Note: Avoid trying the Vuze.app Beta Core Azureus Version Update v4703-B35 (Azureus4703-B35-signed.jar). It's not very stable and has issues with OS X Java version(s) installed (whether Apple's or Oracle's *) and versions of Apple's OS X "Java Preferences.app" have problems with it (which is probably something from the Apple side).

* Oracle's OS X Java is currently only for OS X 10.7.3, and Apple's way-out-of date and rather infamously deliberately not updated OS X Java builds for OS X 10.3.9 (7W98) PPC, OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) PPC OS X 10.4.11 (8S2167) Intel, OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) Universal Binary for PPC and Intel, and OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) Intel, are extremely well known lately (for reasons I'm sure don't have to list here in detail).

I want this god forsaken tool bar off all of my browsers. I hate it and there is no apparent way to get rid of it. No tech support and googling only finds more frustrated people... look for yourself. I hate this kind of tenacious crap software with no uninstall. I thought this crap disappeared 10 years ago.

I have been a long time Transmission user. However, recently AT&T started throttling P2P traffic and after much research and trial and error, Vuze was the only thing that worked for me. It's not the best looking or the easiest to use but it works.

This is, by far the best torrent app I've ever used!

Man , if only vuze are not that heavy-loly , vuze would be my best choice for handling some torrents ...

but compared to transmission , if vuze was just like transmission , the lightweight app , which one should be the chosen one ?

Robert Poland reviewed on 28 Sep 2011

The half star is because nothing works anymore. Have enjoyed using Azureus for years, now Vuze.
With the introduction of version 4.7 all versions have quit working. I reverted back to 4.2.2 and none of them work.
"Quit working", Vuze 4.6.0.5 on OS 10.6.8 no longer finds ANY TV shows.
Vuze 4.7 on OS 10.7.1 (MBP) won't even startup.
And yes I have installed Java. Although I wonder about swt.
The forums are a waste of time, nothing newer that 2009.
No apparent method to contact the developer.

HELP! I agree with Robert. The older version provided me with a subtitle option on 70% of my downloads. With 4.7 I can't get even one subtitle from opensubtitles.org. Can somebody help me? Maybe something needs to be enabled or disabled in Preferences. Hope it is a simple fix. When I click on the box and am given the choice of opensubtitles.org or file I click on opensubtitles.org just like the older version but it always comes up none available. The older version gave me a choice of an English subtitle available at least 70% of the time.

This is the fastest and most powerful of the lot. Too bad it's also the ugliest too. LOL

No other client worked with my internet service provider Rogers Cable that throttles and deliberately tries to block torrent traffic.

Thank you team Vuze for bringing the Lion OS fix.

Updated to 4.7 and it is behaving nice now with Lion OS. Thanks for the fixes. This is the only torrent client for power users or people like me with a bad ISP.

Here is is the changes to 4.7 I found after launching it.

Thanks for posting the release notes, I've added those to our listing :)

Patriziaf had trouble on 28 Apr 2010

Interface more and more slow (Leopard 10.5.8). One minute to download the torrent file! (normally, 2 seconds). The last updates were a disaster.
I don't have connection problems, it's only Vuze.

Fatal Java error while installing Vuze 4.3.1.0 on Mac OS 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard). Installer quit and failed installation.
This is the first version of Vuze to give me this error.
Reverted to Vuze 4.3.0.6 which works fine.

MacTechHead had trouble on 10 Jul 2009

Damn it, been using Azureus / Vuze for for years, this latest update is now non-working for me. It won't connect to any peers.

Bummer, now I gotta track down an earlier copy prior to 4.2.04 that was still working properly for me.

iMac-Intel with 10.5.7 and all the latest updates, and yes I tried using the NAT/Firewall test, changed the port # , test passed, applied the new port # and still nothing. Peers show up and all of them are not connected or still pending.

WTH !

pasquo45 had trouble on 16 Oct 2008

After I installed Vuze 4.0, all torrents I download from torrent sites appear with a Limewire icon. When I double click on the torrent icon in my 'downloads' window, my computer opens up Limewire and downloads from there. Why is this happening and how do I fix it??

Delete LimeWire. Why would you waste Hard Drive space on LW when you have Vuze?

Is there a way or plugin to save the size of the Azureus display window? When I first start it up, it takes up my entire screen. Just annoying! I have to resize it every single time I start up Azureus.

philsh had trouble on 08 Apr 2007

Try relaunching the Finder and then hide the app. This has worked for me with other apps that refuse to hide.
