Azureus Vuze (formerly Azureus) is a BitTorrent client. Like other BitTorrent clients, it is used to transfer files over the BitTorrent Peer-to-peer File sharing network. In other words, it is used to download files that other people have made available. Azureus is written in the programming language Java. Java programs often use more resources than programs written in other languages. However, Java also allows programs written in it to be run on many different operating systems. In 2003, the core developers of Azureus formed a company called Vuze, Inc. (formerly Azureus, Inc.) Vuze, Inc. offers legal downloads of content over the BitTorrent network. The program's logo is the Blue Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates azureus). The Azureus name was given to the project by co-creator Tyler Pitchford, who uses the Latin names of poison dart frogs as codenames for his development projects. Azureus was first released in June 2003 at SourceForge.net, mostly to experiment with the Standard Widget Toolkit from Eclipse. It is now one of the most popular BitTorrent clients.[2] Released under the GNU General Public License, Azureus is free software.   [edit]

      Much better than uTorrent...
      ajaxer

      I actually switched to this from uTorrent. I just don't trust that utility any more. It took a little while to come to grips with all of the options that Azureus offers, but now that I have it configured just right, I'm quite happy with this utility.

      Powerful and very configurable
      osafw

      Azureus is multiplatform cause it is in Java. It is extensible using plugins and also has numerous options. What makes it a great p2p client is its feature set and configurable options. Most closed source p2p clients usually are loaded with adwares and trojans which is the worst thing to fall for. A bit heavy on the system, it makes up for this with its performance which is excellent.
