Tracking of Vuze recommendations started around Mar I recently tried downloading utorrent from utorrent. Is this legit or is this actual malware?

My downloads keep getting stalled. I have already tried reinstalling the apps lots of times as well. I've been using this for more than a year now. This only happened yesterday. I didn't configure its settings prior to this problem ;-; I've tried switching to utorrent. What are some alternatives? Fancy something that resembles uTorrent without the unwanted software? No problem. Want to add alphabetical downloading, move downloaded files to specific directories according to the file type, adjust speed according to network conditions, create pretty graphs, schedule everything, integrate with Chrome or Firefox, or batch-rename downloads?

That's not a problem either. Read our full Deluge review. It's attracted some criticism over the years, however: it's ad-supported and many users argue that the most recent versions are a little too heavy on the advertising and bundled software front.

Make sure you read each step of the installer carefully and uncheck any software you don't want to install. That aside, uTorrent is useful, effective and doesn't gobble up too much of your system's resources: the entire app mainly runs in your web browser.

Although it isn't the official BitTorrent app, it's been maintained by BitTorrent for the last decade. It's worth noting that uTorrent has a record of security problems, the most recent of which had the potential to let hackers control key functions of the client and spy on users' downloads.

BitTorrent has since released a patch for the vulnerability. Read our full uTorrent review. You might be wondering why BitTorrent has its own torrent client when it also maintains uTorrent — especially when the BitTorrent app is a rebranded version of uTorrent. Are you still following us? However, while the apps are functionally identical there are a few key differences: BitTorrent offers web-based seeding, commenting and reviewing, and you may find that the BitTorrent client is welcomed by private trackers that don't like uTorrent.

It's very simple to use as well, and could be a good choice if you're new to torrenting and want a client that will give you an easy introduction. Read our full BitTorrent review. Daryl had been freelancing for 3 years before joining TechRadar, now reporting on everything software-related. However, Azureus' classic interface continues to exist within the client. Still, that doesn't make it any less powerful as a BitTorrent client. It is probably best known for offering a vast number of different features and even support for 3rd party plugins.

However, many consider this to be a good thing, as it can run on any platform that supports Java, unlike uTorrrent, which needs a separate version for each platform.

Vuze looks slick and has plenty behind the scenes. While we have seen that uTorrent is undoubtedly fast, many claim that Vuze is just as fast, or even faster. Of course, these are all personal opinions, and tests did not provide a definitive winner. It's certainly worth you trying both on your system to see which performs better.

Vuze also created another torrent client a few years back, calling it Vuze Leap. This one came as an attempt to make Vuze use fewer resources and features while simplifying its GUI. The simplification comes because Vuze is generally overly complicated, and it simply has too much for the average user.

It certainly offers more than most users will ever need. So, if you ever felt like the original Vuze is slow and too bloated, Vuze Leap might just be the solution for you. If you don't feel like switching to uTorrent, that is.

As you can see, both of these clients have their advantages and disadvantages, but they also both have dedicated user bases that will defend their preferred client for as long as they need to. If you appreciate a simple approach, go for uTorrent, but if you like to experiment, tinker and play around with features and settings, Vuze is your choice.
