Hm, do you have the option for "Randomize port each time utorrent starts" checked or unchecked?
I just leave it unchecked and set the port that I already have set forwarded.

I used Aureus before, fine but heavy as hell. Since I can't run utorrent natively, I'm using rtorrent (an ncurses client), it has all the features I need for 2m of memory usage.:)

Bitlord is full of adware and that alone is enough for me to mistrust it.
If you ask me, Azureus and BitComet are the top choices.
uTorrent is also great, but the whole sellout and closed source thing makes me trust it less..

Before I used Azureus for downloading only stuffs with Japanese names but the problem was the memory consumption....
Now I use Bitcomet 0.70 + Bittornado 0.3.7
Bitcomet for stuffs with Japanese names, Bittornado for Anime, mp3, etc...

I remember I read on a forum Bitcomet 0.70 version is the best (dunno for which reasons). I didn't change my version (now there's 0.85 version). If you check all Bitcomet users, they often use 0.70.
5-6 months ago, I tried to update Bittornado but the installer contained a trojan (kaspersky told me there's a trojan) then I re-installed 0.3.7. Now, dunno if lastest version are safe or not...
