Azureus - now called Vuze - Bittorrent Client

Vuze (formerly Azureus) is a free BitTorrent client used to transfer files via the BitTorrent protocol. Vuze is written in Java, and uses the Azureus Engine. The Azureus engine is released under the GNU General Public License, and is free software. However, parts of the recently added Vuze platform carry more restricted licensing terms, and it is no longer possible to install the Azureus engine using the latest installer without first accepting the Vuze license.

The Blue Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates azureus) was chosen as the logo and named by co-creator Tyler Pitchford. This choice was due to Latin names of poison dart frogs being used as codenames for his development projects. In 2006 "Vuze" was released as an attempt to transform the client into a "social" client by a group of the original developers forming Azureus Inc., shortly to be renamed Vuze, Inc.

To install Vuze in Ubuntu, type the following in terminal.

sudo apt-get install vuze

  1. This functioned wonderful, happy I found your article!
    My ML-1210 is still chugging in addition to Windows 8 now.
    Just one adjustment though 9.61 appears to be the dimension (MB), not the model.
    The model is really 3.01.
