The key with Azureus on a Mac is to use the "Classic Interface". Using the newer "Fisher Price" interface does make it slow down and is a processor hog. The only way I know of to change to "Classic Interface" is to widen the window and on the top right a UI with Blue Arrows appears. Select Classic Interface and restart Vuse.

When you click a torrent you can select the files you want. Since you already use Vuse the Classic Interface will come really easy. It's also easy to set up a Private Tracker securely.

I've tried just about all the of the Mac Clients/Servers and Vuse is great in "Classic Mode"... I can't make sense out of the Vuse mode.
