Vuze (formerly Azureus) is a Java-based BitTorrent client, and a media content streaming network. It is free software and runs under Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and Unix. Vuze enables users to find content easily offering not only an embedded torrent meta-search but access to the Vuze HD Network where users have access to thousands of HD and non-HD content.

The software also enables users to publish their own content and have it streamed and become accessible through the Vuze HD Network.

Version 4.0 boasts some exciting changes, among which is a redesign of the GUI.

Is this worth the switch from uTorrent, it certainly looks exciting. Since my recent switch to Vista, uTorrent locks up everytime I close it... so I'm thinking I need an alternative, opinions?

Stop closing it. You must seed 24/7 it's the law.

uTorrent and Vuze (nee Azureus) users were always sort of opposite ends of the spectrum. Azureus was a big and heavy but extremely well-featured client, while uTorrent catered to people more concerned about resource usage than a full toolbox.

Personally, I've been an Azureus/Vuze fan since before they went commercial (and with the classic interface since). Time will tell if this is a good evolutionary step, or further invasion from the commercial side of things.

Are you running torrents on a 15 year old computer?

All my torrents are downloaded with a P3 with 1gig of sdram and it has no problems at all with Azureus/Vuze

Azureus was a pretty decent client. They totally ruined it when they switched to Vuze. When I would use Vuze v.3x it would crash every few minutes. I switched to uTorrent and haven't looked back.

azureus is a memory hog wheras utorrent is very lightweight, also because it uses java thats why it's a memory hog.
