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?

[siotoxin]

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.

[caos dreamer]

could it be that vista slows down p2p appications? just some thoughts but microsoft is known to make silly things

[-[Nero]-]

does other bit torrents software will work on vista besides azureus? such as utorrent.

please state is there are others that works with vista. i dont really like azureus.
