End Of Support for Azureus/Vuze clients on 1 March 2017


With the swarm share of Azures/Vuze down to around 3%, let's finally do this. The main problem with Azureus/Vuze is that its dynamic queue feature hides seemingly actively seeded torrents from the tracker (and activates them when the client registers new downloaders on them). This is how torrents expire as the tracker doesn't know they are seeded. Even after the years this issue has not gone away. Also Azureus/Vuze are bloated, slow and clumsy clients, and if misconfigured, tend to send gibberish data to the tracker. With much better choices on the 'market', let's finally drop the dead weight.


Please move your torrents to another client. You have two months. This support thread covers μTorrent 2.2.1 which is a recommended choice.
