Try http://azureus.sourceforge.net/. It is a great front-end for BT. It can manange multiple .torrent files and makes creating .torrents very simple. It is a Java app so runs on Linx/MS Windows/Mac. It uses SWT for the GUI (same as Eclipse) so it uses your native toolkit (GTK+2/Win32) over the (IMO) ugly swing, is fast and light weight.
I'm using Azurues both on Linux and Win. I wouldn't call it light-weight exactly. it takes a huge foorprint in terms of memory..
Running top
I see SIZE = 224M RSS = 30M SHARE = 49844 %MEM = 6.1 % (of my 512MB RAM)
SO.. at 30MB, it's not exactly lightweight. I see bout the same memory usage in WIndows too.
But hey, I like azureus.
