Vuze (formerly Azureus) is a Java based BitTorrent client that offers multiple torrent downloads, queuing/priority systems (on torrents and files), start/stop seeding options and instant access to numerous pieces of information about your torrents. It also features an embedded tracker that is easily set up and ready to use. Vuze connects to the BitTorrent network. BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer protocol designed to transfer files. Users connect directly to send and receive portions of a file, while a central tracker coordinates the action of all peers and manages connections without knowledge of the contents of the files being distributed. With BitTorrent, users upload at the same time they download, so network bandwidth is managed as efficiently as possible. BitTorrent is designed to work better than other file-transfer protocols as the number of people interested in a certain file increases. Vuze supports for 27 languages.
Features of “Vuze”:
• Multiple torrent downloads
• Upload and download speed limiting, both globally and per torrent
• Advanced seeding rules
• Adjustable disk cache
• Only uses one port for all the torrents
• UPnP sets the forward on your router
• Can use a proxy, for both tracker and peer communications
• Fast resume
• Can set a default download dir and move completed files
• Can import torrents automatically from a set dir
• Highly customizable interface
• IRC plugin included for quick help
• Embedded tracker, host your own torrents, automate your shares (periodic scanning of a dir)…
• Distributed Hash Table: host on it a completely decentralised torrent and/or benefit from it when the tracker is offline.
• Play back your PC hard drive content on your iPhone, iPod, iPad, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PSP, and TiVo.
• Vuze can play virtually any type of video file on full screen HD (720p or 1080p) – AVI, XVID, Quicktime, and more.
• Vuze is giving wings to your collection of HD video. Watch them on all your screens – PC, Mobile, and TV.
Many useful plugins are available:
* Auto-adjustment of your upload and download speeds according to your network charge with Autospeed
* Auto-download torrents with RSS Feed Scanner
* Schedule upload and download speed limits with Speed Scheduler
* Receive a mail when a download finishes with Status Mailer
* Add numerous info on torrents (Extra seeding columns, Country Locator)
* Remote control Azureus through the Swing Web Interface or the HTML Web Interface

absolutely better than world most popular torrent client utorrent,,
VUZE is da best torrent client made ever,never b4,never again
i tested bitcomet,utorrent and finally vuze.now i wil give my review acc to my experience(note:i tested with same torrent at same time,ports forwarded for these 3 clients while testing)
1.bitcomet – of all these bitcomet is da fastest downloader even it grasps very less number of seeds when compared to utorrent and vuze but worst part of bitcomet is its downloads are very unstable ,and other client users and private trackers ban it while downloading and bitcomet takes lots of time to download a file even if its da fastest downloader
2.utorrent – i know this is da world leading one but acc my experience its slowest downloader among the 3 which i tested and light weight one.grasps more number of seeds when compared to bitcomet.comlpetes downloading a given file quickly than bitcomet even its slowest one
3.VUZE – and finally vuze.this is da BEST torent client acc my tests(i am not argiuing with others opinions).it almost reaches da download speeds of bitcomet and grasps more number of seeds and had lots of exclusive options and features which are absent both in bitcomet and utorrent and stood ALWAYS first to complete downloads when compared with bitcomet n utorrent
acc to my tests,results : first place goes to VUZE absolutely
and da worst is bitcomet ,utorrent is better than bitcomet.this acc to my experience(not arguiung with others opinion,its my individual opinion only),thats all thank u
hey try to get a count on bitcomet a goooood rank (EXP points) & redo your test body
INSTALLATION OF 4.7.1.0 MAY DELETE YOUR CURRENT TORRENT LISTS. FINISH THEM BEFORE INSTALL AS CAN’T SEE ANY BACKUP OPTION
For security reasons, I’m staying away from anything that requires java stalled on my system.
Java will open your system to attacks.
