Introducing Swarm Discovery™

Countless torrent files spanning an ever-growing spectrum of content make it increasingly difficult for people using other bittorrent apps to cut through the noise find new content that they’ll enjoy and be informed by. Enter Vuze™ 4.8 and Swarm Discoveries, a first for any bittorrent client. Using an automated process to look at the relationships between torrents in your library and those of other users, Swarm Discoveries makes recommendations on other content that you might enjoy and be informed by. It works by looking at the relationship between torrents in the DHT and automatically applies statistical analysis to provide content recommendations. Subsequently, Vuze also now has Swarm Search™, which supplies results based on the various data sets created by Swarm Discoveries. A full explanation can be found on our wiki page, Swarm Discoveries.

• Automatic detection and full support for 64-bit operating systems (from idea Run in 64 Bit Mode)
• Prevent computer sleep has been extended to OSX and now encompasses both preventing sleep while streaming (from idea Disable Sleep Mode when Streaming Media to Devices) and video transcoding
• Prioritization and auto-open for descriptive files in torrents such as .nfo, .txt and .rar files (from idea Auto nfo Reader)
• Manipulation of tracker lists in a textual format instead of via the GUI widget (from this idea)

We hope you enjoy all the new features, and please let us know what you think or if you run into any issues: http://forum.vuze.com

Your Top Vuze Votes Implemented in 4.7.2

First off, thank you to all the users who submitted ideas to and cast votes on Vote for Vuze!, our feature request forum. We’ve received tons of great ideas, and we’ve been listening! Today, not even a month later, we released an update that includes features that we pulled straight from Vote for Vuze! Here are some of the highlighted features, voted on by users, which went live today:

Improved UI and Functionality for Creating Torrents

This idea (Ability to create a torrent with multi-directory or/and multi-files contents located in various paths on various disk drives) received the most support from our user base, so how could we not implement it?! With this update you get more drag and drop goodness and improvements to the torrent creation flow. Now you can simply drag files located in various directories and/or on different drives and drop them in Vuze. From there, we’ll take care of the rest and create a torrent with all the files you picked.

More Search Templates by Default

Voted on second most, users requested more search templates to be added to Vuze by default.  We’ve included 3 new templates by default.  The Internet Archive, which recently made 1,000,000+ movies, books, music, and other media available to the public.  ClearBits, which contains open licensed digital media.  Legit Torrents, which dedicates itself to legit content.
