View Full Version : Vuze vs. utorrent

So I've been hearing some good things about Vuze lately (and a few bad ones) and so I was wondering what your opinions are. Is utorrent threathened or will it reign supreme for many years to come? :D

prediction: 85% utorrent.
i'm using vuze because it's the best and most advanced bittorrent client for mac os x.

Well I'm on Win xp, so I use utorrent. I think it's the best for my OS.
Also, atm it's not going according to your prediction, PB. Go figure.

Ok, mine post was too much, yeah, but! Vuze is no longer BT-Client, it's has too much for ME. It's like Nero: 1st versions were brilliant, just Burning ROM and no crap, but look at it now, huh? It's.... I think Nero 10 will be operating system LOL And now Vuze, it's can do too much, and I want ONLY powerful BT client, so, my choice is uTorrent.

Vuze is unquestionably the superior client, but it's better suited to the more technically savvy user.
true that. many people don't know about the classic mode which simply turns off all the vuze features and some are simply overstrained with the right settings and advanced features.
another advantage is that the client is open source and there's a huge variety of helpful plugins.
the often mentioned ressource hog argument doesn't count for me by the way. vuze uses about 120mb ram and 5% cpu with hundreds of torrents running on my system. i really can afford that for an essential application.
to be fair i can't really compare the two clients because i never used utorrent. the mac version still is very basic and doesn't even support torrent creation. it's no alternative.

uTorrent, because it doesn't try to be anything better than what it is - an easy to use, minimal BT client.

where as uTorrent just rules low memory use usage and is so simple to use great for everyone mac compatible aswell

it's not mac compatible. unlike vuze, utorrent is not a cross platform client. the mac version is rudimentary and banned on several trackers for what it is - an early beta.

03-08-2009, 09:13 PM
I personally prefer vuze.
just reiterating what's already been said, but imo the technical features and the benefits it gets from being open-source outweigh the resource requirements.
The resources required aren't that much anyways, as long as you keep your computer in good order and have an up-to-date system.
However, i haven't seen much of utorrent, so I can't say much comparing the two...

I like transmission better, has all the features you need, a beautiful simple interface with the download/upload rate directly on the Dock icon, uses almost no resources and is very light.
Better than both utorrent and vuze in my opinion.
Then again it's only for Mac.. :whistling

If you just want a basic and lightweight client then go for uTorrent.
A real one would have to be Vuze.
And check out the older threads about these, this has been repeated time and again.

There's lots more plugins and such, I don't wish to go deep since Cabalo should know more about this.
Vuze's current UI looks really bloated, I use the classic one too and only enable all the core plugins needed.
Well, if it's a poll OP wants then alright..

lol not really but i think its a bit pointless that someone would need to use both though. Really i dont see much point in vuze since it more resource hungry, everyone may bang on about there is more add ons and shit on vuze but end of the day u just using it to download and upload, also i have seen no proof that all these extra add on's of vuze make speeds faster or anything, so end of the day why would u want to take up more resourses when utorrent can do the same more efficently.

once again. if u dont see, dsnt mean nobody can see. vuze looks much more cool than ut, but at the same time most of all when my pcs on, ut is on too. i dont use vuz often, twice or 3 times a week i think, but this is as is. so i use it both. its first.
second thing is that i dont care if it takes too much of ram, ive hi-end pc and for me rly there is no need to care abt anything. mb only reinstall winxp once a yr. i can at the same time run 3dsmax, ps4, ur, vuze and playing any of last realesed games and after all that let pc stay on for weeks. nothing will happend. but we dont talk abt that here, we speak abt ur right and ur choise, right?
main point of my idea was/is that everyone has his right to think like he want. for example if u suppose that 2 + 2 = 5, its ur right, let so. and 99.99(9) on that round blue ball think that 2 + 2 = 4. but its fucking ur right, and my choice is to choose prolly not right way but to think abt my choice against the way to take all that u shd do from ur boss and dont think
omg, anybody got it?

i did not say no1 cant have their opinions cant u just accept i think utorrent is better then vuze and so do the majority of people on this poll and the majority of people round the world simple. Also what benefits do u get using both, seems a bit pointless to me. Why use one 3 days a week and use another 4 days a week why not just use one all the time.

Most people use utorrent, but that doesn't make it better. Just more popular.
This poll is useless as what it really is is a popularity test. Because most voters have never even used the other client.
As for the original question, I would say that it depends on what you want.
utorrent is better if you want a simple, light client that doesn't use to much RAM.
Vuze is better if you want a more elaborate client with more options, and if you don't care about the size and RAM usage.
I guess that sums it up.
As for me, I'm on mac and I use Transmission anyway :P

I have used both and Utorrnet runs better on my machine but Vuze does have some nice features. Like if you move all your music from your download folder to a music folder (say after you back it up) you can highlight all those torrents and specify the new folder location all at once. Utorrent requires you to specify the new folder location and then speicfy the file location and each torrent has to be done individually.

excuse me but most of those "users" don't have the slightest idea what bitorrent is, and haven't tried out vuze....that's like saying that waffles are better than pancackes without tasting pancakes(i like waffles bette :happy:)...

Tell me y utorrent is better then vuze is shit?????. u think that a btclient that was out 2 years before utorrents would be more popular. So i dont buy that excuse of not everyone has tried it shit.
For the record, i hate Vuze.
Yes i have installed all new versions of Azureus and Vuze just to see what all the fuss is about, and its just a horrible client, all i want to do it upload and download, thats it, nothing more, but all the silly options in vuze were just that silly, i hated it.
and all these plugins is why i hate it as well, i wont put the name of the mod, but is a nasty mod for private trackers you can get for it.
But then i dont really like utorrent either lol but for ME it is the better of the 2, and yes i do have s decent PC and i run Vista (so i am not one that harps on about resource heavy, bollocks.)
The best one i have ever used was Bittornado, just a shame its stuck on 0.3.18 for years and not being updated at all.
So i use utorrent but i am not that keen on it, I hate Vuze as most of the shit in it is pointless (and its java), but if Bittornado was still being developed, i would be using that.

The_Martinator
03-12-2009, 08:16 PM
Hm, it seems the thread has turned into a fight over which of the two is better. certainly not my intention.
Anyway, utorrent has all the features I need. There was one that was missing but one of the latest versions have that one (you can change each file's location, usefull for preseeding).
have you tried deluge stoi ?
deluge has some problems but is definitely the better of the new clients when you compare it to halite (this is my opinion no offense to the developers) I quite like it and it's definitely the closest client to UTorrent that's open source. Though some trackers have it banned as a beta which it well and truly is.
@harshytkage, just so you know at one time Azureus/Vuze was the most popular bittorrent client. It lost that mantel to UTorrent for a variety of reasons mainly because people's systems weren't as good then and they didn't want all the bells and whistles they just wanted a client that worked without slowing down all the other shit they did on their PC.
Over time UTorrent got the best rap and that's why most people use it. Not because they don't know what BT is...lol. There's nothing like a UTorrent v Azureus thread to bring out the flame...this one is quite pleasant in the scheme of things. Must be the poll.

Oh thanks, lol.
Really I didn't anticipate a flame war. Just goes to show what a noob I am.
I mean, who cares which client you're using. as long as it lets you seed so that other people get stuff at the fastest speed you can provide.
Oh, and of course it's good if you can max out your connection while leeching.
I can understand people that want a client that's not a resource hog, I'm using a 2 year old comp.

i just think utorrent is far better because its a lightweight program that doesnt need to rely on java or anything else to work. why would i use a larger program when i can do exactly the same thing with utorrent. and the fact that they're trying to legally distribute movies and content with it makes me less interested in it. its really like comparing nod32 to norton for imho.

I have a Q6700 and 4 gig ram and a 8800GTX and i still wouldnt touch Vuze with a bargepoll.
Sorry i just dont like Vuze, never have, and never will.
and as i said its not because its a resource hog, i run Vista 64 bit will all the aero and crap, so that doesnt bother me, i also like aesthetics, but tbh, i only ever look at utorrent once or twice a day, it does what its supposed to, and it works, which does me.
