Azureus 2.5.0.0 Released

Did you mis the Azureus update? (I did.) The latest Azureus package was released on 8-22-06 and is ready for the p2p crowd consumption. I would imagine we will see updates much faster since uTorrent and Azureus are apparently at each others throats.

Who has the best bittorrent software?

1. What's new in Azureus 2.5.0.0

1.1 Send to Friend
A wizard to simplify sending a link to content to a friend or to embed in a web page (e.g. a blog).1.2 Auto upload speed
This feature controls your upload speed based on the latency of your internet connection as gauged by pinging other members of the Distributed Database.

1.3 Other new features

  • OSX: Open .torrent files into Azureus via Finder/Desktop/etc.
  • 'Do not download' files handled more consistently with respect to download completion.
  • Renaming of a download directories.
  • Moving of data files on torrent removal from Azureus.
  • Signed updates and plugins for improved security.
  • Interface improvements - more information: date added, idle times, new info view, file piece view; more per-torrent options.
  • Debug information generator.
  • More in the changelog.

Don't forget to check the plugins - http://azureus.sourceforge.net/plugin_list.php
New remote control plugin - AzSMRC

1.4 Bug fixes and performance improvements
Notable fixes:

  • LAN Peer Finder retains peers more effectively; explicit LAN peer identification.
  • Reduced CPU usage when connected to large numbers of peers.
I loves me some new p2p updates and hopefully the competition between uTorrent and Azureus will be a good for everyone involved.

Get Azureus Homepage
In the same vein as GetFireFox, Azureus has started a Get Azureus. Their homepage features the latest and most popular content on their tracker. Not for me, but yet another step in the direction  of creating legalized torrents. pffft
Safe Peer for Azureus
Most p2p users protect themselves with IP blocking clients such as Protowall and PeerGuardian, but a plugin available for Azureus makes it that much easier. SafePeer is a plugin which integrates almost any IP database into Azureus. It then manages these IPs and automatically blocks them from connecting to your computer,
Hi-Def BBC Programs
Hi-definition programing is quickly catching on to the masses. The prices are falling, therefore opening up the market to a whole new era of distribution. Often times the difference between a basic 30min program and a hi-def version of the same show can be up to a GB or more.
Adsense Notifier Update And Others
Please, for the love of all that is holy, Add-On developers please keep your FireFox add-ons up to date.  I'm tired of going several weeks without my Adsense Notifier, Live Page Rank, and others.  Not to mention those of you who are selling paid versions of add-ons should make it
