It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

Why are you so adverse to using a Java-based client like Azureus? Unless you've got a really crappy computer you shouldn't have any problems whatsoever, I've used it for the last year and more and never found it killed performance in any noticable way.

Its the fact that i refuse to install java on my machine.. has nothing to do with performance..

Ahhhhh okay, I can see that, according to AVG I had some supposedly infected archives make their way onto my computer a few times, it was only a case of manual deletion though. Never really found any issue with that since running Windows update though, not had a peep from it about any viruses for a while.

But whatever floats your boat :)

I've had Azureus/Java for over a year now. Still have yet to see a virus show up.

I never used to have virus problems, until they started popping up a few times in java files. Uninstalled that POS after it happened the 2nd time. Not had issues in 6 months.

Only Java app I still use is Limewire...only one that is worth the risk imo. It sucks for everything that's not a .mp3 though, but as far as music goes it's teh win!

Cabos, is better then Limewire imo. I really don't like java, it always seems slugish even with Limewire and Cabos.

I used Burst! but then switched to Azureus, much better. You can try Burst! though, its not java.

Aye, best damn OS X BT client ever. FOr Windows, its Azureus or nothing. The fact you won't install java because of the potential for a virus is saddening, especially for someone using a browser based on the IE core, the king of swiss cheese security.
