However, it seems that even with bandwidth throttled to a low level (25 or 50 KB/s) on the bittorrent client, it seems to overwhelm my network. I am using a Linksys WRT54G with the DD-WRT firmware. At this point, I am not sure if this is an Azureus problem or a if the router is just overwhelmed by the amount of network activity. I suspect the latter, but this is really just my gut feeling at this point. I have updated to the latest version of DD-WRT last night, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet. Anyone have thoughts on using Azureus on OS X (10.4.8 intel)? Any suggestions on OS X clients that support RSS? Overall, I don't like the Azureus client, as it seems to be slow and unresponsive. It seems to hang ocassionally and it is a bear to kill the process. I am going to try Bitcomet this weekend as well. The other reason I say 'I think' it is working is because the client hasn't downloaded anything automatically yet. The RSS plugins I am using, seem to load the feed, and then grab any thing new that matches the filter rule. The only shows I wanted to download were 'The Colbert Report' and 'The Daily Show'. Neither of these shows have been on this week. I'll have to test a news program this weekend to give it a try. I got it working (I think) using Azureus.
