Vuze (formerly Azureus) is a BitTorrent client for macOS (and other operating systems). It allows users to download files shared via the BitTorrent protocol. While functional, it[SQ]s known to be resource-intensive compared to some other clients and has had a reputation for including bundled software (adware) in the past, though this has improved in recent years. It offers features like :

*

Torrent downloading:

The primary function, allowing users to download large files quickly and efficiently.
*

Torrent creation:

The ability to create and share your own torrents.
*

Search functionality:

Some versions offer built-in search capabilities (though it[SQ]s always recommended to use reputable sources for torrent files).
*

Media playback:

Some versions integrate media playback allowing you to watch or listen to downloaded files directly within the app.

However, because of its past reputation and the existence of other, often lighter and more streamlined BitTorrent clients, Vuze[SQ]s popularity has declined. Users should proceed with caution and carefully consider its settings before downloading and installing. Always download software from the official website to avoid potentially unwanted bundled programs.
