I don't need or want this other crap and Azureus was the most full-featuerd Bittorrent client around. But I didn't need anything beyond that.; Like this Reply to this comment

Basically would browse through a heap of thumbnails and the resulting downloads were usually copyrighted stuff that i could just have easily got from minivova.

Anyway I won?t bother with Vuze again. Content delivery is where the money is so this is not actually a surprise.

Shame on CNET. Isn't CNET and Download.com owned by CBS? So CBS Viacom is hereby endorsing an illegal download program. Awful entrapment scam. I feel sorry for all these poor people who will read this article and download episodes of CSI Miami and get life in prison all from this entrapment article. Death to CBS. F--- that **** Katie Couric too.; Like this Reply to this comment
