Next Stop: Instant Gratification
Vuze 4.6 has arrived! The release includes a brand new Play Now feature, faster downloads, and a completely redesigned Sidebar. At the end of the day, each of these features enhances your ability to quickly download and watch. Here at Vuze, we’re all about instant gratification.
Play Now 
With today’s release, you’ll now notice a green Play button whenever you select a currently downloading torrent containing a video file.
Clicking the green play button will analyze the media file to identify the video bitrate, your current download speed, and calculate the point at which to safely begin continuous playback. As a result, you’ll now be able to enjoy playback a lot sooner than if you had to wait for the entire torrent to download.
If you’re an existing Vuze Plus subscriber, you’ll get Play Now at no additional cost. If you’re not a Vuze Plus subscriber, check it out now.
Faster Downloads
In addition, we’ve pulled together a large number of code changes to speed up our communication with the larger bittorrent ecosystem, including support for uTP. The end result? Faster downloads across both Vuze (the free version) and Vuze Plus. In fact, combine faster downloads with Play Now, and you might just be approaching a world of instant gratification (depending on the speed of your internet connection, of course).
Sidebar Facelift
Finally, Vuze 4.6 includes a completely redesigned Sidebar. The goal was to streamline the features to reduce clutter, and enable you to quickly access the features you use (while hiding those you don’t).
Download Vuze 4.6, take it for a spin, and let us know what you think!

I have used Vuse everyday now for the past year. It’s the Bomb… Awesome program and so eazy to use. Keep up the GREAT work.
i am on version 1.0 how do i get it because i am not paying more for it and there is no green light to say play now what do i do?
The changelog that pops up after installation tops out at v4.4.0.4. The online changelog semi-understandably still stops with 4.5.1.0. Sadly, the azureus.sourceforge page seems blissfully unaware that 4.6 even exists.
What changed under the hood? Where’s the beef?

Good stuff chaps, keep up the splendid work. Vuze really is becoming a lifeline of an application.
Streaming works awesome!
Got the new version, not I do a search and cannot get anything to download. I clcik it and it wont open the torrent so I can start the download. Sooooo how is this an improvement?
No names are showing in the New folder (previously Unwatched folder). It tells me I have new files that have finished but there’s no names so I don’t know what has finished downloading.
Plugin for my xbox randomly stops working after the update to 4.6
Wow thanks is great
I love my PS3 even more now thanks to Vuze :0) Streaming movies to the PS3 is a breeze ! ! Thanks Vuze people your awesome ! !
Thanks for this update.
Vuze is the leader in bit torrent cllients!
Good Update, keep going like this
I Seem to have a problem with Vuze 4.6… I run Mac OS and since the update my download speed has not exceeded 30kb/s . I have been Using Vuze for quite some time now and really enjoy it ! please get back to me!?
All of the recent changes to Vuze have been wonderful. Our family depends heavily on Vuze for all of our media needs and we all appreciate the upgrades and changes that make our beloved Vuze even more user friendly and fun to use! So come on everybody and USE THE VUZE!
With heaps of respect to the entire Vuze Team,
The Koch Family
Still a problem with the ps3 connection. Will this be rectified soon?
a very good effort
Vuze is a 2 way street every downloader needs an uploader. I personally feel that once I download I have a duty to repay by seeding. I would quite happily pump stuff down the line but I can find very little info to help me increase my upload speed above 70Kps. So please Vuze on the next upgrade give us some help on the upload side.
Otherwise, thanks for the upgrade
You guys rock! This new version is much better, the program itself is much faster and uses less CPU and RAM and more stable, and are the downloads faster too! The new side bar is quite nice much better than before! Thank you Vuze team!
Awesome!
Vuze Rocks!

Well I updated tonight and since the update my ps3 no longer see’s a single movie i have in there. Where did they all go? I tried putting them back in again but no go, it’s not working. I restarted a few times and still nothing. Arrgghh, this is not nice. Oh, and i didn’t even want the update, and something else was installed without my consent, I pressed no and it installed anyway. Not a happy camper at the moment.
