The more computers that are "seeding" the file, the more effective and efficient downloading is for each of them. Vuze uses the term "seeding" to describe this process. Instead of transferring a file from a single, central machine to all of the computers that are trying to download that file, torrenting allows all of the machines that contain parts of that file to send parts to other computers looking for the pieces of the file. TorrentsĪ torrent is the most effective way to quickly and reliably download large files, such as HD and DVD quality videos. The application is still actively developed, with its latest version, 4.7.2, released in September of 2012. Since the release of Vuze many new features have been added, Vuze Plus, Vuze To Go, and Vuze Remote are some of the most popular add ons.

This agreement puts restrictions on use, reverse-engineering, and sublicensing. Vuze has released upgraded versions of itself 4 times versions 1 and 2 are distributed under the GNU General Public License, as opposed to versions 3 and 4 which are still advertised under the GNU General public License but require users to agree to the terms of the "Vuze Platform". In 2006, the first version of Vuze was released replacing Azureus. Pitchford made it a tradition to use the Latin names of poison dart frogs to name his projects in the case of Azureus, the program is referencing dendrobates azureus, the famous blue dart frog of Panama. Tyler Pitchford, co-creator, named the program Azureus after the blue poison dart frog (Dendrobates azureus).
