Vuze 5.7.6.0 (formerly Azureus)

Vuze (formerly Azureus) is a Java-based BitTorrent client. It supports multiple torrent downloads, queuing and priority systems (for torrents and files), start/stop seeding options, and provides instant access to various details about your torrents.

The application also includes an embedded tracker that is easy to set up and ready to use. Vuze connects to the BitTorrent network and allows you to host your torrents and automate your shares (with periodic directory scanning). It supports 27 languages.

Vuze is designed to perform better than other file transfer protocols as more people show interest in a specific file. The program supports multiple torrent downloads, upload and download speed limits, and uses only one port for all torrents. It can also automatically import torrents from a designated directory.

Vuze Features:

Downloading Features

• Swarm Merging to complete torrents that do not have all the available bits, and to speed up downloading.
• Rate limiting can be applied globally, by download, tag, peer set (e.g., peers from a specific country), network (public/I2P), and down to individual peers. Overall capacity limits are also supported to work with ISP limits. Limits can also be scheduled by time of day etc.
• WebTorrent support – Vuze can download and see WebTorrent peers. There is also a built-in WebTorrenn tracker.

Control Features

• Robust settings. If you want control over it, there’s likely a setting available!
• Remote controlling via Web URL, or Android app (any Android app that supports the Transmission RPC will do, but we recommend our Vuze Remote, of course).

Organization, Discovery, and Social Features

• Tags and Categories. It also lets you set share ratios, file locations, speed limits, and more for a group of torrents.
• Meta-search, with the ability to add and create custom site templates
• Swarm Discoveries which lists torrents that other people have downloaded along with the torrents you download.
• Tag Discovery to discover what other users have tagged content with. This can be very helpful before deciding to download the content.
• Subscriptions to RSS feeds as well as search results. You can also create your subscription feed to share with others.
• Ratings and comments were decentralized. You can view them before the torrent is added to Vuze.
