    Not sure where your problem is, but did you check the output of 
"iptables -L" are ports 6881-6889 opened for tcp?
    The only thing I did for iptables was to open the system 
settings-->security level and add 6881:tcp, 6881:udp to the Other ports box.
    If the iptables are o.k. find a .torrent in Firefox.  when you click 
on a link FF will ask what you want to do with the ".torrent" file use 
the "browse" box to make Firefox use the Azureus program hit the O.K. 
button. 
    All should work fine, if not, write back and tell me what version of 
java you use, or start Azureus in the terminal and look for errors in 
the printout.
