ok,
for everyone that runs Azureus and is planning to install vista please read up on some of the following.
1.) Azureus WILL slow your perfromance and lock up often with vista
2.) Right clicking in the program will lock the program up
3.) To save anywhere without getting an error you must change the save area to shared and uncheck read only.
4.) Do NOT start many downloads as this may lock up your computer AND may set off Vista Security and Vista will clos the program automaticly.

Uh oh. I love Azureus...I'd probably die without it. This means there's one more reason for me to hate Vista. =/

Good post.

Can you give us a reference of where you got the authority for this, it may well mean that other P2P applications like Limewire, eDonkey, eXeem, etc may not hold up with Vista.

Im not quite sure what you mean by authority, but anything that pulls a high download rate or supports multipul high speed downloads will eather lock up vista, give you a BSOD, or just plain kill the operating system. And as an extra warning to future vista users the touchpad will stop working on a crash and will not start working until you reinstall the operating system.

What is Azureus? sounds interesting. Is it another Linux distribution or something?

It's bittorent handler very similar to utorrent in look and the way it works. It works on Windows, Linux, and I think it works on Macs. I right now only have it on my laptop in ubuntu linux.

Azureus runs fine on vista you just need to turn on compatibility mode as "windows xp sp2" and it will run great. Also make sure you have the newest JRE 1.6 hope this helps.

It will probably run better once they make a build for Vista. Right now, it's not optimized for all of those seemingly useless security checks that Vista does when loading programs.

Azureus With Vista

Replying to -[Nero]-
Vista and most p2p networks work just fine, however, as of several months ago, when I last updated Azureus, It did not work with vista. I was wondering if this was a temporary problem, or if it was going to be a permanent issue. The issue was with the file save location. Every time I loaded the software, It would try do download to C:/"username"/Documents and Settings/Downloads, which did not exist, and the software could not create the directory. I could not switch the file directory to any other location, as it would lose anything I downloaded, and would switch back on the next startup. I switched to BitLord, which has limited functionality when it comes to choosing what files to download, and not being able to open parts of a file without the entire file being downloaded.

Azureus Vuze
Azureus With Vista

I recently installed Azureus Vuze on my pc with Vista and am having problems with my NAT/Firewall Test. It reads "NAT Error - Connect attempt to xx.Xxx.Xxx.Xxx:xxxx0 (your computer) timed out after 20 seconds.

This means your port is probably closed." I had a similar problem with azureus and windows xp, but I was able to open a TCP for my internet firewall and virus software and allow Azureus to run regularly with a green light(tracker).

Other than internet service firewall I.E. At&t, verizon, virus software firewalls are there any other things I can do to make my tracker status better?

I love Azerus and have been without it since gewtting VISTA.
VISTA is a good system. I changed its functions to XP which you can do....and found I love VISTA far more. I just dislike hat very little software works on it. I can'are get the correct JAVA to work with Azureus. So I am using bittoorent. I can only use non java p2p programs. Very frustrating. And JRE 1.6 for Vista always has a runtime error when I try and install.

Opinion/Suggestion *:Could someone tell me if Vista and Firefox work well? again I been reading many comets on the internet about bugs and errors but those comments are 6 months old. Do you think is a good idea to install Firefox in Vista?(as today September 2007) by the way I'm a regular computer user I have good knowledge about computers but I'm not a expert. what I'm trying to say I can fix regular errors but I'm not a programmer and some of the hint I found here are about my skills... thanks in advance
