Try http://azureus.sourceforge.net/. It is a great front-end
for BT.
It can manange multiple .torrent files and makes creating
.torrents very
simple. It is a Java app so runs on Linx/MS Windows/Mac. It uses SWT
for the GUI (same as Eclipse) so it uses your native toolkit
(GTK+2/Win32) over the (IMO) ugly swing, is fast and light weight.
I'm using Azurues both on Linux and Win. I wouldn't call it
light-weight exactly. it takes a huge foorprint in terms of memory..
Running top
I see
SIZE = 224M
RSS = 30M
SHARE = 49844
%MEM = 6.1 % (of my 512MB RAM)
SO.. at 30MB, it's not exactly lightweight. I see bout the same memory
usage in WIndows too.
But hey, I like azureus.
