The first version of the Java based BitTorrent client Azureus was released in June 2003, and soon became popular among the early adopters of BitTorrent. Over the years, Azureus turned into one of the most feature-rich clients, backed by a dedicated team of developers and an active community. Early 2007 the transition began towards creating an all-in-one application called Vuze for finding, playing and sharing great content, that goes beyond the realm of just a BitTorrent client.

What is Vuze?

Vuze is an online entertainment platform that allows you to watch, publish and share original DVD & HD quality video. You can discover high-quality entertainment by browsing through channels and categories containing thousands of TV shows, music videos, movies, video games and more. And if you’d like to publish your original content, you can monetize it the way you want and maintain complete control and flexibility.

What’s On Vuze?

HD & DVD quality video content from global television networks, premier production studios and maverick content creators from around the world.

• Share video with friends via email
• Rate and comment functionality
• Vuze embedded video player
• Fullscreen functionality
• Ability to post video to social sites via magnet links
• Browse content by category or channel
• Watch videos as they are downloading
• Automate downloads on recurring content with RSS feeds

Vuze is Social

With the release of version 3.1 Vuze introduced several new features.

One of the most drastic changes is the new social layer that has been added to the client. Vuze users are now able to add friends, share torrents with friends, and give friends a speed boost when you are downloading the same torrent. “We have started on a path of creating an all-in-one application that enables users to find, play and share torrents. In particular, we believe that by enabling users to share content and bandwidth through the “Friends” feature we are adding a completely new dimension to peer-to-peer - a new social dimension, or what we call ’social P2P’,” Gilles BianRosa, Vuze CEO.

The 3.1 Vuze version also introduced a new meta-search engine that allows you to search across several popular BitTorrent sites, in addition to content from Vuze.com. The search functionality is completely customizable, so you can add you personal favorite if it’s not already included.
