Vuze, a BitTorrent client previously known as Azureus, which is built on Java, has been upgraded to version 5.3.0.1 Beta 36 and is now ready for testing.

Vuze is a relatively lightweight BitTorrent client that can be used to download torrents and even acts as a search engine. This is not the only client available on the Linux platform, and the competition is fierce.

According to the developers, a rare high CPU usage bug that occurred when deleting a download has been fixed, a torrent creation wizard bug introduced recently and that occurs when accounting for ignored files has been corrected, the display name of a torrent can now be changed when adding it to the client, and the network handling has been improved.

Also, the “availability” dialog has been added to the open-torrent-options to allow seeds/peers for a torrent to be viewed before adding the torrent for download, the primary tracker view is now updating properly, and the TorBrowser plugin has been updated to version 3.6.2.

Check out the announcement for a complete list of updates and new features. You can also check out our Vuze review, although it's for a slightly older version.

Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
