Quit whining about Azureus and start using Transmission.

i would like to remind all you people out there who are complaining about the new interface that they can easily switch back to the old interface… it took me about a minute to find the option. the plus side of doing this is you get the advantages of new bug fixes that come out with the newer versions. the new interface is simply a waqy for the creators of vuze (azureus) to attract a different demographic then those who are more computer literate.

all you have to do to change your interface is to go to tools: options
then interface: start
and itsd the last option choose interface

Staples that was easy

I understand all your complaints about the new Vuze interface and I agree 100% is blows. But that’s not all. Simply going into the interface settings and changing that doesn’t fix the fact that Vuze LOCKS UP MY ROUTER IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTUP WITH ACTIVE TORRENTS. Dood? WTF? I have to physically unplug my router and plug it back in! I look in the security log before I reboot it and it is FILLED with IP SPOOFING ALERTS. I’m not turning off my firewall just so Vuze will work. Uninstalled Vuze, and sifted through the developers site to find the version 2.5.0.4. You can get the old version here: http://sourceforge.net/project....._id=215453

I installed that choose the advanced option and of course as soon as it starts up it wants to update, I clicked cancel then went into: tools->options->interface->start and unselected the top for check boxes for splash screen, check for updates on start, periodically check for updates, and automatically load the update assistant when an update is available.

Now, downloading my Naruto and Bleach episodes at over 900K (yes almost 1 megabyte per second) and my router doesn’t have one complaint about IP spoofing from the WAN.

What the hell did they break in the Azureus engine itself that can cause my router to lock up? That’s fucked up. (Belkin wireless G ver. 5000)

Hey people that are working on this vuze, get ahold of a Belkin wireless G ver. 5000 and watch it HARD LOCK in about 5 seconds after torrents start going.

Oh well, I’ll never stop using azureus 2.5.0.4.

Vuze is incredibly crappy. Super slow and unnecessary things. Download speeds bottomed from 250-300 kbps to 30-40 kbps. Tried all possible settings but NO LUCK. All we want is a torrent interface, Good ol’ Azureus is really awesome. Reverting back to 2.5 !!

I dumped “Vuze” when all my downloads slowed to a crawl and no amount of tweaking would improve or fix the problem. I had three downloads that slowed to 2.5kb/s and stayed that way for a week. As soon as I switched to utorrent they picked up to between 95 and 250 kb/s.

Azeurus did not need improving, it worked fine. This new Vuze is shite…

TO SEE THESE OPTIONS THAT I MENTIONED ABOVE, YOU need to be in ADVANCED MODE.

Tools->Options
Look under Mode, set it to ADVANCED!!!

Hi guys,

I hated the Vuze stuff too. TRY THIS:

TO COMPLETELY REMOVE VUZE AND GET THE GOOD OLD AZUREUS BACK DO THE FOLLOWING:

From inside the program:
Tools->Options
Interface->Start
Click the “Show” button, you may have to scroll to see it.

Choose CLASSIC INTERFACE and get rid of this VUZE s*** FOR GOOD!

W00T W00T!

iHATE VUZE. It is not customizable regarding content, and has nothing redeeming in quality of content. look up Alternet.org THE GIRLS IN BIKINI’S IS A LOAD OF CRAP, THEY NEVER TAKE THEIR CLOTHES OFF! WE HAVE KIDS IN THE HOME AND CAN’T USE ANY AZUREUS 3.? BECAUSE THE VUZE VIDEO INTERFACE IS NOT CUSTOMIZABLE. IT CLAIMS TO ALLOW YOU TO X OUT MATURE CONTENT, THEN IT JUST SHOWS GIRLS IN BIKINI’S TRYING TOO HARD, OR A CARTOON CHARACTER WITH A GUN TO HIS HEAD! Vuze is disgusting/disturbing to say the least. I like to support Open Source projects, but I CAN’T SUPPORT VUZE! Yes, most videos are HD, but c’mon, — are you soooo Lame that you can’y search out HD videos to download with Azureus–without Vuze?

I agree that the new vuze doesnt work well at all
It just slows everything down

But i have a question and maybe someone can help me out

How do you select whether or not to seed the torrents that you have already downloaded?
Is there a way to dissallow seeding from azureus?

Thanks for the help in advance!
