Vuze is free

Azureus Menu[edit]

With this menu, which is only available on Mac computers, you can control the adding and removal of torrents to your active list in the Torrents tab of the main view. These are only shortcuts to menu items also available via the other menus.

  • About Azureus shows the usual informations about the application. (Alternatively reachable via )
  • Preferences… shows the Options
  • Configuration Wizard… starts the configuration wizard, which guides you through the most important setup steps. (Alternatively reachable via )
  • NAT / Firewall Test allows you to quickly check wheter or not your firewall and NAT settings are correct. If your client fails this test, you may want to have a look at the of the Initial Setup Guide or at the FAQ page about NAT problems. (Alternatively reachable via )
  • Restart Azureus will quit and restart the Azureus client. (Alternatively reachable via )
  • Services is a standard Mac OS X menu and not available in Azureus.
  • Hide Azureus hides the Azureus window
  • Hide Others hides all windows except Azureus
  • Show All restores all hidden windows
  • Quit Azureus will exit Azureus. (Alternatively reachable via >Exit)

Notes[edit]

If you want to add all active torrents back into Vuze, you should copy across the active directory to your new configuration directory. If you aren’t able to add your torrents back in from the location that you saved your torrents to, then you can always copy the .dat files from active directory across to a temporary directory, rename them from *.dat to *.torrent and drag them into Vuze. If all goes well, Azureus will match the hash ID stored in the renamed *.dat file, and then load up all the previous settings related to that download from the *.dat file in the active directory.

Bencoded files are specially encoded files used by torrent programs. Usually they can be read also with text/hex editors, although their contents will look like gibberish. There are special Bencode editors, which enable proper handling of the information. One of the best editors is Ultima’s Bencode Editor, which was originally distributed at the uTorrent forums, http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=31306 , but has now also a site at Google: http://sites.google.com/site/ultimasites/bencode-editor

A built-in command to reset configuration to default values was introduced in version 4.4.1.0. The command resides in the Mode options, where a Reset button will clean options stored in azureus.config to the default values.

Bittorrent Downloading Is Born

In 2001, a new technical standard was developed — called bittorrent — that enabled transfer of very large files using a new peer-to-peer model. In this approach, each computer in the network — referred to as a «peer» or «seed» — has the ability to send or receive pieces of files to others. A user wanting to download a file (a «peer») can literally obtain small pieces of it from multiple computers («seeds»). In fact, a computer that has only a portion of a file is able to send that portion to others who may need it, even though it does not yet have the whole file. Thus, a computer in the system can both receive pieces of the file from multiple other seeds, and send portions simultaneously.
Because users simultaneously obtain pieces of the file from multiple sources, they can get the entire file much more quickly. Put another way, rather than relying on the bandwidth capacity of a single set of central servers (one-to-many), or the bandwidth capacity of one other user (one-to-one), users are benefitting from the distributed computing capacity of all the seeds in the system (many-to-many) — collectively known as «the swarm» (visualized below). How cool is that?

Newest Way: Downloading a Torrent Using Vuze

Vuze is proud to be a leading participant in the open source community, and has contributed significant advancements to the bittorrent movement over the years, including innovations in DHT, encryption, intelligent peer selection using Vivaldi, FriendBoost, and Reverse Subscriptions. More significantly, however, the Vuze team has developed and is working to continue to develop an intuitive product where users can easily experience the benefits of these innovations without requiring any understanding these underlying technologies.

Menu

The following menus are available to you to control the activity of the Vuze client application.

  • (on Mac only) gives you direct access to control and setup options for Vuze.
  • gives you access to options to add or share torrents as well as import and export XML torrents.
  • allows you to start, stop and pause all transfers.
  • gives you options for currently downloading or seeding torrents. (Available only in the classic user interface.)
  • adds extra view tabs into the main display and switch back to Vuze views.
  • gives you access to the options and some useful tools.
  • lists and manages all Vuze plugins.
  • gives info that may help run or use Vuze including find plugins.

Configuration Presets[edit]

You can create a file containing configuration presets (i.e. initial values) that you want Vuze to use by creating a folder named ‘custom’ in the configuration directory and then placing a text file in that folder that has a name ending in «.config» — for example <config_dir>/custom/mypresets.config

This file should contain lines in the following format:

Copy to Clipboard

<parameter_name>=<type>:<value>
  • parameter_name — the internal parameter name used by Vuze for the configuration setting
  • type — one of ‘long’, ‘bool’ (value ‘true’ or ‘false’), ‘string’, ‘float’, ‘byte[]’ (value must be encoded as base16 string), ‘list’ or ‘map’ (last two use a bencoded string to represent the value)

The following sets the default save location to ‘C:\My Downloads\ and TCP listen port to 48787:

Copy to Clipboard

Default\ save\ path=string:c:\\My Downloads
TCP.Listen.Port=long:48787

Note that spaces in the config key name (the part before the = sign) need to be escaped by prefixing with a \, likewise any \ characters in the value itself.

Once the settings have been applied the file will be renamed to have a suffix of «.applied» — this means the settings will only be applied once, not every time Vuze is started.

Clearing settings[edit]

If you just want to reset your Vuze settings, delete the file ‘azureus.config’ and ‘azureus.config.bak’ from your Azureus .

A new Reset option was added to in version 4.4.1.0 for clearing the settings. In the older Vuze clients (before version 4.4.1.0), there was no built-in command to clear the settings, so you would have to do it manually.

One way to clear the settings manually:

  1. For Windows:
    1. close Vuze
    2. go to Start > Run
    3. type cmd /k DEL «%appdata%\Azureus\Azureus.config*» and hit Enter
    4. restart Vuze
  2. For Mac:
    1. close Vuze
    2. go to ~/Library/Application Support
    3. delete the folder in that directory named Vuze (or whatever your installation of Vuze is called)
    4. restart Vuze

Preserving settings related to active downloadsedit

If you want to re-install Vuze and would like to keep your active downloads and .torrents, make sure that they you do not delete them along the other settings. Preseve the file ‘downloads.config’ and the directory ‘active’ in your configuration directory.

Pairing[edit]

Pairing is a feature that makes it easier for remote interfaces and applications to link to Vuze.

Without pairing it is necessary to manually find the public IP address of Vuze in order to connect to it. Often ISPs will periodically change the IP address which means continually having to keep track of the current one assigned. Also, each remote service will have a separate port assigned to it, so this has to be kept track of as well.

Pairing automates this process by keeping an up-to-date record of Vuze’s public IP, along with the various remote services installed. An access code is used to control access to this information, all that you need to remember is this code. It is of course still possible to control access to the individual services via username/password, the access code simply gives access to the current IP and service ports your Vuze has defined.

Currently remote services need to be directly connectable from the Internet — that is the relevant ports need to be open (either via UPnP or manually configured)

Verify your Windows Vuze Installer[edit]

The official installer in Windows environment is «digitally signed» by Vuze Inc., and you can check/verify that digital signature with Windows Explorer.If the Windows installer is not properly signed by Vuze Inc., it is a third-party modification and should not be trusted.Note: Scam sites often sell and distribute legit signed installer binaries, especially of old client versions.

The source code for Vuze/Azureus is «open source» and follows the GNU General Public License (GPL), the text of which license gets installed to your Vuze program directory.

The list that follows gives you websites falsely using the Vuze/Azureus name and product to make you pay.

Newest Way: Downloading a Torrent Using Vuze

Vuze is proud to be a leading participant in the open source community, and has contributed significant advancements to the bittorrent movement over the years, including innovations in DHT, encryption, intelligent peer selection using Vivaldi, FriendBoost, and Reverse Subscriptions. More significantly, however, the Vuze team has developed and is working to continue to develop an intuitive product where users can easily experience the benefits of these innovations without requiring any understanding these underlying technologies.

How do I search for and download a torrent?

To search for a specific torrent within Vuze just move your pointer to the search box at the top of the window, click it, type your desired search item and hit enter.

The result page will contain 2 tabs: Web Search and Meta Search.

The Web Search tab acts like an internal web browser and will provide the results of an online search for the keyword(s) you have entered. The results from this tab include websites, images, videos, news and more.

To directly access the list of torrents containing the keyword make sure to click on the Meta Search tab.

To download a torrent, click on the “Download” button next to it in the results list.

Mode options[edit]

This allows you to alter the complexity of the controls that are offered to you. You might choose to set this to avoid the possibility of messing up the settings.

Beginner just allows managing of torrents, intermediate allows local trackers and many settings, advanced allows access to everything.

  • Beginner is the default level for new users, and it hides some options and menu commands, which the users might inadvertently misuse. It also hides many available fields in column setup dialogs.
  • Intermediate is the recommended level for most users who have managed to find this wiki.
  • Advanced offers all the options for your tinkering, if you understand their function.
The visibility of some options depends on your «User proficiency»: Beginner Intermediate Advanced

Since version 4.4.1.0, the Mode options page also contains a button to reset Vuze’s main settings to default values. This button can be used for reverting back to defaults, if you think that your vuze settings have got too messed up.

Getting started

Vuze, originally known as Azureus, is a BitTorrent client written in Java, which makes it rather platform independent. The Eclipse SWT toolkit is used for providing the user interface functionality.

The BitTorrent protocol is a way of exchanging or distributing data over the internet. Users do not download from a central server, instead they download from other users. Downloading also means uploading, and the amounts of each are linked, to ensure fairness and rapidity in the spread of the file at hand.

For information on how to set up Vuze, see the Initial_Setup_Guide

To be able to download a file, you first need to get the associated .torrent file. This file, usually a dozen KB in size, is the «signature» of the much bigger file to be downloaded, and it needs special client software to be read properly. Vuze is one of those types of software.

If you want to host files yourself, you need a tracker, which is basically a central server coordinating the connections between peers. Vuze can provide a tracker too. (In general, most users never use their own tracker, as most torrents are tracked by a few major trackers.)

You will find, as you discover its functionality, that it is easy to customize your copy of Vuze to exactly fit your needs. This guide is targeting the Windows and Macintosh versions, although Vuze also supports other platforms.

Remote Protocol[edit]

The plugin supports a general JSON-based protocol and can therefore be used to control Vuze directly (as opposed to via the supplied HTML interface).

In the following examples the localhost address is used for your computer (127.0.0.1). If you are using this remotely then make sure you set a password up in the plugin’s configuration, either using the remote-pairing protocol (in which case the username is ‘vuze’ and the password is your access-code) or manually.

Requests are made by JSON encoding the request into the URL using the pattern:

Copy to Clipboard

http://127.0.01:9091/vuze/rpc?json={"method":"<method_name>","arguments":{<arguments>}}

For example, to list all the torrents in Vuze, and get their name and the identifier used in other calls to identify the torrents, use

Copy to Clipboard

http://127.0.0.1:9091/vuze/rpc?json={"method":"torrent-get","arguments":{"fields":}}

To start a torrent with id 123

Copy to Clipboard

http://127.0.0.1:9091/vuze/rpc?json={"method":"torrent-start","arguments":{"ids":}}

To download a torrent from a URL (http://vodo.net/media/torrents/The.Notorious.Newman.Brothers.2009.Xvid-VODO.torrent) and save it in a particular folder (C:\temp)

Copy to Clipboard

http://127.0.0.1:9091/vuze/rpc?json={"method":"torrent-add","arguments":{"filename":"http://vodo.net/media/torrents/The.Notorious.Newman.Brothers.2009.Xvid-VODO.torrent","download-dir":"C:\\temp"}}

The best documentation for what is supported is the code itself. This documents the various methods and their arguments (for example, what fields are supported on a torrent)

The RPC is mostly compatible with the Transmission RPC documented at https://trac.transmissionbt.com/browser/trunk/extras/rpc-spec.txt . Most remote uis that support connecting to Transmission will also connect to Vuze Web Remote.

Troubleshooting

  • I received a warning saying «Vuze did not shutdown tidily». What does that mean?
  • What does the error message «Removal Action Vetoed» mean?
  • Why do I get error messages saying «Existing data file length too large»? This happens especially for my MP3 music files.
  • Why do I lose internet connectivity after a while when using Vuze? Using bittorrent stresses your network hardware. Check information about bad routers.
  • What do I need to know about Java (to avoid 100% CPU usage etc.)?
  • Why are my Speed settings changing constantly?
  • How do I Copy Vuze to new computer‎?

If you feel that you have a problem, see Troubleshooting section for help.

Release 5.5.0.0 Issues[edit]

Linux UI Issuesedit

UI components fail to draw correctly

5500 required an update to SWT to version 4508 to function properly. There are two versions of GTK at large, the older GTK2 (which Vuze has worked with for a long time) and the newer GTK3. Unfortunately there are major issues with GTK3 and Vuze at the moment (the sidebar doesn’t draw correctly, SWT Group items don’t render, the ‘open-torrent-dialog’ is a mess). So for the moment at least we force GTK2 via a new directive in the startup script:

If you are having issues please ensure that your SWT is version 4508 (check Help->About) and that your startup script has this entry (this should automatically be added on upgrade)

This has resolved problems for some users but there are outstanding problems with CentOS 6.6 + metacity

http://forum.vuze.com/Thread-Vuze-5-5-UI-Issue

Vuze crashes when opening dialogs (such as the open-torrent dialog)

If you are using ‘Oxygen GTK’ see http://forum.vuze.com/Thread-Vuze-5-5-0-0-crashin-when-adding-torrent-file for a work around.

Installing Vuze on Linux[edit]

Install from a Repository Versionedit

CAUTION: Using repository versions of Vuze can cause problems, as they are usually modified to some extent. E.g. Ubuntu modifies their version. Repositories will often not have the latest version of Vuze, however they should contain a version known to be stable. If you want to ensure that you get the latest version, see the section on installing manually.

From Synaptic (graphical package manager):edit

(LinuxMint,Ubuntu,Debian | .deb-installation-like)

Note: To find Vuze in Synaptic, your repositories must be correctly configured. If you cannot find Vuze, consult the documentation for your distribution or use the section on installing manually.

  1. Start Synaptic Package Manager from your Linux desktop Menu. Its exact location will depend on your setup but it is generally under «Administration» or «System».
  2. Enter your password when prompted.
  3. Look up the Vuze package maintained by your distribution by typing «Vuze» into the search bar.
  4. Mark the checkbox to the left of the package for installation.
  5. Click on the Apply button in the toolbar at the top of the window.
  6. Another pop-up window will appear to notify you of all the changes that will be made, what will be downloaded, installed and sometimes removed or upgraded. Click the «Apply» button to start the installation.
  7. Once Synaptic downloads the necessary files, the installation will begin with no further user input needed.
  8. Close Synaptic once the installation is complete.
  9. You can now launch Vuze from the menu. Depending on your system it could be under «Internet», «Network» or «Accessories».

From a Terminal with Aptitude:edit

(LinuxMint,Ubuntu,Debian | .deb-installation-like) —shall work as described bellow— :

Note: To install Vuze with Aptitude, your repositories must be correctly configured. If Aptitude cannot find Vuze, consult the documentation for your distribution or use the section on installing manually.

Open a terminal window and run the following commands. If you don’t know how to open a terminal window, consult the documentation for your distribution.

Copy to Clipboard

 sudo apt-get update

Copy to Clipboard

 sudo apt-get install vuze

Be aware :

The «sudo» command which grants installation rights might not be available in your distribution. If it is not, consult your distribution’s manual to determine how to run commands as root.

Installation problems may be a result of the way Java is configured on your system. For more information, see Java.

Manual install from Vuze websiteedit

Note: x86 and x86_64 tested PPC should be the same.

  1. Download platform source file from download page http://www.vuze.com/download (or https://sourceforge.net/projects/azureus/files/vuze/ )
  2. Place Azureus_(version)_Linux-(platform).tar.bz2 in directory where you want to install Vuze

    Copy to Clipboard

    cp Azureus_(version)_Linux-(platform).tar.bz2 /directory/to/install/in/.
  3. Untar the file

    Copy to Clipboard

    tar -xjf Azureus_(version)_Linux-(platform).tar.bz2
  4. Make sure you have Java in your path if necessary

    Copy to Clipboard

    export PATH=/path/to/java/bin:$PATH
  5. Change to that directory

    Copy to Clipboard

    cd vuze
  6. Run script

    Copy to Clipboard

    ./vuze
  7. Follow setup directions

To go further with system integration:

Note: If you wish to add Vuze to your /usr/bin directory you need to redirect it with a script, like below, rather than linking it.

This script will add Vuze to your /usr/bin directory and provide integration with the system app launcher. Replace «/path/to/vuze» by your path to vuze file.

Copy to Clipboard

 printf '%s\n' '#!/bin/bash' '/path/to/vuze "$@"' | sudo tee /usr/bin/vuze
 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/vuze
 echo -e "\nNoDisplay=false\n" >> vuze.desktop
 sudo cp vuze.png /usr/share/pixmaps/
 sudo cp vuze.torrent.png /usr/share/pixmaps/
 sudo cp vuze.schemas /usr/share/pixmaps/
 sudo cp vuze.desktop /usr/share/applications

Debug Procedure[edit]

If you want to file a bug report please include the hs_err_pid<nnn>.log file.
  1. Check hs_err_pid<nnn>.log files, these may be in the Vuze program directory or in %user%\local\temp. These files are created by java system as java crash logs. It is possible that it will help you identifying the cause of the crash.
    The key part is looking for the java/DLL call stack thread leading to the crash. There should be something like:

    JRE version: 6.0_15-b03
    Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (14.1-b02 mixed mode, sharing windows-x86 )
    Problematic frame:
    C Flash.ocx+0x54377
    In the example’s case the crash is caused by Adobe Flash player (used for displaying Vuze media browsing experienece through embedded IE components.)
  2. Identify the failing DLL. Consider removing the problematic application to see if that would help.

Introduction[edit]

If you have received the error message «Vuze did not shutdown tidily» after you intentionally turned your computer off, you might read the article about possible reasons for that message.

The current article is more focused on the case, where Vuze disappears in the middle of your computer session.

If you find that Vuze keeps crashing, it may be because something is wrong with Vuze, or something external is making it crash. Look at the suggestions below first to see if any of the below applications are causing Vuze to crash. Otherwise, you can search and post in the forum (attaching the debug logs will also be useful).

IP Filters options[edit]

This allows you to block connections to specified addresses. You might do this to avoid known organizations or nodes that are behaving in ways you may not find beneficial.

Note: The old Safepeer plugin is incompatible and obsolete with current Vuze versions. The built-in IP Filters functionality has replaced the need for the plug-in. Please read Safepeer_Migration.

The options available here:

  • Enable switches on the filtering by Azureus of IP addresses. That means you can enter a range of IPs that you don’t want to have access to your computer (which will mean all other IPs will have access except the ones that you specify).
  • ALLOW which enables you to enable only specific IP addresses all others with be blocked.
  • Save blocked IP … means you don’t have to type the specific IP each time Vuze is started.
  • Block peers that … adds the address of any sources of bad data to the block list. Associated options enable fine-tuning of the blocking rules.
  • Ban a block … allows that once a few bad addresses are blocked in a small range then the range will also be blocked.

You can acquire standard blocklists. Otherwise you can add an IP address or ranges of addresses along with a description for that specific range.

Copying[edit]

The copy process varies quite a lot from the source OS — destination OS combination. Simplest is to copy to identical OS, as paths can remain the same.

Note. since version 4703 Vuze has a Backup And Restore feature that can be used to copy configuration data from one install to another.

Typical process goes:

  1. Install Vuze to the new system. Check that it works. Possibly install the extra plugins you have been using.
  2. Copy the downloaded files.
  3. Optionally copy settings (but not ‘downloads.config’ and ‘active’). Use Vuze GUI to check all the file paths related options and set paths correctly (e.g. the default download directory).
  4. Import torrents and point them to the copied downloaded files, so that downloading/seeding continues. Several methods can be applied:

Import torrents one by one. Read How do you resume and Seed an existing file articles. If you have no other copies of the .torrent files, you can use the ‘active’ subdirectory’s .DAT files from the old system.

If paths are identical in old and new system, also regarding the location of the Windows user profile (e.g. C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Azureus in Vista and Windows 7), you can try to directly copy all settings, including ‘downloads.config’ and contents of ‘active’.

Even if the paths are different, you may still try to copy ‘downloads.config’ and contents of ‘active’. When Vuze then launches next time, it should show all the torrents, but will fail to find the downloaded files and will give you errors for each torrent. You should be able to recover each torrent by pointing it to the correct path: There should be the option to «Change Data Directory» in the torrent’s context menu. See Torrent health#Data missing.

Steps 1, 2 and also 3 are pretty straightforward, but step 4 is the challenge.

Notes:

  • Copying settings from XP to Vista/7 causes all paths to change, as the user profile changes place. Same naturally between Linux-Mac-Windows.
  • Vista and 7 have identical path structures, so copying betwen them should be easy.
  • After copying the settings, but before starting Vuze in the new system, use Ultima’s BencodeEditor to edit the .config files and correct all the paths. It is a rather easy and handy tool to edit files that are encoded with «bencoding» like Vuze’s .config files and all .torrent files. http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=31306 . You should be able to go through the config files and manually change all path options to new OS paths. (Or just delete the options with old paths, and let new Vuze to re-generate the options to new defaults in the first launch.)

Fixing changed paths:If you want to import your previous configuration, torrents and downloads on a new computer, but the paths to the downloads have changed and there are too many downloads to fix manually, you can change the paths by using an automated process. This will involve a «search» of the old path and «replace» with the new path using a binary search and replace utility. The key rule to follow here is that the length of the old and new paths have to be exactly the same number of characters or the config will become corrupt. This will work for changing drive letters or where you can control and rename the target directory (to adjust its path length as needed). I have used a utility called «FileBinReplace» to change all paths from drive D: to E: . The relevant command line commands could be:

  • FileBinReplace.exe *.config D:\Downloads\ E:\Downloads\
  • FileBinReplace.exe active\*.dat D:\Downloads\ E:\Downloads\

Anonymous Tracker Server[edit]

Public Clientsedit

Public clients are ?normal? clients in the sense that they publish their normal IP addresses to the tracker. Therefore peer-peer data communication takes place through the internet, not Tor, and is not anonymous.

Configurationedit

Given the above general discussion it should be fairly obvious how to configure an anonymous tracker. Note that there is no requirement here to make outward connections from the tracker through the Tor proxy, so no proxy configuration is required.

Toredit

Add the hidden service for the tracker, for example

Copy to Clipboard

HiddenServiceDir /Tor/bttracker
HiddenServicePort 6969 127.0.0.1:10069

to the configuration file and start Tor (see below)

Azureusedit

Extract the hidden service name from the ?hostname? file for the ?bttracker? service (in the above example this is in /Tor/bttracker/hostname ), e.g.

Copy to Clipboard

k61234567895ivw.onion

and enter this as the ?tracker external IP address? under the tracker server configuration. If a port other than 6969 has been selected as the local port for the tracker then this also needs to be configured ? in the above example this will need to be set to 10069.

The tracker can still be configured to run over HTTPS (SSL) and be password protected if required.

Note that the tracker will be running as normal on port 10069 (in this example) and will thus be contactable externally via normal tracker protocols. Therefore it is essential to block this port to prevent public access, either by firewall or router configuration.

Anonymous Clientsedit

Here the tracker supports anonymous peer data, and to do so the peers publish their own hidden services to the tracker. Because these are non-resolvable DNS names the tracker needs to be configured to use the original form of the announce protocol. This supports the passing of non-resolved names to the client (as opposed to the more recent ?compact? protocol that returns resolved IP addresses only).

The diagram here is as for the ?totally anonymous BitTorrent above?

Toredit

Configure as above for public peers

Azureusedit

Configure the tracker server not to support the compact protocol.

Torrent Creationedit

Given the tracker address configured above, the ?create Torrent? wizard will by default have the correct announce URL for the tracker (in the above example http://k61234567895ivw.onion:6969/announce).

Install the Tor Browser Bundle and browse to, for example, http://k61234567895ivw.onion:6969/.

Views

Since version 3.0.3.4 the Vuze GUI has replaced the traditional Azureus application interface.

The Vuze interface in the 4.7 version:

The sidebar acts as the main menu showing the active pages. The active torrents are displayed through Library (and its subsets New and Downloading). Vuze HD Network offers a browseable limited directory of available torrents, and you can also search the open internet for new torrents. There are also separate sections for Devices, Subscriptions and for each active plugin.

The upper panel shows the downloading torrents, and the bottom panel the completed seeding torrents. New users are initially shown the «Simple view», which shows only a limited amount of information per torrent. You can change that to «Advanced view», which enables you to see more information. Contents of the most table views can be modified through Column setup dialog.

There is also a filter bar, which can be used to filter the shown torrent by typing the wished part of the torrent name(s).

The MyTorrents view can be seen as the main view of the traditional «classic» Azureus interface, through Vuze’s options. MyTorrents in the 4.5 version:
