I tried official client some time ago (it was my first experience with 
BitTorrent) and leave it behind. Now I'm using Azureus. On Linux, I mean.
Official BitTorrent client is really simple and a bit hard to use. And 
because of those swt problems on Solaris, Azureus also doesn't seem 
suitable for me. Azureus is also a bit much memory greedy.
So my vote goes to rtorrent (which was already mentioned) or could it be 
a new Firefox plug-in FoxTorrent? http://www.foxtorrent.com/
