If you're looking for a super lightweight client, rtorrent is pretty awesome.  By itself, it's all operated through a terminal, though.  Getting used to it takes a while, but it's really nice when you do.  I has XMLRPC support and I think there are a few clients (some are even web-based) that make use of that.
rtorrent is awesome. :)

It sure is!  I was able to get a pretty sweet torrent setup going using it, vmware and a bit of perl.

For lightness, µTorrent is definitely the winner for Windows. BitRocket seems to be the lighweightiest for OSX.

However, if you've only switched because of the crap they added with Vuze, as rabbit said, you can disable that. I won't be at all shocked if they end up disabling it by default in future versions, because of the amount of people that have stopped using it due to the confusion. I'd definitely say give it another shot; it hasn't actually gotten any more bloaty than it ever was, as long as you turn of Vuze.

After seeing how fast µTorrent is, I have no reason to go back to classic Azureus.

I use a combination of KTorrent and Azureus on linux.  Any torrents I want to just download and not seed, I use KTorrent.  Any torrents I plan on seeding/or am downloading from a private tracker and care about my share ratio, I use Azureus.
I tend to edit my topics and replies frequently.

µTorrent ftw. I run it in WINE.

I run microTorrent on my laptop, 200MHz processor, 64MB RAM. VERY efficient.

By the way, is it moo or mew?

You might be right about that, Joe.

I've always heard it pronounced "mew", although I'd imagine people from other regions pronounce it differently.

I think you're more about spelling things incorrectly than pronouncing them differently. :P
