Editors’ Review

Vuze is the free, full-featured reincarnation of the popular BitTorrent client Azureus, an app for finding and watching video content that you download via torrent files.

Vuze comes with several useful tools:

  • User Proficiency Settings: You can adjust the interface from Beginner to Advanced based on your experience.
  • Built-in Search and Video Player: Search for torrents right from the app and play videos without extra software.
  • Remote Control via Mobile App: Control your downloads from anywhere using the mobile app for Android.

Vuze shines with its easy-to-navigate dashboard that simplifies how you handle downloads. Key features include:

  • HD Video Player: It supports various video formats and lets you watch files right from the app.
  • IP Blocker: This feature improves security by blocking harmful IP addresses.
  • RSS Feed Support: This tool automatically downloads new content when it becomes available via RSS feeds.

For those looking to enhance Vuze's abilities, the tool supports the addition of plugins and extensions. This could range from scheduling tools to features that help identify fake torrents.

Compared with more traditional and utilitarian BitTorrent clients, Vuze has a much richer, iTunes-style interface--with as much attention devoted to finding and viewing videos as to downloading them. You can browse the "Vuze HD Network" for videos (although you'll find a lot of lower-grade Internet fare, like promos, trailers, and podcasts), or you can look around using a friendly, easy search interface (although much of the content you'll find is copyright protected, which Vuze warns you about). The download functionality is excellent and fast, with plenty of control over even esoteric settings--and it's easy to view technical minutiae for a torrent in Vuze's big visual interface. Vuze will also help you get video into your iTunes with a beta "Devices" feature, and even onto your Apple TV, iPhone, iPod, or other devices.

Bottom Line

For someone new to torrents, Vuze could be a great, easy introduction. If you're already familiar with using torrents and you're happy with your current client, you might not find enough here to inspire a switch.
