Another thing that happens is when I have downloaded
openSUSE-10.3-GM-DVD-i386.iso, it does the check and decides that it
is not complete, while an FTP tells me it is, and so does the MD5SUM

Any ideas what is going on?

Yes. You're having a bad day !! LOL ;-)

(sorry, couldn't help myself....)

Are you getting this from the Azureus website or is this an rpm
package ?
I downloaded the newest version from the website and just did a
'./azureus'
and it ran fine on 10.3... Downloaded a movie without problem.
Perhaps you should launch from terminal and see what it says.

Azureus is running. It is 3.0.4.5_B04 and want to do an update to
3.0.4.2. So it downloads it, and then decides it want to restart. Does
so and then decides it wants to upgrade to 3.0.4.2, download it and
restarts and ....

Also the check of each file I download fails now and it starts to
re-download and then fails again.

Starting from a terminal does not show anything remotely looking like
an error. Also the logfile does not give me anything.

Must be the way you held your mouth when updating. I got into the same
goatrope updating on a 10.2 machine - just one, the other 3 went as
expected. I gave up, uninstalled Azureus, then installed the latest
version. Subsequent updates went well, so who knows?

BTW, the uninstall/reinstall process took a lot less time than I had
already wasted trying to fix the original.

The quirkiness of Azureus always felt to me like a java program in waaaay over its head and although it's
a tweaker's paradise for torrents, I don't see what it functionally or practically accomplishes that you
can't get from more efficient programs. The most important thing I see in using these types of progs is
the Peer Guardian Filter.

So, dine and dash with something different. Take the free hour you get from not configuring Azureus and
do something constructive while Ktorrent finishes your download in the background. Scope the girlies at
lunchtime, grab a workout at the gym, etc.

Cheers.
