Vuze Remote and Faster Downloads
Have you ever been out, and realized that you forgot to queue a Vuze download to watch when you get home? With the new Vuze Remote, you can now securely control your Vuze client from any computer or smartphone with a web browser. Pretty cool, eh? Not to mention, very useful for those meetings or classes where your mind has already fast forwarded to Friday night entertainment…
Once you have the latest Vuze release, simply go to remote.vuze.com from any browser, or download the Vuze Remote toolbar here. After a one-time pairing of the Vuze client and your browser, you’ll be ready to find and control all your Vuze downloads remotely over the web.
Your remote instructions pass directly and securely between your Vuze client and a web page in your remote browser. Props to the Transmission team, as we leveraged their original web UI in developing Vuze Remote (open source ftw!).
We’ll continue to expand the functionality of Vuze Remote going forward. Stay tuned…
Faster Downloads
This release also includes a number of significant performance improvements resulting from our ongoing Olympic training to make Vuze downloads even faster.
You should notice significantly faster torrent start-up times and subsequent download speeds, as a result of :
- Faster initiation of new torrents through “Allowed Fast” support (enabling new peers to quickly start downloading despite their lack of pieces to trade)
- Connecting to more seeds and peers on launch of a new torrent (for Vista SP2+ and Windows 7), and through optimized support of LibTorrent peer exchange
- Quickly switching to better performing peers through faster connection timeouts
- Faster ramp-up of better performing peers.
Bottomline – you should experience significantly faster torrent start-up and download speeds.
Reigning in Mr. Slidey
Finally, remember Microsoft’s infamously reviled Clippy – the animated paperclip in Office 2000 and XP? For a long period of time, Vuze has had a similarly reviled Slidey that popped up with error messages in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. With this release, we’ve finally fought Mr. Slidey into a corner, and locked him in the closet. You can find all your favorite error messages by clicking on the exclamation point in the bottom-right corner of the Vuze client. Don’t care to be bothered? Please feel free to ignore. Sometimes, it’s the small steps forward that count.
Download Vuze 4.3.1.2 and give it a try. Tell us what you think!

Thats a great update…
Awesome that will be handy!
Why isn’t this update available from within Vuze?
Do you have to redownload your library after updating the program? I was just curious because I have like over a hundred torrents in my library and I don’t want to waste my time doing it all over again. Somebody please get back to me as soon as you can. I am really excited about this update because I spend a lot of time trying to be patient with the existing program. Thank you everybody. Peace out!!!
Sincerely,
DamnBillzFan
I have AT&T Uverse and I heard somewhere that the AT&T cable boxes can read that you have Vuze movie downloads and you can watch your movie downloads on your TV. Can anyone tell me how to do this???
Thanks

Does a french version exist?
Will faster downloads be available for Mac soon too?
I like the organised layout of Vuze but the downloads are slow and interfere with work on the internet mainly the loading of pages 4 most websites. My internet speed is fairly high too!
thx
speaking of faster downloads, anyone have any secrets to setting preferences in vuze to maximize download speeds, any and all little tricks to speed up the thing, i’m in the jungles of asia with medium slow cmda wireless, thanks, much appreciated.

My Vuze detects the update I how do I fix it? Another thing: I have several torrents downloading normally to go any faster (my bandwidth is not great
) so I must be careful to start one when the other end For when a solution on this issue established in the Vuze own?
