"CRAP! I would rather use the download helper on Firefox" Great Idea! for the search but it is very slow Too slow and runs the Pros at 100% IT really labored my Dell And I've got the 2.4 processor! which is normally pretty fast!2 Gigs of RAM So I shouldn't of had a problem.....BUT, they need to work on it some more.......

"download with a single click? this is a blstsnt lie" nothing at all overblown: misleading instructions. if this is for anyone its for nerds, geeks, whatever. Fr the average guy it's a pig's arse and largely incomprehensible.

"vuze is great" it is so easy to download and then to use even when your new to computers like me some times it doesn't close down properly with windows seven

"Still trying to operate it properly." Has nice features and options with regards to web applications. Not the most intuiative user interface for a end user just starting out; and some rather confusing control mechs. Don't like the control complexativity; or how unfriendly the user interface is for a beginner. I f you want moire people to use the syastem ;it will have to change it user ******** access to enable easier end user applications.

"To be honest I have not used this program." It downloade4d well and looks alright on the surface but as I have notused it I cannot advise whether it is good or bad I cannot pass an opinion.

Easy Just works Good details of downloads None that I found I'm not a regular torrent downloader (I'm too old) but sometimes I like to get something from the net. Vuzw seems to let me just click on a link in Pirate Bay or similar and then it arrives some time later. Vuze has plenty of complex things that I've played with but mostly I've stuck with the default settings it allocates. I have used a "speed scheduler" plugin that lts me download off-peak and not use up my download limits. When I started torrents I hopped onto wikipedia or similar to compare applications and Vuze seemed to offer everything I needed after comparing to other clients. I'm not really sure of what else is out in the market, but I see no reason to go looking. Overall I'm very happy with Vuze.

"good search results, has safety issues missing features" allows you to easily search for torrent files does not allow you to choose what files you want to download I like to see what files are being downloaded and often choose to not download anything extra besides the wanted file eliminating extra pictures or data files that can harm your computer. not a replacement for Utorrent but a good accessory to help find that 1 hard to find torrent

A bloated piece of junk.

"Great large file getter" So easy to use - and you find what you are looking for. It even has advice and some ability to work around ISP's who choke off your bandwidth. None really, you do have to know what you are doing with different file types, how to convert from one to another and probably have a player with added codecs to play some of the files, but this is to be expected

"Good and sofar safe downloads from various spots" Reasonably fast even with a fairly old pc, age and availability of torrents Found nothing yet Used it quite a few times and so far no complaints

"I love it! been using this program for awhile now!" It works great! Lets me view multiple torrent sites! So I have more more downloadable options from which to choose! I have none! Well I regularly download(at least once a wk) so this software is definitely a must 4 me! Ive tried others,,but always came back to Vuze!

It used to be a very good program in the past, but by now it is a heavy piece of bloatware.switching to the classic skin makes it look similar to the good old software that it was, but it is still less good than it was. I am now going to try other torrent clients.

its features are fine, but I hate java - slow and bloat

Bloatware. You're better off using Halite

I keep asking myself why a devoloper of software when it is populair destroys his own creation. That is very strange isn't it? When words like bloatware comes a long you just can forget about it or directly rewrite the source and come quickly back with a stable and fast update if you don't want to loose intrest in your tool.New features, ok, but do not trow away what users like in a piece of software.

"Fantstic, faboulous, nice" * downloading speed is fast *it does not have tags for grouping the torrent downloads

Very good plug-ins, can do almost anything with the interface, highly customizable, and yet easy to use. Some minor bugs exist, reports of compatibility issues, not enough instructions. Overall, Vuze is one of the best bittorrent apps avaliable. With the grouping of options into basic, intermediate, and advanced, it is suited for everyone from a first-time user of bittorrent technology to a seasoned network professional who wants to get the most out of his connection. Great features: Vuze is the most customizable of all the clients. There is an impressive collection of plug-ins avaliable for it, and using that, you can use this client for just about anything. You can choose how this application connects to the internet, weather to slow downloads if other programs are using the network, buffer size to control memory and processor usage, and even encryption and bind options. The search interface is OK, and with a vast user base, downloads from its content browser are always at maximum speeds. OK features: While Vuze is highly customizable, some of its features are a bit vague, and there is not enough explanations for some of its features. Detailed guides exist on its wiki, but I would like to see these guides integrated into the content browser, instead of having to launch your own browser to view them, which is more time consuming. Did not like: When its working, Vuze is great, but with constant upgrades and the recent makeover of just about everything, its incredibility buggy. A major problem is plug-in compatibility and the lack of a built-in option to undo recent changes in the user configuration. (A plug-in thats comes close does that, but not very well.) With so many advanced settings, finding out exactly what you changed that made Vuze stop working is a pain. In conclusion, Vuze is a great application for both beginners and advanced users, thanks to the grouping of options into modes. When properlly configured, Vuze is the fastest of all the bittorrent client

"I use it to download everything." Comes with a built in search system that is pretty effectiveSmooth, easy to use interface There really isn't anything that I have to say bad about it.
