Azureus experiences the typical Java problem.  I could not get anything 
to happen for quite some time until I realized that the Java runtime was 
spending all of its time waiting for something to happen in the IPv6 
connections it was trying to open.  I had to completely remove IPv6 from 
the kernel.  Once I did that, Azureus magically started working.

There is something major broken in the Java runtime hwich causes 
everything to stop whenever you try to open an IPv6 connection.  Remove 
IPV6 from the kernel, and everything works.  When and if you ever get 
real IPv6 connections in your machine, things might actualy work.  For 
now, just remove it and move on.
