	Java with a GUI.   Even more resources munched.  Yum!
But in spite of that, I do like Azureus if I'm using a desktop.

	One of these days, I am going to try libbt or any other C-based
BitTorrent implementation to see if it's a little bit lighter on the  
memory
footprint.  If anyone has used them before or knows of any place that
has a comparison of memory/CPU usage for different BitTorrent clients
I'd like to hear about that.
