Recommend a Windows BitTorrent client that will auto-start torrents dropped into a certain folder?

Q. I've seen this feature in a few Linux clients... Can anyone recommend a *Windows* based BitTorrent client that will periodically scan a certain folder for new torrent files and start downloading them if they show up?

A. Both Vuze and uTorrent will do that.

Info for Vuze (under "Best Way"):

In uTorrent, at Options>Preferences>Directories - "Automatically load torrents from"

How can I download stuff using a torrent at university?
Q. Basically I'm studying at university and I would like to download stuff using Vuze and i have a straight ethernet connection to my computer from the wall. University currently blocks anything being downloaded via Vuze and my room mates have similar problems using utorrent and bit torrent is there any way of going about this?

A. Yeah, stick to non P2P downloads. Universities often block that traffic because they can get in trouble because of students downloading copyrighted things.
If the thing you're looking for is not a commercial, copyrighted product that you'd normally buy (i.e. a Linux disto), consider going to the actual website to download it.
If you're trying to download music, movies, software, etc. illegally, consider actually buying the product instead.
