Why? It's very resource efficient (only uses about 7 MB, and works great for me. 40MB?, regular shell never goes past 25, not excatly an improvement imo
Nero Burning Rom under Pirate? wtf. Nero sucks, if you try to burn a cd album half the time the end result is crap; songs end up skipping. I stopped using Nero because of that, i use iTunes or WMP to burn cds now. As for Azureus, its a friggin memory hog its also uses java inwhich also i think contributes to hogging the memory. I now use BitLord 300x better than Azureus, it barely uses any memory, fast and reliable. For ripping movies onto a dvd (with dvd quality) i know use CloneDvd, no more out of sync crap the picture quality is awesome alot better compared to Nero. well thats just my two cents
