There are no plans to change the Azureus license; it will continue to be open source.

when azureus leaves its open source roots, it will be clear they’ve sold out. its already known that they left france for the silicon valley… and they’re raising money from investors… its only a matter of time before they ditch their GPL license for a proprietary one…

guys, you were the last hold outs…. dont be so lame! dont sell out!

and why would you leave france where the government has a clue???

[quote comment="12773"] It's hard to beat uTorrent, it really kicks azureus ass in every aspect imo (not that Im still using windows, but the last time I checked and what I have read, it still does). Baseline: Azureus is going bye bye.[/quote] Azureus Reaches A Milestone

The popular Bittorrent client (2 million downloads a month) Azureus just released version 2.5.0.0. The new release includes some great new features.he way out.

Yeah, of course Az is on the way out when just 2 months ago it was getting 2M downloads per month. Azureus is no where near as bad as people seem to like to make out, at least in my opinion is isn't, i've never understood all the comments made by people about it being resource heavy, its running on my PC 24/7 and i've never had even the slightest problem or drop in system performance because of it. IMO it's one of the best Torrent Clients available.

Probably they will alienate themselves from the rest of the community. And if I’m not misstaking, Azureus is open souce, that will probably lead to a fork kalled “open azureus” or “freezureus” or something along the line. In case that will not happen I believe that people will just look for other clients. It’s hard to beat uTorrent, it really kicks azureus ass in every aspect imo (not that Im still using windows, but the last time I checked and what I have read, it still does).

Baseline: Azureus is going bye bye.

If uTorrent implement this, they should also continue with the “lightweight” as Alex called it. Would be nice to have a choise.

I really hope that uTorrent does not do something like this. uTorrent is a lightweight BT client that very cleanly and efficiently downloads torrents. Please don’t turn it into a bloated, useless “featured content” client that will in all probability fail anyway.

I bet that uTorrent will implement something like this pretty soon; I’d like to see something like RSS feeds for .torrents that they can feature on their page.
