uTorrent works fine for me (V1.6). You can use Peer guardian, apart from that its a no no.

There is no actual proof that µtorrent isn't safe, It's just some of us are wary when a program download site associated with p2p software lists as an RIAA affiliated site.

Azureus uses a plugin called safepeer, which is the same thing as peer guardian. On a cable connection you cannot ever be anonymous, they (your ISP) can always sniff your connection and find out what you are doing.
Use encryption, then it's just too much trouble for them to usually be bothered, but if they get suspicious they can and do block certain ports and limit your upload bandwidth, effectively shutting you out.
