Hmmm... if utorrent is that good, I may have to try it. I will admit Azureus does have a lot of overhead - I just don't notice it that much because my computer is fast enough to handle it. There were glitches in earlier versions were it would take 99% of your CPU time no matter what it was doing, but they fixed that.

About the pirated vs. legit usage of torrents - most of the stuff I download is stuff that doesn't exist in commercial form in the US. Pretty much all fansubs fit into this category. The raw form exists in Japan and the rights are held by a Japanese company, but they won't release the version fans in the US want because they wouldn't make enough money off it to be profitable (at least in their view). So personally I see nothing wrong with downloading this stuff, the company has essentially said that you're not causing them to lose money. Copyright protection software and protocols screw this system up completely - so that's why I'm against it.
