if not stay with your program you have now. Just an opinion.

except for the fact that it abuses the superseed mode of clients, by connecting and disconnecting to them rapidly in order to appear as a new peer and get more data. bitcomet (and it's ripoffs, bitspirt and bitlord) is banned from a number of private trackers due to it's past abuse of the private flag and the aforementioned problems with abusing the protocol.

utorrent is probably the best client ever made

If you properly forward your ports, it will give you no problems

O.K. after all the discussion, I had to find out for myself, so I switched to Utorrent. Been using it for 4 or 5 days and everthing's fine. Yes, it's a lighter load and a very nice program but it doesn't seem to be as "tweekable" as Azureus. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get better UL spd.? I can download like the dickens. I was getting moments of 80-90 kbs. ULing with Az. using the help links posted here, now I can't seem to break 45 or so. Just asking, don't want to spend another year experimenting, Thanks.
