Product Description:

Azureus brings the popular Java-based BitTorrent client to a new level of stability, usability, and speed. Very actively developed, this latest version includes a new split-window MyTorrents view with support for categories and advanced downloading / seeding / queuing rules for powerful and automated torrent management, a customizable user interface, seeding from read-only media, and significant reductions in resource usage.

The multiplatform Azureus client greatly extends the original python client's feature set, with: managing multiple downloads at once from a single GUI window, detailed real-time download statistics with export to XML, advanced download and seeding management rules, configuration and torrent creation wizards, embedded tracker for easy and automated hosting of your own files, PeerGuardian IP address filtering, web browser and console UIs, 27 available languages, a powerful plugin interface, and much much more.

This is still the BEST BitTorrent client by FAR. Others try but nothing comes close to it!

Even though the list of fixes make it seem like it were the bee's knees, it insists on keeping the same bland and useless startup screen.

You may indeed opt out of the Vuze Toolbar. However, when installing the wording it puts up makes you think you're rejecting the EULA, instead of just opting out of the toolbar. Beware.

Still bad news... - Version: 4.3.0.2, 11/20/2009 06:47AM PST
