Download Azureus 2.5.0.2

Yesterday a small update of the BitTorrent client Azureus, written in Java, was released in the form of version 2.5.0.2. Among other things, this program has the option to prioritize certain torrents or even individual files in a torrent and has a built-in tracker so that sharing files is also possible. In addition, the possibilities can be expanded even further by means of plugins, such as the Country Locator. At the moment only the Java archive can be downloaded as a torrent and the usual Windows binaries are not (yet) available. The changelog for this release shows the following changes:
