New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 5.4.0.1 Beta 35 (Nov 6, 2014)

  • Added ability to set a download’s share ratio. This is a locally maintained value and is not reported to trackers.
  • The share ratio is calculated directly from the amounts of data downloaded/uploaded for a torrent so to adjust the share ratio it is necessary to modify these values. To this end the amount downloaded is set to be the size of the download and then the amount uploaded is set to achieve the required share ratio (e.g. a share ratio of 0.5 will set the amount uploaded to half of the download size)
  • The intent behind this feature is principally to allow downloads ‘added for seeding’ to be configured in such a way as to play nicely with the seeding rules.
  • It is implemented via a new right-click menu item on the ‘Share Ratio’ column in the Library views.

  • Added an option to block local DNS resolution attempts for tracker hosts when using a SOCKS proxy (default =on)
  • Added a further option to permit plugin proxies to be used when an overall SOCKS proxy has been defined. The default value for this is to prevent plugin proxy use in order to be backward compatible. You will therefore need to change the option to permit them to work.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.1.3 Beta 15 (Feb 7, 2013)

  • The speed-limit handler scheduler can now be used to set network transfer limits - if these are exceeded Vuze will automatically pause all downloads (and resume them when the constraint is lifted).
  • To do this go to Tools->Speed Limits and select Schedule… Make sure you have "enable=yes" in the configuration and then add limits using the syntax "net_limit : can be ‘daily’ ‘weekly’ or ‘monthly’ can be total= - this applies to uploaded+downloaded data up= - upload specific limit down= - download specific limit is of the form

  • When you add a torrent file that already exists in your Library, and the new torrent has additional trackers in it, you will now be prompted with the option to merge the new trackers into the existing download.
  • You can now drag items from a UPnP Media Server either to a device (to make that content available on that device, or outside of Vuze (a playback URL is dragged)

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.1.3 Beta 7 (Jan 10, 2013)

  • The DNS TXT record processing is now disabled if a SOCKS proxy is in use to avoid DNS leaks.
  • No-longer valid network interface details are stored for a while so that still existing connections that have not yet disconnected are correctly categorised.

  • Some fixes to the UPnP Media Server browser component
  • General UPnP fix to support devices with multiple control URLs
  • Console UI now has a ‘show t dead [days]’ option to show dead seeding torrents (torrents that haven’t uploaded to anyone for [days] (default 7) of running - note this isn’t an elapsed time, it is a cumulative running time)

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.1.3 Beta 2 (Dec 21, 2012)

  • We have an updated Basque translation from Azpidatziak.
  • If you turn on non-simple device view (right-click on the Device Playback sidebar entry for the option to do this) the media servers now have a simple text view that shows the content of the media server. If this happens to be a media server on another copy of Vuze (well, in fact you can browse your own if you want) then a ‘Renderer’ will appear in the devices section of the Vuze running the media server. You can then either drag-and-drop files to this to make them visible to the other Vuze, or right-click and deselect ‘only show transcoded content’ to make all content visible.
  • Fixed support for ‘Escape’ closing the donation window.
  • Fixed column-setup window to work in Library views when files selected rather than downloads, also improved cell refresh.
  • Finally we now show Vuze (was Azureus) clients as ‘Vuze’ in the peer details (as opposed to ‘Azureus’)

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 22 (Dec 8, 2012)

  • Added an option to automatically accept SSL certificates after users reporting that the current prompt to install is rendering HTTPS trackers unusable.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 20 (Nov 30, 2012)

  • We bring you ‘pause for’ (or ‘auto-resume-after’) which allows you to pause downloads for a period and have Vuze auto-resume when the time is reached

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 19 (Nov 29, 2012)

  • Various minor fixes in the area of incomplete file suffixes, do-not-download folders, on-completion file moving etc - please report anything odd you notice in this area (e.g. files going into ‘data missing’ state on completion or re-downloading file parts)

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 17 (Nov 29, 2012)

  • Some small features in this beta - you can enable the display of Vuze’s uptime in the library header area by right-clicking there and enabling it; if you have more than one item selected in a library view then the number of selected items will be shown in the library header.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 16 (Nov 27, 2012)

  • Removed the ‘do not download’ directory name from the Library ‘name’ column where applicable and fixed a bug regarding the creation of empty directories on download removal.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 15 (Nov 27, 2012)

  • Added option under Tools->Options->Files to put ‘do not download’ files in a subdirectory of the download directory, enabled by default. Feedback please…

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 13 (Nov 27, 2012)

  • Minor addition in this beta - added the option to specify that the IPv4 stack is to be preferred over the dual-stack implementation under Tools->Options->Connections->Advanced…
  • Some users appear to be having issues with the presence of non-routing IPv6 addresses in their systems and the Java 7 dual stack implementation causing connection failures, hopefully enabling this will fix the issue by forcing any IPv4 route to be considered.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 11 (Nov 17, 2012)

  • Added option to tracker client config to enable the tracker DNS record processing to be disabled - there have been reports of this causing rare network-level crashes on windows systems.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 10 (Nov 14, 2012)

  • A status icon has been added to give feedback when explicit bind IPs have been configured - it attempts to tell you if peer connections are being routed as required.
  • Tooltip details show the currently bindable addresses, whether force-binding is enabled and then details of the current connections, both incoming and outgoing. Wildcard addresses are shown as ‘*’

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 9 (Nov 13, 2012)

  • This beta includes some basic logic to try and spot when you are running over a VPN and prompts you to explicitly bind to its interface to increase privacy.
  • Console UI now supports a 'create torrent' command.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 8 (Nov 10, 2012)

  • It can be useful to see how your network connections are being routed - this beta introduces a new tab on the ‘Transfers’ view in the statistics.
  • It is not always possible to deduce routes (for UDP messages for example where you haven’t explicitly bound an interface), in this case the ‘wildcard’ * is shown.
  • If you are using a SOCKS proxy then outgoing TCP connections routed through SOCKS will also be shown as such.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 7 (Nov 8, 2012)

  • Fixed a SOCKS proxying bug with local UPnP services
  • Prevented the auto-hiding of some devices that should never be auto-hidden.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 6 (Nov 7, 2012)

  • Added a status bar icon to show SOCKS connections status when one is defined:
  • Changed the torrent creation wizard to allow over-write of the created torrent file and added a ‘browse to torrent’ button on the last panel.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 5 (Nov 3, 2012)

  • Some rework on SOCKS proxy support in this beta.
  • Firstly the detection of proxy server errors and switching to alternatives has been significantly improved. This is coupled with a new ‘alternative DNS’ configuration that allows different proxy servers to potentially be located for people with default DNS resolution issues.
  • Lastly the ‘Transfers’ tab of the statistics view has been modified to include SOCKS status.
  • The ‘More…’ link opens a window detailing individual proxy server status.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 4 (Nov 1, 2012)

  • If you want to route your network traffic through a particular network interface, as opposed to letting your OS’s routing algorithms decide for you, you configure this via Tools->Options->Connection->Advanced Network Settings (under ‘bind to local IP or interface’). A typical scenario is when you have a VPN connection. A PPP based on might well be represented in your system by an interface named ‘ppp0’ and could therefore enter this here. A new option has been added to check that the interface is present when you start Vuze - a warning will be raised if it is not found. This can help diagnose problems that occur if the VPN isn’t connected.
  • If you want to ensure that traffic is only ever routed over that interface you would also select the option further down the page named ‘enforce IP bindings…’. There was previously a bug whereby if you selected this option but then failed to specify any interfaces to bind to Vuze would effectively fail to route the connections at all. It was not at all obvious why the connections were failing so the behavior has been changed to log a warning in this case and ignore the ‘enforce’ request.
  • The ability to explicitly test a SOCKS connection from the configuration screen has also been added and a few bugs fixed around error reporting and detection.
  • Another bug has been fixed regarding the right-click upload-speed menu in the status icon, this was sometimes missing.
  • An idea suggested access to the download link used to access a torrent is useful. Whilst this is not always knows (if you download a torrent file to your hard drive and then add it from there for example) where it is a new menu option gives you access (and a magnet link otherwise).

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 3 (Oct 30, 2012)

  • Sometimes you might want to know the contents of a torrent file without loading it into Vuze as a download - a simple viewer has been added to Vuze under the existing Help menu’s Advanced section. One thing this lets you do is find the hash for a torrent file. This can be of use if you want to use the new feature added to the Swarm Discoveries (version 0.1.8) sidebar entry to look up related content directly from a hash and you are starting from a torrent file.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.1 Beta 2 (Oct 27, 2012)

  • Automatically quit or shut down when transcoding finishes, not just when downloads or seeding finishes - This idea asks for some 'when transcoding completes' options (e.g. shutdown the computer) - this sounds like a good electricity saving idea so has been implemented in B02. There is now a right-click menu option on the sidebar's 'Device Playback' entry to select the action to be taken. This is not persisted across restart so you need to explicitly activate the behavior when you require it.
  • There is also a new version of the Swarm Discoveries plugin (0.1.7) for beta users that adds menu items to the Library's New views.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.8.0.0 (Oct 25, 2012)

  • Swarm Discoveries
  • The RSS Feed plugin now can filter on min+max file types and also has a 'copy-filter' function [Parg+Community]

  • Added plugin install and uninstall buttons to the plugin configuration view [Parg]
  • The previous release disabled IPFilters for Vuze update torrents, this has been reverted [Parg]
  • Plugin views now listed in View menu [TuxPaper]
  • 64 bit support [TuxPaper]
  • Absolute ETA display now separately configurable for ETA and Progress column [Parg]
  • Ignore temporary 'incomplete' suffix when showing file types [Parg]
  • Updated Catalan translation [GosGroc]

  • Fix sidebar entries for categories not updating numbers [TuxPaper]
  • Fix sort column not refreshing sometimes [TuxPaper]
  • Added some double buffering to fields that were flickering on update [Parg]
  • Fixed UI hang under some multi-select conditions [Parg]
  • BUGFIX: Plug | Transcoding was sometimes reporting 'no disk space' errors instead of the actual error [Parg]

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.2.7.1 Beta 18 (Oct 24, 2012)

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.2.7.1 Beta 16 (Oct 22, 2012)

  • Fixed null-pointer exception in torrent serialisation logic

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.2.7.1 Beta 15 (Oct 20, 2012)

  • Decrease the size of the serialized torrents from the new torrent creator when there are a significant number of file links.
  • Small changes to swarm discoveries limits.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.2.7.1 Beta 14 (Oct 19, 2012)

  • Minor fix for some result parsing from search templates.
  • Added plugin install and uninstall buttons to plugin options under Tools->Options->Plugins as this seems a good place to have them (as well as under the Tools->Plugins menu)
  • Reverted the IPFilter behavior for Vuze component update torrents - when per-torrent IPFilter enabling was introduced the logic implemented excluded update torrents from having filters applied (in case someone had added a Vuze server IP to a blocklist).

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.2.7.1 Beta 12 (Oct 17, 2012)

  • There's a new version of the Vuze Transcoder plugin available to beta testers that fixes an incorrect error reporting issue and also has a profile for the iPhone 5.
  • The iTunes plugin also has a new Windows version to support running Vuze as a 64-bit application.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.2.7.1 Beta 11 (Oct 13, 2012)

  • We’ve had the ability to set certain options on multiple torrents at the same time (for example, upload speed limits) for a while, however a number of people have asked to also be able to see aggregated statistics for a selection of torrents. For example, what is the combined size of the torrents in my download queue? What is the aggregated share ratio for torrents on a particular tracker? This beta extends the options view with an aggregated information view. The right-click option on category buttons/sidebar entries will take you to the updated view for the current torrents assigned to that category. Right-clicking on a selection of torrents in a Library view can also be used. The extended view currently contains the current information.
  • Next up we have an extension to the ‘quick view’ feature (introduced in B05) that allows you to preview the file names and details contained in a .RAR archive file. This allows you to check out what you’re downloading quickly rather than having to wait for the download to complete. In particular password protected entries (and file names with the word ‘password’ in them) are highlighted so you know up front that the contents have been protected for some reason. The analysis proceeds asynchronously with file details being reported to the quick view window as they are discovered.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.2.7.1 Beta 10 (Oct 11, 2012)

  • A few users have requested a feature to prevent computer sleep while streaming content to a device (one of these being an idea on vote.vuze.com). For Windows and OSX users there are now options to do this both when transcoding and during streaming playback. The latter of these is available via an update to the ‘Media Server’ plugin - this will be available shortly after this beta is published.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.2.7.1 Beta 9 (Oct 10, 2012)

  • A few minor performance enhancements in this beta along with a new version of the RSS Feed Scanner plugin that supports file min+max sizes and a convenient 'copy filter' function to make filter creation easier (both these features were community requested or supplied).
  • There's also a new version of Swarm Discoveries that fixes a few bugs and includes a 'hash search' function in the right-click menu for discoveries.
  • Also included is an updated Catalan translation

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.2.7.1 Beta 8 (Oct 6, 2012)

  • So ‘date’ columns have a default format for displaying their contents. There’s a way to change the date format used for all ‘table views’ via Tools->Options->Interface->Tables. Great, but what if for a certain column you want to specify an alternative? For example, one user requested that he’d like an HH:mm format for the ETA column. This beta adds per-column custom date formats.
  • Other things in this beta include a fix for a hang when selecting table rows under some conditions along with a fix for a race condition when auto-transcoding files from an RSS feed.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.2.7.1 Beta 7 (Oct 3, 2012)

  • A couple of minor things in this beta - firstly there's a new Library view column to show torrent creation date
  • As with other date columns this will obey a custom date format if specified in Tools->Options->Interface->Tables.
  • Secondly, after some feedback, the ‘file type’ column has been changed so that when the ‘use temporary suffix for incomplete downloads’ option is enabled (you know, the one that by default adds ‘.az!’ to the end of incomplete files) it isn’t this that is displayed as the file type but rather the real file type.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.2.7.1 Beta 6 (Oct 2, 2012)

  • This beta sees the introduction of ‘Swarm Discoveries’, a way to discover content that is in some way related to things you have already downloaded. This also includes ‘Swarm Search’ to allow easy searching of this related content. The feature is entirely driven by the decentralized database cloud of Vuze clients and is automatic.
  • There is a new sidebar entry - to start using Swarm Discoveries and Search click on the corresponding entry to see the welcome page. If enabled you will see Swarm search results/
  • A few minor UI glitches have been fixed - flickering removed from the General torrent view and the buttons aligned correctly in the Column Setup dialog.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.2.7.1 Beta 5 (Sep 29, 2012)

  • One of the more popular ideas is the introduction of a simple way to prioritize and auto-open descriptive files in torrents such as .nfo and .txt files - an initial implementation is available in this beta.
  • Library views have a new advanced menu option
  • File views have a top level menu
  • These features are not persisted over a restart of Vuze.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.2.7.1 Beta 4 (Sep 27, 2012)

  • Some feedback from the initial implementation of the absolute ETA idea has lead to a few changes in this beta: the selection of this mode for the Progress column and the ETA column are now independent. Also if you define a custom date format in the Table options this will be used (plus a bug was fixed that was causing the date truncation algorithm to mess up occasionally).
  • Preventing computer sleep options have been extended to include Mac OSX - previously it was Windows only.
  • A bug has been fixed that was causing some transcode processes to be flagged as ‘terminating permaturely’ when in fact they completed successfully.
  • An issue with the redrawing of columns that are being used to sort tables has been fixed.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.2.7.1 Beta 3 (Sep 22, 2012)

  • The multi-tracker editor now has an ‘edit as text’ button that allows you to specify the trackers in a textual format
  • A right-click menu has been added to the tracker rows in the Sources tab in the Detailed download view
  • From any Library view there is the right-click menu: Advanced->Tracker/Torrent->Edit Tracker URL(s)
  • Advanced->Tracker/Torrent->Add Tracker URL(s) has also been enhanced to take multiple comma separated trackers for a simple ‘add’ command.

New in Vuze (Azureus) Bittorrent Client 4.2.7.1 Beta 2 (Sep 21, 2012)

  • The 'start Vuze on login' has been updated to work with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
  • The “CTRL+HOME” keyboard shortcut doesn't work bug has been fixed.
  • Some work that is being undertaken over the next few snapshots is the introduction of a 'reduced resource' startup-mode for Vuze. The idea here is to make running Vuze on login use as little resource as possible. Once this is implemented we'll look at switching into and out of this mode during normal running. When this mode is enabled Vuze will startup minimized and without creating the user-interface, it will only use UDP based network connections and the DHT will be in a sleeping mode (for example) - opening the Vuze UI will kick it out of this mode (as will other operations such as adding a torrent). If you want to play around with this look at Tools->Options->Startup&Shutdown and make sure your mode is intermediate or above.
