“Weren’t people saying that months ago, and it still didn’t happen?”

You mean at about the same time you released a Vuze Bob version that actually had “Vuze” as client ID ?
How come you switched it back to “azureus” then ?

Why don’t you just make a azureus2.jar without the Bob UI and
make it available as a download for those who know how to use a browser
and a media-player ? Since you say it only takes 5 minutes you would save a lot of time that you are wasting defending Bob each new release .

@68 – if you’ve got something in particular that we can look at, post on our forums, perhaps we can see how things are.

@69 – I think that’s been fixed.

Let’s hope they finally fixed my bug report in this version. Have been manually removing that ugly progress bar that’s always at 75% for me. The “Automatically remove inactive items” option stopped working after the 3.0 update.

@amc1 (well if you’re lurking around)
I got the latest as a fallback to Halite 0.3.1.1. But of course I’m in the “classic” UI camp, having the option to switch between UIs are still good though for experimenting purposes. Installed size on hdd remains 20+-ish Mbs which is good. There’s NONE of that old clunk and heft, in fact I think 4.0.0.0 seems to improve in many ways at that. 1 puzzling thing that I just can’t seem to figure are at Vuze’s ability at peer connections local or remote and the ability to dodge hefty throttling. I don’t quite know how to specify it but for lack of better examples, I’ll put Halite in the perspective. Halite seems to be able to connect to as many as it could to those on plain text encryption and RC4 as well. It can hold them down, lets me use the set UL slots effectively when I can seed. Of course it’s evident that I get better DL consistency. The older Vuze 3.1.0.0 works actually the same but halfway through it panned out the same as the current.Any hints as to why? To those having issues with DHT, no offense but I can’t seem to reproduce the issue. Even disabled, Vuze are able to perform as advertised. Plus I don’t see any diffs of DHT enabled or disabled, I leave it disabled 99% of the time.

My dislike for Vuze is surpassed only by my dislike for uTorrent – to that end, use NoVuze!

As a long time Azureus user, I was about to abandon what is now called Vuze when they switched the UI to utter crap in the Vuze release.

Azureus has been one of the staple bit torrent clients for a lot of people, and prior to being renamed and having it’s user interface screwed up by trying to be first in the gold rush to monetize azureus for the purpose of ads, content and movie downloads they did a horrible job with the fist release of Vuze (formerly azureus).

I used Azureus primarily simply because a bit-torrent client is a bit-torrent client is a bit-torrent client… it was functional enough even with the sluggish UI and the use of Java.

Azureus was good enough until Vuze came along and totally screwed up the user interface. I’m happy to say that Vuze is much cleaner now and is back to satisfactory status.

Bit-torrent clients don’t really matter that much, as long as they are usable and get the job done, and don’t slow my computer to a crawl or annoy the crap out of me with bad UI.

You can bring up the “old” style advanced view from 3.x by clicking on the right hand View button. This is located in the upper right area of My Library screen.

As stated, the new view omits important basic torrent information such as seeds and peers, upload speed, etc.

For example, a seeding torrent went to “queued”, and that got me to checking my settings as I don’t have a limit on # of seeding torrents… I switched views, saw I had no leechers, and solved the mystery.

The default UI is going downhill, no doubt about it.
