You have to put a link to the java plugin into your browser's plugin 
directory.

For mozilla, link 
'/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so' 
to 
'/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins'

You may have to adjust the first path for your jre version and compiler.

Also, add '/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/bin' to your $PATH by putting a line like 
this in your ~.bashrc file:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/bin

'Azureus' is the most nice-looking and feature-rich client I have seen, but it 
is written in Java (which you are having problems with, and has stopped 
working for me too!)

Currently, I use the Linux 'Bittornado' client: 
<http://bittornado.com/download.html>

It has all the necessairy features (including selecting individual files to 
download), but is not as intuitive as Azureus. However, this is probably my 
recommendation.
