Download Vuze 4.5.1.0

Wednesday version 4.5.1.0 of Vuze was released. This Java-written Bittorrent client, formerly known as Azureus, includes the ability to prioritize individual torrents and even 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 also has a virus scanner and the possibility to burn CDs and DVDs on board for 25 euros. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:
