You should be able to use Azureus with ease.

Azureus, seconded.

Make sure you set up port forwarding, if you have a home network or router.

I recently ditched Azureus for Transmission.

Much nicer, and much less of a CPU hog.

Has a really nice feature in letting you cut off seeding after a fixed upload ratio.

Trasmission for the light stuff, Azureus when I need fine tuning.
However I have my hopes up for uTorrent, it's an excellent client, currently for Windows only, on it's way to the Mac.

Cheers
