I have to say, it is not all that great if you want to covert to DVD to use on your DVD Player. I know that is not what they advertise (100%) It is slow to say the least and the $700.00 of free software is a joke and is mostly FREEWARE that does not work. Frostwire brings you Trojans. The converting tool does not work either and even on the web. most say the same. So really if you want to just download and use on your laptop or PC fine. Otherwise it is better to get FREE Ares and buy ConvertX2DVD and it is better.

The techs. at Vuze just keep telling you to download all kinds of stuff which doesn't work as stated. Then when you keep asking they IGNORE you completely! Believe me there are better ways to spend your money! it is a very dissapointing service to say the least!

Freedom of speech isn't limited. Watch the episode of Penn & Teller's Bullshit about freedom of speech. I know 6 month old comment but it pissed me the FUCK off. :)

Sorry to burst your bubble, but 1024 kb/sec ain't 10 megabit.

By the way...
Anybody know why this site wants to install a Explorer Plugin that required Root approval?
Seems suspect to me, but I'm that kind of person.
Good reason not to use an account that has root permissions.

Thank You one and all.
The information about how to restore the look and feel of Azureus is wonderful.
I dislike Vuze, it is too much of what I don't want.
Seeing Azuerus again was like seeing a long lost friend!
thanks again.

Too many people using very foul language in these comments. These idiots think this is cute/cool, and I expect they are going to shout me down. They are the kind of people who believe they can say anything they want, like it's guaranteed by the Constitution. What they don't understand is freedom of speech is limited, like you can't offend someone else, or they can sue you in court and win. Of course, these people don't respect the rights of others, so I'm wasting my breath on them, and to them I am a fool. We've got too many people like this in our society, and they are just tearing our country apart. To them I say....GET SMART! Do you enjoy living like stray dogs in the park?

The developers of Vuze should be hanged by their balls with a piece of rusty barb-wire!
I will never use any piece of their shiity bloathware ever again.
In my own language: Val kapot stelletje VUZE teringlijers!

The thing that's missing among thee complaints is that Vuze sucks up all the RAM and CPU cycles on your computer. Leave it on all day, and you have to do a hard reboot. This is true on both Mac and Windows. In fact, it only tkes a few hours before you are hosed. I hope this behqvior can be controlled -- e.g., by wrapping the executable in a shell script that adds a java flag to limit how much RAM and CPU this pig can take.

(Mac OS X ) After a recent update I was unable to download more than one file at a time yet I was uploading 3-4 files at alarming speeds. I restricted the bandwidth to the uploads based on a suggestion that the upload speeds may be interfering with download speeds.

I did some quick research to see what some of the other popular Mac bittorrent clients, downloaded Transmission and ran a test. I quit out of Vuze and loaded the same torrents there were not downloading into Transmission, and voila, most of the torrents were immediately downloading.

For a long time I have found the interface on Vuze bloated and the automatic upgrades completely obnoxious. It is bloatware plain and simple. I have deleted it and will not look back at this piece of garbage.

Last week, I got the new Vuze version updated on my computer and ever since, it is a mess!!!
First, my internet connection became very slow and now my downloads are really slow too
I looked for answers everywhere with no succes, my options all look set up correctly. It is really furstrating and I'm close to give up and to start using something like utorrent...
I never had any problems with Vuze before but now it is really bad.... No need to create new version if it is to have such problems. with nobody to clearly explain what the resolutions are. Funny thing is: lots of people are complaining about the speed and technicians I read on the net say they didn't see any problems of that type yet....
A mess I tell you.....

I installed Vuze on my Mac OSX over the weekend and have been finding shit on PirateBay...now my internet connection has slowed to a crawl! I had to uninstall the whole program and I'm stilling crawling through cyberspace!!!
Anyone know what the fuck happened????????

I was googling for Vuze and Belkin to see if I was the only poor bastard who has a Belkin Wireless G v 5000 router and have the router HARD LOCK as soon as torrents start going in Vuze 3.1.1.0. I am really pissed off about this. How the hell can a program cause my router to HARD LOCK forcing me to unplug and reboot my router?! That's totally messed up.

Belkin Wireless G ver 5000 does NOT work with Vuze 3.1.1.0 I can confirm this (even on a torrent only connected to like 5 peers causes a hard lock in the router).

PLEASE FIX VUZE! I had to go to oldapps.com and get azureus 2.5.0.4 so my router wouldn't hard lock.

"This first thing you’ll notice about the software, compared with most other BitTorrent clients, is its ease-of-use and polished interface."

WTF? The first thing I notice is that it wants me to look at a bunch of stupid shit instead of showing me what I'm trying to download. Why would I want to look through a bunch of videos? If I am using a bittorrent client it is because I already found something to download.

How is this new interface any more efficient than searching for what you want on the pirate bay?

One other reason for dumping Vuze is when I tried to install the latest version (after a Windoze crash), it asked for JRE 1.5 or later. I found that downloading JRE 1.5 is almost next to impossible (go figure!)....so again...

I dumped Vuze/Azereus for uTorrent. You should do it too. Vuze is slow and gives you features you wouldn't need! I just want torrents, not crap! Thanks Azereus, goodbye Vuze!

i would like to remind all you people out there who are complaining about the new interface that they can easily switch back to the old interface... it took me about a minute to find the option. the plus side of doing this is you get the advantages of new bug fixes that come out with the newer versions. the new interface is simply a waqy for the creators of vuze (azureus) to attract a different demographic then those who are more computer literate.

all you have to do to change your interface is to go to tools: options
then interface: start
and itsd the last option choose interface

Staples that was easy

I understand all your complaints about the new Vuze interface and I agree 100% is blows. But that's not all. Simply going into the interface settings and changing that doesn't fix the fact that Vuze LOCKS UP MY ROUTER IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTUP WITH ACTIVE TORRENTS. Dood? WTF? I have to physically unplug my router and plug it back in! I look in the security log before I reboot it and it is FILLED with IP SPOOFING ALERTS. I'm not turning off my firewall just so Vuze will work. Uninstalled Vuze, and sifted through the developers site to find the version 2.5.0.4. You can get the old version here: http://sourceforge.net/proj...

I installed that choose the advanced option and of course as soon as it starts up it wants to update, I clicked cancel then went into: tools->options->interface->start and unselected the top for check boxes for splash screen, check for updates on start, periodically check for updates, and automatically load the update assistant when an update is available.

Now, downloading my Naruto and Bleach episodes at over 900K (yes almost 1 megabyte per second) and my router doesn't have one complaint about IP spoofing from the WAN.

What the hell did they break in the Azureus engine itself that can cause my router to lock up? That's fucked up. (Belkin wireless G ver. 5000)

Hey people that are working on this vuze, get ahold of a Belkin wireless G ver. 5000 and watch it HARD LOCK in about 5 seconds after torrents start going.

Oh well, I'll never stop using azureus 2.5.0.4.

Vuze is incredibly crappy. Super slow and unnecessary things. Download speeds bottomed from 250-300 kbps to 30-40 kbps. Tried all possible settings but NO LUCK. All we want is a torrent interface, Good ol' Azureus is really awesome. Reverting back to 2.5 !!

I dumped "Vuze" when all my downloads slowed to a crawl and no amount of tweaking would improve or fix the problem. I had three downloads that slowed to 2.5kb/s and stayed that way for a week. As soon as I switched to utorrent they picked up to between 95 and 250 kb/s.

Azeurus did not need improving, it worked fine. This new Vuze is shite...
