Azureus is a software application which uses java language to implement a bittorrent protocol.
One of the most notable features of Azureus is the instant access it provides to a plethora of information about your torrents. This information can be incredibly useful in keeping track of your downloads and ensuring that everything is running smoothly.
An embedded tracker is another recent addition to Azureus' growing list of features. This tracker is incredibly easy to set up and use, making it an excellent option for anyone who is new to the world of torrenting.
To run Azureus, users will need to have Java JRE (1.5) installed on their computer.
There have been several new features and changes made to Azureus in recent updates. For instance, a new user's default save directory is now located in their "My Documents" directory, while alerts raised during shutdown are now displayed on the next start.
Additionally, plugins can now be installed and placed in the plugin-shared "shared/lib" directory, while plugins are now able to open and close download bars.
Several changes have been made to Azureus, including a scrape delay for stopped or errored torrents, as well as torrents with high share ratios. Only one active scrape is now allowed for each tracker, and the software takes note of banned IPs when IP filter is turned off.
Finally, there have been several bug fixes made to Azureus. These include fixes to problems like the choke/unchoke cycle bug for land local peers, and the crash caused when opening a non-torrent URL when the OS has no recognized HTML viewer.
