jls legalize, have you tried azureus under dsl? I did get azureus to work in DSL, although I never needed to change ports you can see it under the tools->options->connections menu.
Load these three dsl extensions first:
jre1_5_0.tar.gz gtk2.dsl <-- remember to run Update to GTK2 in the mydsl menu gnu-utils.dsl
Next, you need to download the swt (Standard Widget Toolkit) from eclipse. I got it from http://www.eclipse.org/platform/ (the file was called swt-3.0.2-linux-gtk.zip) and unzipped it to a directory I called Azzy. Then I downloaded the Azureus jar from sourceforge.net and put it into my Azzy directory as well. I cd to the azzy directory and the following bash file ran Azureus from that directory:
Code Sample | #!/bin/bash export PATH=$PATH:/opt/jre1_5_0/bin export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jre1_5_0 java -cp swt.jar:swt-pi.jar:Azureus2.3.0.4.jar -Djava.library.path=./ org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main

You biggest problem is that some torrent sharers want to see an azueus client. I read on the Wikipedia that:
Quote | Azureus version 2.3.0.0 introduced the Distributed Database function (a form of DHT), which is an expansion of the BitTorrent protocol, making it more independent from trackers. This allows for a torrent where the original tracker is down or very slow to get peer data (and eventually download the files) from other peers that are using Azureus 2.3.0.0 or newer. The downside to this is private trackers, where membership is required, that do not want non-members downloading their torrents are required to alter their torrents so the Azureus client knows not to share peer information about that swarm. Some critics also say that this is simply 'reinventing the wheel,' refering to earlier peer-to-peer protocols and programs which BitTorrent was praised for filling in the weaknesses of. Others see it as an evolution of the BitTorrent protocols. Azureus uses its own form of DHT incompatble with Bram Cohen's BitTorrent or BitComet
