Azureus won't stay open

On my Ubuntu machine (Edgy), for some reason Azureus only stays open for about 3 or 4 seconds and then it closes. It's very strange. It worked for a little while, but one day it decided to close, and it's never worked since :( Any ideas?

<--- still a Linux n00b... I just don't have the time to learn it properly. :(

you could try updating your JRE and downloading the latest Azureus... I hear version 3 beta is out!

If it used to work and now it doesn't try clearning any settings it has created.

rm -rf ~/.azureus

Or some similar folder. I've never used... don't even know what it is, but that's generally what I try if something breaks.

apps often put hidden folders in your home directory - it's the Linux equivalent to the application data folder in XP. Most (if not all) user config / settings / app data will be stored in that folder, removing it is usually the first suggestion when debugging an app since it restores the app state to its "fresh install" config.

if you don't want to lose the config you could try renaming the folder first.

Maybe you could run uTorrent via wine? it's EXTREMELY fast!

Try running Azureus from a console and see if it gives any errors in the console when it closes.
