Software Update: Vuze 4.4.0.0

Spread the love

A few days ago, version 4.4.0.0 of Vuze became available. This Bittorrent client written in Java, formerly known as Azureus, has among other things the ability to prioritize individual torrents and even individual files within a particular torrent. In addition, the program has a built-in tracker so that sharing your own files is possible. Furthermore, the functionality of Vuze can be increased by means of plugins, such as for example with the Country Locator. The changelog of this release shows the following changes and improvements:
