People still use Azureus? Is there any compelling reason to use it over uTorrent?

A Java application will never be as fast or lightweight as a native app.

Azureus = 9.3MB
uTorrent = 263KB

Maybe for non-Windows users it's the best (all the Linux torrent clients I've used are pretty terrible) but for Windows it's bloated and slow. I haven't seen a peer using Azureus in ages.
Fast how exactly? Torrent speeds? Torrent speeds are definitely fast on Vuze or older Azureus versions.

It might not start instantly, it takes about 3 seconds to actually launch and get to the program because it is Java, but all the great features it has makes up for it. uTorrent is not bad by any stretch but last time I checked it lacked features.

For anyone with a computer over 1GB of RAM it definitely is fine.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-People-still-use-Azureus-21500451 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 11:18:32 EDT Re: People still use Azureus? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-People-still-use-Azureus-21493559 said by swhx7:

How many of those are the pre-sellout v.2.5, and how many are the later Vuze/Azureus?

Many users don't trust versions released after the maker got in bed with the Hollywood cartel.
They're still open source, and Hollywood doesn't really need to crawl into the code to see what's happening on the P2P networks (regardless of client), they're pretty open too.

Actually you'd be surprised. I'm not saying it's lightweight, cause i know full well it's not. But if you configure it properly(and patch TCP/IP since you're using winblows) and if you make sure DHT tracker is enabled, you're gonna get faster speeds then uTorrent guaranteed.

uTorrent supports DHT, so I doubt that's true. Unless you are referring to the DHT plugin that allows you to force DHT even when the tracker turns it off?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-People-still-use-Azureus-21490547 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 20:46:24 EDT Re: People still use Azureus? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-People-still-use-Azureus-21489534 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-People-still-use-Azureus-21489534 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 17:13:17 EDT Re: People still use Azureus? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-People-still-use-Azureus-21489052

yes, I use it. With mainline DHT plugin I have yet to meet a seemingly dead torrent I couldn't pull in.
+1. I recently installed the ONO plugin and have noticed an at least 30% increase in my d/l speeds. I currently average 500-600 Kb/s per torrent and some go as high as 1.3-1.8 Mb/s. Course having 15/2 un-throttled FiOS helps too. The graph show what is roughly 95% torrent(anime) traffic.

Azureus 74
BitLord 38
BitComet 22
uTorrent 2

and 22 connections from 8 other client types. That means Azureus accounts for 47% of all users out there, and I think this swarm is fairly typical. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-People-still-use-Azureus-21487173 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 10:03:21 EDT Re: People still use Azureus? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-People-still-use-Azureus-21487072 said by MysticGogeta:

uTorrent does a hell of a job on my machine.

When it's not being throttled by your ISP. Same here.

You're joking, right ?

Azureus/Vuze is the best torrent client out there in terms of features hands down. If you configure it properly no other client can come close to it in terms of speed especially on a non Windows platform.
