You can always use a copied link to the torrent then the Open Torrents option Add URL or Add from Clipboard to get the ability choose the files you want to download.
i recently came to the same conclusion, vuze sucks.
so i switched to transmission and haven't looked back since

I'm gonna go ahead and jump in on this one, too.
Damn, Vuze sucks. ...you'd think something with that many damned preference panes could be configured into something that didn't suck so much.

Vuze sucks!!!!!! I was using it today tryin to download some phish and it was taking FOREVER to load anything!! I kept on having to restert the app over and over again. Not only that, but it was hogging my internet too. I deleted it jsut now and never plan on using it again. Right now im using utorrent. god vuze SUCKS!
Vuze does suck, but you can disable it and use the regular Azureus setup.
Go into your preferences, and select mode, then choose Advanced under the user proficiency category, and hooray! You have a functional torrent application again.
Also, I recommend using BitTyrant. It's a modification of Azureus that improves performance and such.

I hate the Vuze UI too but for some reason it always seems to outperform Transmission in big downloads (ones with thousands of peers). Vuze just seems to connect to many more peers than Transmission. Which sucks cause I love Transmission and its UI.
the main reason is DHT is not implemented in Transmission, which Vuze does. By the way, you could always switch to utorrent if you want, fast and light weight.
Transmission works just fine for me. It is simple and straightforward, and gets the job done without all of the annoying stuff that went along with Vuze.
I know many people love uTorrent, too. I've not tried that one myself yet.

Do you get the option to choose where the torrent files as stored now and is the bug gone where if you delete the torrent file the data goes with it?
Yes you can choose where you want the files to download (mine go to the desktop).
And that bug that you listed isn't present anymore. I was deleting .torrent files today while they were downloading and nothing happened... The file continued to download.
I did the very same last week. I was a happy Azureus user for some two years but could not care less of this "Vuze platform".
Transmission is nice and simple, but from my observations its data performance does not match Vuze. In other words, it appears to download much slower. Can anyone confirm this?
I've heard people say that.
I too used to use Azureus (before all of this Vuze crap) BUT, my internet connection is a bit on the slow side so I haven't noticed a difference, and in fact Transmission might be just a smidge faster for me.
