Try Frostwire out. http://www.frostwire.com/index.php?title=Main_Page
I have tested it and its pretty sweet. Just install the Java Runtime enviroments from apt-get and youll be good to go.
Sorry I cant get Azureus to work either.
Cheers,

Re: breezy against P2P

The azureus version i got from the repo's didn't work for me either, maybe because it is outdated? It was continually asking me whether I wanted to do an update but nothing really changed when I did the update.
in the end I found a .deb for the latest version at
http://saens.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/a/azureus/

and that one got p2p working again!

hope that works

Limewire works the same as ever for me. I used aptitude for the upgrade to 5.10.

Re: breezy against P2P

Two applications I miss in Linux is Ares (A nice P2P program) and babylon translator. I'm happy that wine can run Ares just like if I'm in windows. I hadn't installed/used any other p2p application except Ares.

What is frostwire, and what is limewire. They look the same to me??

Re: breezy against P2P

From the Frostwire.com website:

Current status of the FrostWire project
We are busy building a website and creating a new design for the FrostWire Gnutella client. Since LimeWire (http://www.limewire.com/) is a registered trademark we cannot distribute the client under its old name. For that reason, we are looking for creative p2p fans that would like to create skins, design logos or websites. However we are also trying to get more people working on the Java core, the interface and the C++ windows installer (based on GnucDNA (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gnucleus/) and NSIS (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/nsis/)). If you are interested in maintaining LimeWire's legacy get involved!

FrostWire and LimeWire
We are trying to maintain good relations to the LimeWire project. The FrostWire team (all of whom are still members of the LimeWire open-source community) regrets LimeWire's decision to start filtering content on Gnutella. However, we will continue supporting LimeWire development and do not wish to make fundamental changes to the LimeWire core itself. FrostWire will not break with LimeWire's design philosophy.

FrostWire however, will never offer a PRO version. The FrostWire project will always remain strictly non-profit and free of any bundled software, including any ads or nags.

Hope this helps..
Google is a wonderful thing..

Cheers,
Joey

Azureus is working, at last.

sudo update-alternatives --config java

is the magic formula
