Download Vuze 4.8.0.0

Version 4.8.0.0 of Vuze has been released. This Java-written Bittorrent client, formerly known as Azureus, has among other things the ability to prioritize individual torrents or the individual files within a particular torrent. In addition, the program has a built-in tracker, so that sharing your own files is possible. Furthermore, the functionality of Vuze can be increased by means of plug-ins, such as for example with the Country Locator. In addition to the standard version, there is now also a plus version, which offers a virus scanner for 25 euros, as well as the option to burn CDs and DVDs, and to play media even before the complete download has been completed.
