Here are some key features of "SKaz":
Graphical progress bar with ability to Start/Stop/Remove downloads
Displays ETA for downloads and upload rate for seeds
Displays Total Download/upload rate for Azureus
Clicking on the health icon of a torrent shows more detailed information, as well as basic controls
Clicking the torrent name opens the downloaded file/dir in your preferred application. You must enable "Use generic classes" under advanced settings in the configuration of the XML over HTTP plugin (needs Azureus 2.4.0.0 and PyKDE)
