After the introduction of version 5, it has been crash after crash, malware and even, I know it's a strong word, crapware. I have been a Vuze user almost from day one, but I am considering changing to another client. I am done and will never look back unless they completely rewrite it an leave the Java bugs far away from it! It proves that nothing is better than using this rotten software! The Vuze App is a perfect App for crashes all the way back to version 4." To avoid the use of Java, you should delete any links to Java of any version. It is 2014, the 7 something was released ages ago.

This was a great application for exchanging very big files across branches located somewhere else. This is todays fresh release of Vuze 5.4.0.0, it is buggier than the beta version and it refuses to open unless Java 6 is downloaded from an Apple web page. "You asked for easy steps to reproduce the crash: Just open the Vuze App and wait for it.

As a Mac/iOS developer, I was asked to write a note with the crash report: After the current sending of big files to another branch, any traces of it will be deleted.

It quits and crashes every 5-10 minutes and is totally useless! In my 30 years as a professional troubleshooter of badly written software, I honestly can' remember anything as bad as Vuze. Got the new 5.4.0.0 Release a few hours ago and this version is worse than the beta versions before it.

WARNING! THIS SO BADLY CODED THAT I URGE EVERYONE TO FIND AN ALTERNATIVE TO!!!!Īnd to MacUpdate: This is just as bad as the buggy software from the company behind MacKeeper and you put up a note recommending avoiding software from that company. Please DIY finding and using a suitable blocking list for your chosen BT protocol application. Be extra careful out there! And again, an up-to-date blocking list is recommended. You can read about BIglyBT here at MU as well as at the URL provided below by Barry5p. Head over to Wikipedia for excellent introductions to all these topics and applications, with the exception of BiglyBT, which apparently hasn't yet hit Wikipedia's radar. As such, never use WAREZ, or at least first scan such software with a high quality and up-to-date anti-malware app before using it. Also note that BitTorrented WAREZ software is now infamous for being infected with malware. Keep in mind that BT sharing remains under scrutiny by the media industry. The BitTorrent protocol has a steep initial learning curve, but is well worth the effort. As such, it provides considerably more options than Transmission. It is considered the descendent and revival of the Azureus/Vuze project. The BiglyBT Open Source project began in 2017 in response to the Vuze situation. It is considered the most simple to setup and use reliably. In 2005 the Transmission Open Source project was started and continues on as such today. In 2010, Vuze was purchased by Spigot, became proprietary, was parallel named µTorrent, is now considered ADWARE and should be avoided. Meanwhile, in 2004 the Open Source Azureus project was started and continued on via Vuze. BitTorrent is currently considered ADWARE and should be avoided. The cryptocurrency TRON Foundation bought the BitTorrent company in 2018, at which point creator Bram Cohen left the company.


As of version 6, BitTorrent became proprietary software. As a result, BitTorrent was forced to 'play nice' with the media industry or face lawsuits. As of version 5 in 2006, BitTorrent came under the scrutiny of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) and the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) due to copyright infringement by BitTorrent users. Azureus and its descendents are based on this code. Versions 1 - 4 of their software were Open Source via various licenses. The BitTorrent company was formed in 2004. It is also the name of the original, very first BT client, created by Bram Cohen in 2001. "BitTorrent" (BT) is the name of a file sharing protocol. If you like bells and whistles, aka Geek Meter in the RED, you want BiglyBT. I personally use the latest version of Transmission along with an up-to-date blocking list. NO, this is not the torrenting client you're looking for.
