   Reviewing 4.3.0.0 (Nov 16, 2009)

   This has just got bigger and bigger and bigger per update. So much bollox is now installed as standard or hidden and installed.
   
   Lets face it most of just want to click download and have it on our pc and it sent back to the other people on the network.
   
   This is trying to cater for stuff your not ever going to use. I got past seeing what the point of vuze has now become. The developers seem to of taken bit torrent the stndard protocol and added super bollox to it. It aint needed.
   
   Confusing not for newbies and unfocused on what it wants to do... slower than other bit torrent clients on download also

   I tried it, it seems like alot of all talk no action. Plus it doesnt seem to want you to get the full movies, just trailers. It's a bloated mess.

   Reviewing 4.3.0.0 (Nov 14, 2009)

   I've used Azureus/Vuze for several years, and on the whole I like it, but the updates have been getting progressively slimier. The latest, 4.3.0.0, just tried to sneak the installation of a toolbar and an Outlook Express plugin past me, and would have set my default search to Ask.com as well if I hadn't noticed the tiny "Customize" checkbox in the lower left. The OE plugin even tries to trick you by presenting the decision to install it as an Accept/Decline of the plugin's *license*. If you don't notice the license is for the plugin, not for Vuze, then say hello to your new buddy in OE. Just. Too. Lame. Vuze, be useful, not annoying.

   I've noticed the super sloooow download speeds also, even with huge number of seeds. Any idea what is the problem? Still Vuze is a lot easier to use than other torrent programs.
   
   Edit I just installed the new version on Vuze and if Punissuer hadn't made the comments about that damn small "licence" notice and how badly it is worded I just might have missed it. Untill Vuze correct that with full size lettering and CLEAR notification I will simply rate Vuze 1, no matter how good it is.

   I may have to go back to Vuze after all. I've been using uTorrtent for months, but I get consistently-crappy speeds with it, even on torrents with big swarms. (The connection settings make no difference.) Once in a great while I'll get a decent speed.
   
   Going to reinstall Vuze and see if it works better...
