Vuze 4.0 is Here!
“To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.”
- Winston Churchill
Over the years, we’ve been working to turn Vuze into the easiest way to find, download, and play high quality and especially HD videos.
On this road, we’re continually coming up with new features and moving as fast as possible to get them into your hands – though neither our speed nor execution lives up to the “perfection” cited by Mr. Churchill. In fact, our speed occasionally led us to bolt features onto the existing interface in less than optimal ways, and to push core functionality into hard-to-reach back corners of the product (aka “advanced tab”). As our users, you’ve told us loudly and clearly which changes you’ve loved (which has been great) and which you’ve hated (which we’ve tried to learn from). With your feedback in mind, we decided a few months back that the time was right to re-think how the various parts of Vuze should fit together to form a great product.
Today, we launch Vuze 4.0, which has been directly inspired by your feedback. In this release, you’ll find a few key things:
- First, you’ll find a dramatically streamlined and redesigned client. All the features you know and love are included in the new design. We’ve simply focused on improving usability and ease-of-use.
- Second, you’ll find new subscriptions functionality. Now, you can easily find subscriptions related to content in your library, in the Vuze Network, or create your own subscriptions using Vuze Search or RSS.
- Third, those of you who use private trackers will find that our powerful meta-Search functionality now supports logins with user ids and passwords. (And if you haven’t yet tried our new Search, you should definitely check it out.)
- And finally, we’ve made some major improvements to our emerging content platform, the Vuze HD Network, to make it easier for you to find videos that interest you.
What are you waiting for? If haven’t done so yet, you can click here to download Vuze 4.0.
We’re really excited about these changes. Let us know what you think as you dive in and take the newest Vuze out for a spin. We’ll continue to refine and enhance Vuze for you, based on your comments.

Vuze 4.0 is great!!!!
I’m already loving it!
vuze is so gr8 but i dont know at times its so slow here but the big thing though is that i like it big time
hey guys, i have vuze and works quite well…i tried to upgrade to vuze 4.0 but the installation file seems to be corrupted, I can not install it. I have windows vista ultimate.
regards…
Hey. I have a little problem because when my Vuze is ON (downloading) my wi fi sistem (in home) start to failure, I don’t know what I have to do. Any help with this little problem???.
I got the notification that there was a new Vuze client redesign for users of the Classic UI while I was using the Classic UI.
I really like the new look of Vuze in the screenshot on the download page, but I’ve installed version 4 and the new layout doesn’t really resemble that screenshot much at all. Misleading and a little disappointing.
@Ivan: You have to actually turn _off_ classic mode and go into the redesigned mode to get into the new look.
Apparently, it doesn’t replace the classic mode–this new classic mode-inspired UI replaces the Vuze redesigned UI. Which is good.
Vuze was using between 13 and 18% of cpu before the upgrade, and now using 70~90% of the cpu?!
im really sorry, it’s pretty and all that, but not what im looking for… im sticking with the previous version.
Installation says file is corrupted.
Error message when installing install4j wizard “The installation file is corrupted. If it is a download please try again.”
I love Vuze on my iMac. When I upgraded many files said they could not be copied, loaded, etc. I tried doing a straight download from the main page, and I get the same thing. I have no frog icon, just a generic app logo. Let me know when the download is fixed, so I can keep enjoying my Vuze.
I liked the old design much better.
I got Mac. Upgraded to this and it crashed 3 times already within an hour with a few downloads going on. Not good. I think I have to go back to the older version until they fix it.
I only use Vuze as a torrent client, I don’t use all these media search bells and whistles. What changes have been made to the torrent interface from version 3?
The new interface is beautiful, but i want the old “advanced menu” back.
@Johannesfaust, @Ivan, @Dave, @Eric, @SR, @Joel, and everyone, please check out http://www.vuze.com/support for help with the issues you’re having.
Is this where we ask for help? In Vuze 4.0, if you highlight something in your library and click the big X “delete” button, it actually deletes your files. How do you get it so it just removes it from the library but doesn’t delete the actual files?
WOW, what a neat interface! Great job, keep it up
I’d also like the old ‘advanced’ button back. I switch between the classic and new interface quite a bit, and it’s a pain to have to restart.
I’ll stick with 3 until I can easily switch again.

Great app guys.
It’s great, computer has been on for the last 24 hours or so downloading things.
Cheers

@Joel and @mgjv, just go into your Library, and click the “View” button on the global toolbar. You’ll be able to toggle between basic and advanced views.
Could this new version be downloaded via the update manager?
@John Fernandes: Thanks for that. That seems to be pretty much what I was looking for. Thanks.
The new UI is certainly not my cup of tea, the classic UI still says “Vuze” in my taskbar, with no apparent way to make it say anything else, and the UI switch button is still encroaching on my toolbar. If it weren’t for core functionality updates, I’d still be on 2.5.0.4. Don’t mind the new logo though.
I don’t like the blinding bright redesign. It hurts the eyes, as well as all the tons of other blinding-bright websites out there. (Yes! Sorry to say…not because of my taste – White is just the brightest colour, you know?)
Is it possible to switch back to the dark design after installation?
