Azureus is a Filesharing Client for BitTorrent minutes, to which the GNU general Public License is subject. The name is inspired by the poisonous blue kind of frog Dendrobates azureus, which places also the Logo.

Azureus was published in June 2003 on Sourceforge.net. It is written and supported in Java therefore Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X and all other platforms, for which Java is available. For the representation of the graphic user surface the SWT library was used. Azureus is certainly one the most extensive BitTorrent Clients, which concerns the capacity, used up however - not least because it is based on Java - also comparatively many resources.

While a Torrent is downloaded, the among other things following can be observed:

  • which files to be downloaded and became
  • the number of the Seeds (complete sources) and Peers (incomplete sources) as well as the availability calculated by it
  • how much per cent of each file one has already, the number and availability of sections of a file and which sections to still be missing
  • of whom one downloads, the UP and Download speeds of its Tauschpartners, its IP, its haven, its Client and still further options, if one is super Seed.
  • the own UP and Download speeds, the remaining time, file and tracker information
  • the average swarm speed (good to comparing with the own Downloadgeschwindigkeit)

Over the Plugins menu it is very simply possible to install additional Plugins and to extend thus the function range from Azureus to. Like are for example SafePeer and Country Locator. An important function extension is possible with the Nodezilla Plugin that it permits.torrent files without publication on Websiten to spread. It accesses in addition the Nodezilla Grid network.

Owing to the PeerExchange and DHT function added in the version 2.3.0.0 (Distributed Hash Table) are possible for Downloads also if the original tracker precipitates, since over DHT connections to Peers are then manufactured.

Since version 2.4.0.0 supports Azureus coding, which is to help the Traffic Shaping by Provider to escape (source: www.gulli.com).

Trivia

SourceForge particularly appreciated Azureus in September 2004, by it to the Project OF the Month. In the context of the 2006 SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards Azureus was selected by the user municipality on the first place.
