Download Azureus 2.2.0.0

Version 2.2.0.0 of the program of the same name can be downloaded from the Azureus homepage. Azureus is a BitTorrent client written in Java and runs on Linux, MacOS X and Windows, among others. In addition to downloading, it can prioritize both torrents themselves and the individual files in a torrent, and it has a built-in tracker so that you can also share files yourself. Through plugins the possibilities can be expanded even further. The changelog for this release looks like this:
