Vuze Client, an end-to-end application that acts as a complete Bittorrent downloader without slowing down the computer, is now at version 4.8.0.0.

Vuze Bittorrent Client 4.8.1.2 is relatively lightweight and can be used to download torrents and even act as a search engine.

The application features a few important options such as Metasearch, a way of finding torrents without having to actually open the websites in an Internet browser.

We reviewed Vuze a while ago and found out that although it comes with an impressive array of features, it will only appeal to the regular users as the application is a little cumbersome and difficult to use. Highlights of Vuze 4.8.1.2:

• The 'move do not download files to a subfolder' feature has been removed because it was “misbehaving”; • A 'pause for' (or 'resume after') option has been added to the File menu to temporarily suspend downloads for a time period; • An option to prevent automatic copy to iTunes, after conversion to allow tagging, has been added; • An option to place 'do not download' stub files into a subdirectory has been implemented (it's currently limited to downloads with less than or equal to 2048 files); • The ability to prefer the IPv4 stack, to help with some connection issues on Java 1.7, has been added; • Vuze now attempts to detect if the user is running over a VPN and will provide a prompt to bind to the VPN interface for increased privacy; • The ability to specify alternative DNS servers (default=Google DNS), to be used when resolving SOCKS proxies, has been added; • Vuze now detects if an explicitly bound interface is present when the user starts the application; • The option to close Vuze/perform computer power functions, when transcoding completes, has been added.
