Azureus is your typical Java RAM hogger. It's a nice client with lots of
good plugins (and really good ones are in short supply on Linux), but it
just horrible for RAM.

The only way I've found to make it tolerable (just) on my 512Mb machine is
to set it up the way I like it using the GUI first:

1. autoscan a directory and autoimport any torrent files found there.

2. Set up firefox to save torrent files in that directory

3. Set up the RSS feed plugin to autodownload stuff I want, when it
appears.

4. Run Azureus headless: java -jar azureusjarfile.jar --ui=console

That makes it bearable... but dear lord... someone somewhere needs to slap
some sense in the Java designers.
