Top plugins for Azureus power-users

Not to be a nag, while I think Azureus is great, many of those plugins, as Simon Cowell would put it, are like 'so what?'. Azureus already wops memory usage. I could only imagine that some of the plugins slow your computer down even more. 3D View of peers? Um, ok? A Firefox extension to tell you the current status of your torrents? As if we need Firefox AND Azureus hogging the memory down. I don't care about what's going on behind the scenes, I just want my file. While it may be cool to a super-advanced, must-know-everything geek, it's just really not needed.

uTorrent is great in that it's small, effecient, non-memory hogging, and it has 2 rich features. An integrated RSS Downloader (no plugin required) AND an integrated Speed Scheduler (again, no plugin required) that's simple to use. Also, the Speed Guide is great for those who aren't computer saavy that want to maintain maximum speeds.

In my opinion, while Azureus may have the 'popularity' vote in terms of downloads (it was released much earlier than uTorrent), uTorrent is a clear-cut winner in terms of ease of use and memory management.
