![]() ![]() Turn the auto-update feature off by default. The downside of this solution is that if a users wants to stick with the ubuntu version (which should be the normal situation) he will have to manually delete his ~/.azureus directory. Otherwise some users will find themselves downgraded to 3.1.1.0 possibly losing settings and features. If this is true, the azureus updater will be disabled by default but if the new version has already been downloaded we have to let the upgrade complete successfully. Verified that the update was successful and that azureus starts up as the new version. Installed 3.1.1.0 through package management. But maybe I'm mistaken.Ĭan anyone confirm that this actually happened: The problem is that, if I recall correctly, the update 3.1.1.0 -> 4.0.0.0 did work even on the packaged version. > things they try to install on ubuntu and this doesn't make a nice For a lot of newbies it will be one of the first > Please remember that azureus is one of the most popular open source > three restarts to realise this is a loop. > asks again if you want to update and asks again to restart. > asks to update and when you agree, it asks to restart. > Now the update manager starts when you start vuze for the first time. > the build in azureus update manager, but then the update manager should > It might be a good thing that 'apt-get upgrade' updates azureus and not Of vuze, which the package manager doesn't yet have, though it works if Vuze's not updateing the update manager in this, its updateing the core Versatile, and the plugins are more custom, Transmission, =x I used utorrent on windows, but vuze actually pritty Please DIY finding and using a suitable blocking list for your chosen BT protocol application.I used it for the first time on ubuntu switching from ktorrent, then to Be extra careful out there! And again, an up-to-date blocking list is recommended. You can read about BIglyBT here at MU as well as at the URL provided below by Barry5p. Head over to Wikipedia for excellent introductions to all these topics and applications, with the exception of BiglyBT, which apparently hasn't yet hit Wikipedia's radar. As such, never use WAREZ, or at least first scan such software with a high quality and up-to-date anti-malware app before using it. Also note that BitTorrented WAREZ software is now infamous for being infected with malware. Keep in mind that BT sharing remains under scrutiny by the media industry. The BitTorrent protocol has a steep initial learning curve, but is well worth the effort. As such, it provides considerably more options than Transmission. It is considered the descendent and revival of the Azureus/Vuze project. The BiglyBT Open Source project began in 2017 in response to the Vuze situation. It is considered the most simple to setup and use reliably. In 2005 the Transmission Open Source project was started and continues on as such today. In 2010, Vuze was purchased by Spigot, became proprietary, was parallel named µTorrent, is now considered ADWARE and should be avoided. Meanwhile, in 2004 the Open Source Azureus project was started and continued on via Vuze. BitTorrent is currently considered ADWARE and should be avoided.

Azureus and its descendents are based on this code. Versions 1 - 4 of their software were Open Source via various licenses. The BitTorrent company was formed in 2004. It is also the name of the original, very first BT client, created by Bram Cohen in 2001. "BitTorrent" (BT) is the name of a file sharing protocol. If you like bells and whistles, aka Geek Meter in the RED, you want BiglyBT. I personally use the latest version of Transmission along with an up-to-date blocking list. NO, this is not the torrenting client you're looking for. ![]()
