I2P integration, Swarm Merging, Advanced Tag System, WebTorrent support, built-in VPN kill switch, Meta-search, UPnP/DLNA access, and much more. I will show you how to fix Vuze not downloading (or any Bittorent like Utorrent), this is after allowing the Firewall to access Vuze of course!

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The BitTorrent protocol is very popular nowadays with more and more users choosing this file sharing method because of the advantages it brings in speed and functionality. That is the main reason why the software market has now to offer a lot of dedicated clients, more or less efficient, designed to help users download files at impressive speeds.

Vuze Bittorrent Client (Azureus) is one of these types of programs, which requires Java Runtime Environment in order to run. This fact does not make it any less powerful than the majority of all similar tools.

Ad-supported setup and intuitive interface

The installation process might take a while, especially if you take the custom road. However, you should be careful during it, as it offers to download third-party products and make certain changes to your default web browser.

After you are done with it, you are greeted by a pretty clean and simple-to-handle interface, as it consists of a menu bar, a panel in which to display selected details and a customizable navigation pane, so that you can easily access all options that you deem important.

Look for a specific torrent, subscribe to RSS feeds and pause the download process

This utility enables you to start downloading torrent files, as well as stop, pause and resume the process with just a click of the button. If you are interested in finding a specific torrent, you can use the powerful built-in search function.

In addition to that, you should know it supports RSS subscriptions so that you can automatically be notified when new content appears. It is possible to filter these feeds with the help of custom keywords and user-defined file size.

Ban specified IP addresses, view statistics and play videos

This tool blocks IP addressed according to your specifications and automatically when they have sent bad data. You can view client stats and a graphical representation of the download and upload speed, while it is also possible to place a transfer bar on the desktop.

Last but not least, it lets you “drag and drop” videos from your library to iTunes so that you can easily play them without needing another third-party product, and logs can be displayed in the main window with just a click of the button, as well as your shares and trackers.

Performance and conclusion

To wrap it up, Vuze BitTorrent Client is a well-rounded and efficient piece of software when it comes to downloading items using a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol.

The interface is accessible to all types of users and comprehensive Help contents are incorporated. Tasks are completed in a timely manner without putting a strain on the computer’s performance and without popping up errors, freezing or hanging.

Azureus Vuze Free Download

WebTorrent allows direct browser-to-browser Bittorrent downloads by utilizing a WebSocket based tracker protocol and WebRTC peer connections. The peer-to-peer protocol is based directly on the Bittorrent protocol (once an RTC connection is established) while the tracker protocol flow is modified to allow the exchange of WebRTC offers and answers to facilitate the peer connection process.

Vuze uses a plugin to implement support for this, see http://plugins.vuze.com/details/azwebtorrent. This can be installed either automatically on detection of a WebTorrent tracker, or manually using the plugin installation wizard within Vuze.

For availability, see below.

4Technical Details

WebTorrent Client

When you add a torrent to Vuze that uses a WebTorrent tracker you will be prompted to install the plugin - once complete there is nothing else that you need to do to be able to connect to WebTorrent peers.

Here is a test torrent that only includes WebTorrent trackers. It is the same torrent used by https://webtorrent.io/ but has the normal trackers and webseed removed for demonstration purposes. Note however that if you leave 'decentralized tracking' enabled for this then you will connect to 'classic' Bittorrent peers as well as WebTorrent ones.

WebTorrent Tracker

The plugin also contains a built-in WebTorrent tracker that you can configure if you want to create your own WebTorrent enabled downloads. See the plugin configuration page for the various options. If you want the tracker to be publicly available you will need to either obtain a static IP address (and preferably a domain to assign to it) or use a 'dynamic DNS' solution to ensure that your tracker is publicly available.

Alternatively you can use an open tracker. The following is a list of open WebTorrent trackers that can be used when creating torrents.

Download Enhancement

Vuze Azureus Download

You can make an existing download available to WebTorrent peers by adding a WebTorrent tracker to it and then publishing either the modified download's Magnet URI or the modified Torrent file. The Library views have a right-click context menu item to add either your own WebTorrent tracker's URL (when configured), or the open trackers listed under the plugin configuration, to a download:

Once done you will see the WebTorrent tracker URL in the Sources tab of the download.

You can then use a WebTorrent client such as βTorrent (https://btorrent.xyz/ - note, only WSS tracker URLs are supported) to download the file in your browser (for example)

Technical Details

Implementation

To leverage existing WebRTC implementations a dedicated instance of a Chromium browser is used. This 'bridge' mediates communication between Vuze and WebTorrent peers.

For the original implementation see https://webtorrent.io/

Availability

Support for this is introduced in Vuze 5701_B13+ and requires Java 7 or higher.

Windows, OSX (64-bit only) and Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) are supported.
