While a file is downloading, right click and click Show Details. Excessive usage on one port, like for example, using more than one torrent at a time, could result in the health state changing on a torrent.Ĥ.2. A lot of users report getting a yellow smiley all the time, but their torrents remain active and transfers keep going. After a download has started, usually it will go from gray to yellow and then after a little while to green if everything is OK. This feature proves to be quite useful as if for some reason a port becomes unreachable, then the smiley will change, whereas with other clients, you might just think that its slowing down and will speed up later, when really the problem may be with your port and not with the torrent or tracker. The pic I provided can be gotten with a single right click in the download list in Azureus.
Azureus shows the health of your connections using smiley's. As you can tell I've highlighted a few key things to check out which we will go into more depth during the rest of this page.Ĥ.1. The picture at right is an example of a brand new, just started download, of a very large file, over 18 GB to be exact.
After you have built up a lot of connections usually the downloads begin to speed up, as does your uploading. Usually the download would begin immediately and may be slow to start. The download will be added to the Azureus download list and immediately the tracker should begin connecting you to peers and seeds. You need to make sure you select Azureus.exe as the program to open the torrent file with and if isnt set already like that, browse to C:->Program Files->Azureus->Azureus.exe and hit Open With. All you have to do is find a link to a torrent file, click that link and a pop up will show up. To download files visit a torrent link site.

Vuze is generally an excellent P2P application that may be a bit more bloated than most but works well and has plenty to offer. For example, if you want to configure Vuze to work only with a VPN, you can do unlike uTorrent and Transmission. It takes some getting used to at first the upside is that it is much more customisable than most Mac P2P apps. It's far more bloated than other P2P clients such as uTorrent and Transmission. Vuze has a rather overwhelming interface as a result. These include gameshows, user generated content, sports and more. It looks like an entertainment website and that's pretty much what it is only the entertainment can be downloaded via Vuze. Possibly the most notable feature of Vuze, however, is the media website that's embedded into the application. Apparently, in a perfect world, every file should have a share ratio of two which means for each file you download, two users download it from you. You receive comprehensive stats about every file that's downloaded with Vuze (most of which will mean nothing to you though) but most importantly it gives you the all important Estimated Time of Arrival and Share Ratio which tells you how much of a particular file you have uploaded or given back to the community. On the upside, because Vuze is an open source project, there is a large community of programmers, designers and users who are continually testing and improving it and there's an excellent FAQ. Mainly the fact that Vuze is extremely bloated and tries to install two toolbars when you install it. There's no doubt that Vuze offers some spectacularly fast download times but this comes at a price. Vuze (formerly known as Azureus) is a bit-torrent client which follows a similar format to eMule but its makers claim it can offer significant improvements in terms of hits, download times and navigating available material.
