It provides a bittorrent protocol implementation using java language.

Azureus now features an embedded tracker easily set up and ready to use.

Channel Log:

New Features:

• QUEUED status. Torrents that are queued are stopped, but available for automatic starting
  
• Partial support for Read-Only data (for seeding)
  
• Added “Forced-Start” to force a torrent to start, ignoring download limits or seeding rules
  
• Auto-positioning of finished torrent based on how badly the torrent needs seeding
  
• Added Availability, Seeding Rank, SavePath, Max # Uploads, and Total Speed columns to My Torrents view
  
• Categories to group your torrents in (right click on My Torrents and select Set Category to get started)
  
• More auto-seeding options
  
• Ability to limit maximum number of file handles open/in-use at any given time
  
• Tracker – various performance enhancements such as announce/scrape caching. Tested to 500,000 peers on single torrent
  
• Tracker activity logging to %azhome%/tracker.log
  
• Tracker bytes in/out + scrapes recorded
  
• Tracker – ability to limit number of peers returned
  
• Share ratio now shown on tracker web pages
  
• Tracker/client support for “no_peer_id” spec for bandwidth savings
  
• More plugin stuff – alert raising, ipfilter reloading, various other stuff
  
• Applet UI enhanced into usable state (start/stop/add/remove downloads) + auto refresh
  
• Added torrent hashes for G2 + ED2K (ala http://www.torrentaid.com/)
  
• Added colours to file view to show: grey -> requested; red -> data recently written

Changes:

• Split torrents in My Torrents view into 2 lists: Downloading and Seeding (Completed)
  
• STOPPED status now means the torrent never auto-starts
  
• Moved icon from Rank column to Name column
  
• Removed Lock Priority. No longer an issue since priority only gets autochanged once
  
• Remove “Lock Start/Stop” menu option. Stop now means no auto-starting/stopping
  
• Re-design of Configuration view
  
• Language files (MessagesBundle_xx_XX.properties) are read in the following order: Azureus user directory, Azureus application directory, JAR file
  
• Remember sorted column and order for all views
  
• Core performance optimizations and major cpu usage reductions
  
• User prompt when (1) tracker listens fails (2) incoming server port bind fails
  
• Config files/dirs and plugins now stored in OS user dir (Win: C:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication DataAzureus, OSX: /Users/username/Library/Azureus/, Linux: /home/username/Azureus/)
  
• Tracker log now includes date as well as time

Corrected bugs:

• Once a torrent is complete, and you remove the data, it wil no longer start downloading again when seeding rules are on
  
• 1st column of MyTorrents no longer has a gap if there’s no icon. (Windows Only Bug)
  
• Fix for download stalls at 99% / 100% cpu usage bug introduced in 2070
  
• Fix for minimize/close causing the program to disappear from view under OSX
  
• Fix for icon bar buttons not being flat (Bug #890166) [Gudy]
  
• More reliable .config and .torrent file save/load management
  
• Better handling of failures when performing “move on complete”
  
• Handle torrent file names with trailing spaces and CR/NL (from Mac
