Utorrent is much better than vuze

"vuze saves me"
i have a pretty slow connection and have installed both utorrent and vuze. whereas utorrent falters to even start properly a single download i'm having a gala time with vuze. the connection is slow and torrent ports are blocked by the isp, but still vuze manages to download large files, although the time taken is exorbitant.
this is definitely a great software.

"good work but..."
So many reviews, and so many bad comments about this program.
Well, I use the utorrent sometimes, but vuze is sometimes better for me. It can work in a better speed and stability like utorrent.
I am not saying that this is the best and utorrent is not, only saying that vuze could be a good alternative (faster in my region than utorrent), but utorrent has a few more functions which are more useable and stable.
I may give a 4 star for this program...

"pointless debate"
to compare azureus with u torrent is totally stupid. both are for different people with different needs. if you want a lightweight program with no frills and dosent require a saturn 5 rocket to power it, then u torrent is the one. if you want a one stop shop thats convenient and dosent require trawling round sites then this is your ticket. it burns more power because of this and will have higher security risks. to x. your a lemon and you dont have a scoobie at what your on about. of course people are nervous when their av flashes up warnings! just because some people are not tech minded dosent mean they are idiots. to slag off a flawless program like u torrent in comparison to this, is not the words of someone who knows much about their pc or fsp. getta grip and think about it..

"Still among the best"
The interface can be easily changed to the old Azureus GUI. They actually prompt you to do exactly that upon first install.

"Could use some work"
Very awful interface.
However, the encrypted transport function helps keep you from getting disconnected by ISP's that use packet shaping technology to disrupt downloads with peer to peer programs.
You may still get disconnected, but seems you stay online a lot longer before that happens if you set it to encrypted.
Could use a simpler interface, in addition to the ability to search for music, video, games like in ares.
By the way, changing the start page in ares to about:blank works just like in IE or Firefox. No need to load startvg page, or even google anymore.
Serve up a blank page & stop wasting bandwidth.

"Has its good points..."
The extensive built-in library of free music/video downloads makes this worth having.

"bloated!!!"
Bloatware! This is really disappointing! I wanted to upgrade from version 2.5, but this version is really totally bloated and slows down my machine drastically. Azureus became unaccetable. I uninstalled and switched to uTorrent - which is perfect (small, fast, reliable).

"Oh get a damned life!"
First of all, Norton sucks--this is well known. I banned ALL Symantec crap on ALL my systems years ago. Azureus/Vuze has NO malware. Why people can't get their brains around this is a mystery to me; if your anti-virus crapware says there's a virus, or a trojan, or anything else... Why do you automatically believe it? No AV solution is anywhere NEAR 100% reliable.
And I'm sick of the uTorrent idiot fans who can't help vomit their nonsense about Azureus. "Oh change my diaper, Azureus uses more than 10MB of memory! Oh geez how do I uuuuze it?" Get a grip, get a life.

"Home Page Bad Site"
Went to its homepage because I had heard good things about it and Norton pick up a Trojan before I could even look at it Bad Site why would you download it Lord knows what you would get embedded in your system if you downloaded it

"Azureus 2.5 is ok, but this one sucks"
Since Version 3.0, Azureus has become a bloated piece of crap, slowing down your comp to the bone. And it's packed with a lot of advertising bs nobody needs!

"To come back to the discussion..."
Its okay to compare uTorrent and Azureus in a text-editting-prgm way. But when you do so, then you need to see it like this. If you want to make a simple html site, you just want to use Notepad and not Microsoft Office Word. With bloated Im not saying that it has too much options, I mean the options are great! But it uses Java, which makes it a resource hog (CPU, (Virtual) RAM Memory) and makes it slow down your system. The same goes for Limewire. Why use Limewire if there's Ares. Why use Norton Antivirus if there's Ares. Im not saying it's predecided. It's just my humble opinion.

"µTorrent vs Azureus debate"
My view:
µTorrent vs Azureus is like
Wordpad vs MS Word.
If you only need Wordpad to type a short note: fine; use Wordpad, don't use Word.
If you need (some) functions of Word: fine; don't use Wordpad, use Word!
Same goes for µTorrent and Azureus; just want to start a download quickly and not care about optimal speeds? Use µTorrent.
Want anything more than that? Use Azureus (or any other "bloated" program).
