    Such as?

    A quick google revealed an app called Connect 360.

    IMO the unix idea of having one program to do one task well makes a lot of sense.

    /edit: Rivet also does a somilar thing.

    Admittedly I haven't been able to find a free or open source program for it yet.

    That will cost you about $20 I think, whereas Vuze is freeware.

    If you wish to pay $20 to keep the Unix ideal pure, be my guest, but I will happily use Vuze and suffer the hit to my Karma.

    If you use Firefox you can get an add-on called FireTorrent, i have found it very good.
