Not bad at all - Version: 4.2.0.2, 5/22/2009 02:50PM PST

I've tried a whole bunch of Bittorrent clients for the Mac, including Tomato Torrent, Bits on Wheels, uTorrent, Transmission and a couple of others I can't recall, switching from client to client as problems arose. When I read that Vuze was supposedly faster because it got more peers, I scoffed. But it seems to be true. I was using Transmission for a torrent and barely downloaded 500MB over four nights, usually getting one peer and no seeds. Frustrated, I turned to Vuze for the same torrent. Within four hours, I had 500MB of data from three seeds and two peers. Four overnights (14 hours each) vs. 4 hours. No contest! And it's not very resource intensive, either. My CPU meter on a single core Atom netbook running OS X (nice low power consumption machine for extended downloading) only shows about 20% CPU utilization. It's also eating about 200MB of RAM, about the same as Safari as I type this. Not too shabby.
Excellent software!

Vuze is excellent. It is simple to operate, efficient, fairly intuitive. You have several interface options to choose from, which is very nice, especially for the less advanced users. When compared to Transmission, Vuze wins hands down. I have seen people - including myself - trying both programmes and all of them, no exceptions, finally lost patience with Transmission, one of the clumsiest pieces of software I have ever had the displeasure of trying (FYI, I have been computing heavily since 1989). I just deinstalled it because I had no use for it, whereas there is much use for Vuze :-)
One thing must be clear: you DO NOT have to install the Vuze Toolbar. It is but an option. Other than that Vuze is as good and unobtrusive a programme as it gets. In my opinion it has set standards by which other BitTorrent clients should be judged. While I sympathise with people using clients other than Vuze, I think the latter provides unmatched ease of use and, consequently, great comfort.
Again, great, time-saving software. Highly recommended.

cinthiamac "I don't wanna work this hard" says it all!
While I respect your view but it still does not answer the claim that Vuse gets more peers which translates to more than TWICE the speed.
The bottom line is that there's nothing that can match Vuze for the number of peers and download speed and you can achieve this by just running the application as is and not working hard at all.
