Shadow's http://bt.degreez.net/
Azureus http://azureus.sourceforge.net/
ABC http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/
Torrentstorm http://torrentstorm.com

These are all good clients.
Shadow's is probably the easiest to use and Azureus has the most features.
Both ABC and Torrentstorm are built upon shadow's and bring all the torrents into one window.

A little tip before you switch over though. Try restarting Shareaza and see if it downloads the last bit

If I were you, I would use Azureus or ABC. But if you're worried about speed, then try Azureus. Much more customizability can yield higher speeds. Match it to your system needs.

BTW, this is the link to TorrentStorm (http://torrentstorm.com/)
It's an excellent client, but not the greatest on system resources. I think ABC is the kindest on system resources.

Be careful with resuming d/ls which aren't originally from Azureus with it though.
Azureus sometimes won't recognize averything and you end up downloading a part again.

But Azureus is still the best client in my opinion.

Yeah, this first time I tried Azureus was when I was continuing a dload from TorrentStorm, and it wasn't very encouraging. They were almost done and they started all over again, and my CPU usage was at a constant MAX. Later I tried it with a fresh download and I checked out the latest CVS release, and everything is woeking fine.

OH, and version 2.0.7.0 was released. Plenty of improvements
