Vuze is a powerful BitTorrent client that greatly extends the original Python client's feature set. It can manage multiple downloads at once from a single window, or offer detailed real-time download statistics with export to XML, advanced download and seeding management rules, configuration and torrent creation wizards, embedded tracker for easy and automated hosting of your own files, PeerGuardian IP address filtering and web browser, and console UIs.

The multi-platform BitTorrent client makes transferring files via the BitTorrent protocol more stable, more usable and faster. A new split-window MyTorrents view with support for categories, advanced downloading / seeding / queuing rules for powerful and automated torrent management, a customizable user interface, seeding from read-only media, and significant reductions in resource usage are just some of the advantages delivered by Vuze. Besides the powerful plugin interface, the client also supports a total of 27 languages.

With the latest version out (4.1.0.0), Vuze got a new FP Ignore rule - Ignore 1st Priority after X hours of idle upload speed (default 24h); support for loading torrents when the HTTP response is an error (like 404, 500) but the data is still a torrent; support for multiple Content Networks and a bunch of UI changes, such as:

- experimental neuronal speed algorithm. - added AS/ASN peer column. - added properties view to buddies avatar widget. - control+I in library to open torrent info (torrent details) page.

Additional changes include the ability to share categories with friends as subscriptions, support for table column removal, a getComputerName method and more.
