Azureus is a great utility that brings the popular Java-based BitTorrent client to a new level of stability, usability, and speed.

Very actively developed, this latest version includes a new split-window MyTorrents view with support for categories and advanced downloading / seeding / queuing rules for powerful and automated torrent management, a customizable user interface, seeding from read-only media, and significant reductions in resource usage.

The multiplatform Azureus client greatly extends the original python client’s feature set, with: managing multiple downloads at once from a single GUI window, detailed real-time download statistics with export to XML, advanced download and seeding management rules, configuration and torrent creation wizards, embedded tracker for easy and automated hosting of your own files, PeerGuardian IP address filtering, web browser and console UIs, 27 available languages, a powerful plugin interface, and much much more.

Here are some key features of “Azureus”:

· Multiple torrent downloads
· Upload and download speed limiting, both globally and per torrent
· Advanced seeding rules
· Adjustable disk cache
· Only uses one port for all the torrents
· UPnP sets the forward on your router
· Can use a proxy, for both tracker and peer communications
· Fast resume
· Can set a default download dir and move completed files
· Can import torrents automatically from a set dir
· Highly customizable interface
· IRC plugin included for quick help
· Embedded tracker, host your own torrents, automate your shares (periodic scanning of a dir)…
· Distributed Hash Table: host on it a completely decentralised torrent and/or benefit from it when the tracker is offline.

Many useful plugins are available:
· Auto-adjustment of your upload and download speeds according to your network charge with Autospeed
· Auto-download torrents with RSS Feed Scanner
· Schedule upload and download speed limits with Speed Scheduler
· Receive a mail when a download finishes with Status Mailer
