Hello Moinac,

Yeah there is SFEazureus, but I would not to call him stable.
Lot's of people are not able to install it correctly(including me) and
it has very strange dependency:

Requires: SFEeclipse

I guess that there are lot's of people which want torrent client, but don't
want to have installed Eclipse ... (and if they are using NetBeans,
the situation is much worse ... )

Regards,
Petr
