It's in Java because unlike other programming languages, Java is the easiest to port from Windows to Linux to Unix to OSX

That's the thing with Azureus all summed up: it's feature packed and cross platform, but it's a real bruiser for a torrent app. I'm looking forward to more of its features and plugins being integrated into native Mac clients to get the best of both worlds.

But Azureus is always there in case you need what only it can give, and for free too, so I'm thankful for that.

I was looking for a better alternative for Azureus, that still had the convenience of the RSS Feed Scanner for automatic TV show downloading and the ip-blocking of SafePeer, and now finally there is a combo that can do this without the java-bloat of Azureus:

Azureus => Transmission http://osx.iusethis.com/app/transmission
SafePeer => PeerGuardian http://osx.iusethis.com/app/peerguardian (background process)
RSS Feed Scanner => TVShows http://osx.iusethis.com/app/tvshows (background process)

new version is too slowww...

quit using it ever since this Vuze BS came along the program has been on a downhill slope the latest update was just the straw that broke the camels back write good software that's functional not a clunky bombardment of my personal media collection that spews crap media at me every time i launch it.
