Used to be a great torrent downloader - however, recent versions are loaded with bloat and adware as well as suspected malware. I no longer trust this software and have switched to a more lightweight client which does everything I need.
I used azureus back when it was still actually free, open source software. Since it became Vuze, it has morphed into ad-bloated crap with piggyback installers. An unobtrusive corner ad I can deal with, but directing people to BUY the premium version to lose the worst of the worst annoying video ads ever. Azureus was great, and as a bittorrent client it still performs well. Frankly it no longer belongs here on Sourceforge. tl;dr NOT OPENSOURCE, FREE VERSION SUCKS
This is great app.
Jul 6, 2017 - Which BitTorrent client should you use for downloading torrents on a Mac? Instead, you click on a magnet link in a website, and your default torrent app will. If uTorrent has gotten back into our favour, Vuze has lost it.
