Bittorrent not running well with Win7, what would be a good alternate Client?

I've used the original Bittorrent client ever since I've done torrent DL/UL

However, for some reason, the program has begun to fail me in Windows 7 (never had this problem with Windows 2000 nor Windows XP Pro). To troubleshoot, I've deleted old completed items out of the database hoping a purge would help. I don't see any utility to re-index or check the integrity of the DB.

The symptoms is the program just "bogs down" It begins to try to seed every torrent (over riding preferences) and because of the excessive connections it then will not download anything. I don't run DNA nor any other TSR other than the client. I run a schedule on the server (all BakaBT torrents are forced to allow 24/7 serving). Some times killing the program (and running Task manager to make sure it's gone out of memory) and restarting it works HOWEVER, If I ever use Pause or enable/disable Scheduler, the program flips out again.

All this said, I'm just getting tired of battling the program, wondering if it's working correctly, and then finding it not working. I'd like to move to another client and honestly I don't know what is the best option. I would like to be able to not have to redo all the torrents that I'm serving (but if I have to, then so be it).

Any suggestions or direction on this would be appreciated. If you have any idea on how to bring Bittorrent back into original shape, then I'm game. I've done unistall/resinstall, etc.

I apologize for my random post, I've been traveling and up for many hours. The O'l brain is fried.

Thanks

Try uTorrent, it looks and feels almost identical and is confirmed to work without glitches in Win7.
Although I haven't herd anyone having issues with Bittorrent in Win7 either yet.

Thanks and my apologies for posting in the wrong area.

I'll give uTorrent a shot and see how it goes.

That's because Bittorent Mainline owns utorrent. They don't look the same... they are the same. Aside from a few minor things.

Thus I used almost... I know, just felt no need to go into detail. ;)
