TEUN  Coming from Tomato torrent, which I like for its simplicity, I had problems with UDP only trackers, so I gave Vuze a try.

Wow, what a piece of bloat this is! It felt like dropping right back into the Windows era I happily left years ago.

Since when do we need a full blown installer for a simple bittorrent client?

Maybe for shoving in a drive by install of a toolbar in Safari, including usage feedback without asking me????

I wonder what other crap got installed as well...

(The toolbar can be uninstalled by going to /Applications/toolbar/vuze and double-clicking the uninstall script.)

Feels like realnetworks back in the day.

Interface wise, well, what can I say. I took me quite a few clicks before I found out how to start the download of the torrent that was already on my desktop...

The search function didn't find the torrent I was looking for, and generally returned results that I can find better with google.

I'll keep it around in case I stumble over a UDP only tracker, but otherwise I'll stick to tomato torrent...

MACTECHHEAD  Hahaha, what a typical n00b windlows user.

There's a checkbox to install the toolbar dumbass.

You belong on windows and should sell your Mac to someone that deserves having one.

Tomato torrent is dead and has been dead for years!
