Well, four years later the “I’m sure those are coming” part seems more and more deceptive. I’ve waited way too much for simple, extremely intuitive features targeting users like me who want to manage hundreds of torrents.

Azureus is not that slow. Vuze is no more opensource. Azureus code inside remains GPL. Azureus is almost the one to run in 64Bit native on Vista ( with JRE x64 and SWT x64 not included in installation ). And if you install mlDHT you will have both Mainline DHT ( bitcomet, bittorent, utorrent and others ) and the AzDHT ( Azureus specific DHT ) with PEX support for all clients. It’s also one of the most advanced torrent client in the encryption domain. So yes Vuze (formerly Azureus) take more memory and more CPU cycles than others first class torrent client but is much more powerful and multiplatform because of java.

Azureus is open source. uTorrent is closed source. You cannot be sure what the developers will put in there! (DRM protection, tracking, etc?). Downloading speeds are about the same. Azureus uses more resources because it’s Java-based.

I still like Azureus more. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems to connect to peers and download stuff faster.

Well, I still like Azureus more myself. It seems to download stuff faster, or maybe it’s just me?

utorrent is closed source. sure they aren’t keeping data on you? And now that utorrent is owned by BitTorrent, Inc, do you know that they are trying daily to get into bed with the same content companies that love the RIAA/MPAA so much.

How easy it is to get people to sell out – make a “better” product that calls home and gives them everything they need to know to put you down.

# A single binary, no other files – that’s not correct. utorrent needs files in appdata/utorrent
# Fully-automated upgrade process not correct. fully automated means no input from user. You gotta click the upgrade button ;-) AzCVSUpdater for Azureus is truely fully automated.
When you were using Azureus, you obviously didn’t use AzCVSUpdater, ScaneRSS, SpeedScheduler or any of the extra plugins that extend Az’s functionality even further. And you didn’t even mention seeding, something utorrent is terrible at.
Perhaps you should change your description to – the best bittorrent client for non-seeders :-0

Does anyone know why azureus is the only client that manages to connect through my company’s firewall – ok it’s not fast (30Kbs max d/l) and I never get a green connection – always yellow or blue but at least it works. I can’t configure any of the other clients, including utorr, to work.

Any ideas?

If you can’t decide between the two them, why not use both, and at the same time, thats what I’m doing now. open the .torrent file in both clients but assign them the same download location, see what happens, compare the speeds of Azureus and utorrent for the same torrent, that’ll help you decide which one to keep and which one to get rid off.

This is quite late but here it is.

I have to agree.uTorrent is looking more and more desirable right now. I’ve had it with Azureus. Too damned slow!

Buddy, thanks!!

I agree Utorrent is the best. I used to use Ares Galaxy but I found it to be a bullshit freeware. Now I can link all types of files from Limwire, Ares, Emule, torrents with one software (Utorrent!!) Thanks!!

If your asking how I did it, I have a bin file witch my uncle gave to me (He works in ATI so yeah he has all sorts of softwares!!)
