Azurez uses WAY TOO MUCH resources, it often crashes and uses A TON of ram.

Very true, infact, if you watch the task manager you'l notice that every second or so the RAM increases slightly. I got it to go from about 30MB to 150MB over the course of the night.

Bit Comet for me.

When i did torrent, BitComet was the best for me. I couldn't even open port's on my router or configure it correctly, and bitcomet still worked good for me. the others i tried always sent back errors/counldn't connect/were very slow.

When i get back to torrenting i'll probly use BitComet again if nothing new is worth a try.

utorrent is what I use. I used to use Azereus, (nice prog) but way too much CPU usage. Utorrent is very small on resources and does a great job.

i think it comes down to whether you want to control your torrents or use less system resources. If you want more control then Azeurus. But if you want a light program then bit Comet or uTorrent.

But in the end it all comes down to you opening up the right ports, setting your upload to 80% of your max upload and what the tracker/seed combination is.

I am using a belkin router and i port forwarded and got a massive speed boost. It doesn't always work (tried on a friends pc) and i was getting 150kbs.

I find 50% is the most efficient

I use BitTornado. It usually works for me, no errors or anything. Happy with it, uses hardly any resources, and is easy to setup/configure (I didn't even have to set anything up).
