Azureus - (Open Source)
Share and download shared documents with ease using all the interesting options that Vuze offers.
Vuze is a platform using the Peer-to-Peer BitTorrent protocol to distribute videos of all kinds. Via an intuitive design interface, this application offers a download service trailers, clips, podcasts, documentaries, etc and a search engine to quickly find the desired documents.
If a user shares some interesting files, it is possible to subscribe to be informed of new shares. Vuze reports when a new file is available avoiding, this way, repeated or recurrent search.
The download is fast because user can make several download at once. The order of priority in the downloads is also configurable.
Some of the proposed documents are available in High Definition, and can reach lengths ranging from 5 to over 45 minutes. User can also stream his personal media files on any BitTorrent client, or only to his friends.
