   I absolutely love Vuze. I use it on my HTPC and use utorrent on my laptop.
   It's a way more presentable interface for my HTPC. The search function is also way more comprehensive for 'far from pc' use vs. Utorrent.
   It does use more memory than utorrent, but imho it's worth it. If you have a system with 4GB or more RAM, you won't feel a thing....gfi! you won't regret it.

   Who cares about program name...
   
   uTorrent = max. 30MB in memory...
   Vuze= max. above 1GB memory, standard is above 200MB + high CPU usage due to Java...
   
   and uTorrent do same job to download the file like Vuze...
   
   simple ppl will choose uT to do the job, than memory hog Vuze...

   Why the hell do people get so emotional over Vuze vs. uTorrent? What idiotic statements.
   
   Azureus paved the way for a full-featured, accessible, stable BitTorrent client. Without Azureus/Vuze there would be no uTorrent as you see it today. Azureus/Vuze innovated in many ways.
   
   The Vuze interface isn't to everyone's liking, but it can be easily reverted to the classic Azureus interface. The Vuze interface takes hardly any space on disk. So that complaint is rendered null.
   
   The obvious remaining complaint is that it requires Java. And that's the clincher for me. I was very happy with Vuze except that its monstrous memory use and agonizingly-long startup times drove me nuts. So I finally, after years of holding out, switched to uTorrent.
   
   In response: I'd typically see Vuze using ~100 to ~150-MB of RAM. And my settings were pretty aggressive (lots of connections allowed, high values for peer storage, etc.) What the other reviewer reports sounds like absolute rubbish to me.

   Not worth the time required to download it. Switch to Halite.

   Want to get back the good old Azureus (pre-Vuze) user interface? Simple! Tools->Options->Interface->Start, Display Vuze UI Chooser [Show], Classic Interface.
