Re: People still use Azureus?
said by adisor19  :said by Matt :People still use Azureus? Is there any compelling reason to use it over uTorrent? You're joking, right ? Azureus/Vuze is the best torrent client out there in terms of features hands down. If you configure it properly no other client can come close to it in terms of speed especially on a non Windows platform. Adi A Java application will never be as fast or lightweight as a native app.
Azureus = 9.3MB
uTorrent = 263KB
Maybe for non-Windows users it's the best (all the Linux torrent clients I've used are pretty terrible) but for Windows it's bloated and slow. I haven't seen a peer using Azureus in ages. |

But if you configure it properly(and patch TCP/IP since you're using winblows) and if you make sure DHT tracker is enabled, you're gonna get faster speeds then uTorrent guaranteed.

Adi uTorrent supports DHT, so I doubt that's true. Unless you are referring to the DHT plugin that allows you to force DHT even when the tracker turns it off? |

I haven't seen a peer using Azureus in ages. Fast how exactly? Torrent speeds? Torrent speeds are definitely fast on Vuze or older Azureus versions.
It might not start instantly, it takes about 3 seconds to actually launch and get to the program because it is Java, but all the great features it has makes up for it. uTorrent is not bad by any stretch but last time I checked it lacked features.
For anyone with a computer over 1GB of RAM it definitely is fine. |
