Azureus – BitTorrent Client of Choice

O'Grady's PowerPick 2005Azureus is a Java BitTorrent client that works with Mac OS X and comes bundled with many invaluable features for both beginners and advanced users, including: Upload and download speed limiting, both globally and per torrent, advanced seeding rules and an embedded tracker. What makes Azareus even cooler are the third-party plugins that are available to auto-adjustment of your upload and download speeds according to your network charge, an RSS feed scanner and a Swing Web Interface that allows remote control of Azureus. Because it’s Java, the UI isn’t quite as fast as BitTorrent, but the additional control and features make Azareus an O’Grady’s PowerPick for 2005.
