Azureus is for advanced users, it does not automatically limit your bandwidth, and you need to limit your upload when you use it. As for memory use, java is not bad; a lot of people badmouth it with out having a clue. Being based off of java makes it easy to code plugins, and a wide variety of plugins are available for it. In addition, bit torrent is very rough on your network, and some network devices cannot handle that many connections. I’ve had some routers and some Network Cards cannot do it, they grind to a halt after a few minutes.
Set your max upload to 66% of your upload, and adjust it as necessary. I have charter at home, 3,000 kbps down, 250 kbps up. Before installed my packet shaper, my max upload was set to 160 kbps, and I had about a 250ms of lag when opening a webpage, but games were unplayable. Now that I have a packet shaper installed, I have my max upload set to 200 kbps and I feel no lag when I browse the web and only have a slight bit of lag with games, (increase of about 15ms latency). In both instances I have many torrents going at the same time (18 now, normaly more than 20, all active) and I still manage to fill my up and down pipe. Since you don’t have a packet shaper, set your max upload to 66% of your maximum upload, this will clear up your problems.
