I still use Vuze. I never see ANYONE mention it. But I've used it for near 15 years.
Is there like any advantage of vuze over something more mainstream like qbitorrent?
I was on µTorrent for a long time on a really old build (like 2.2.1) because it got even more bloated and crappy with every new release, especially over 3.0. I realized, aside from missing new features and stuff, it was probably a security risk being that far behind. I made the switch to qBittorrent and never looked back. It basically took everything I liked about that old style build of µTorrent and brought it into modern times.
No idea. It's just what I've always used. It does what I need it to, so. Woo
What’s Vuze?
I think originally it was called Azureus.
A torrent client.
They still got the little blue frog?
Yes.
Right on... +1 for nostalgia
Thats hilarious. Is it still super bloated?
Idk, never really noticed anything. It dies what I need it to and that's it.
If it dies that's it alright.
It is closed source though. Qbittorrent is a very strong rival in torrent downloaders. It is well maintained, with free license, and omniplatform
