Try http://azureus.sourceforge.net/.  It is a great front-end for BT.  
It can manange multiple .torrent files and makes creating .torrents very
simple.  It is a Java app so runs on Linx/MS Windows/Mac.  It uses SWT
for the GUI (same as Eclipse) so it uses your native toolkit
(GTK+2/Win32) over the (IMO) ugly swing, is fast and light weight.
