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…

VuzeRemote4

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!

    Actually I’m using a trial version of Express Burn from NCH software to burn my library to DVD. For the format I use DVD Video but some DVD players are not compatible so you need to check if your DVD player is compatible. So far I’m happy with it.

    I see notes that state will be faster for Vista and Windows 7, does the speed increase if using XP? is this strictly an upgrade if you have those or will it help on XP too?

    Jda – It depends on the type of files you downloaded … If they are ISO then a free program called Imageburn will do the job. Your other files (actually include ISO also if you want) can be burned as ‘data’ using a program like Sonic or Roxio or Nero. You probably have a similar program pre-installed on your computer.

    dj farfig – There is no ‘easy’ way to set up Vuze for optimum performance. You have to take the time to wade thru pages of info but most of it is readily available at wikipedia. I would start with the Vuze Good Settings section first and use that page to link to the other setup suggestions

    Good Settings

    Also read the Vuze support forums http://forum.vuze.com/index.jspa

    To Mr Jackson

    Downloading via Vuze or any other file-sharing program is always affected by the number of seeds and peers sharing the file. Generally, the more, the quicker. So if you go for an older movie etc, there may be fewer seeds/peers and thus take much longer to download. You may find you are being ‘choked’ if your upload to share back is to slow or if you have nothing to offer that seed/peer (there is nothing you can do about the choking except to ensure you have Vuze configured for optimum performance)

    Suggest starting with Good Settings http://wiki.vuze.com/w/Good_settings

    Another trouble spot is NAT so make sure that is not your problem http://wiki.vuze.com/w/NAT_problem

    Good luck, I was kinda slow and took a lot of time to learn and get goin but it was worth it!
