Azureus 2.5 is out

A new version of the popular bittorrent client Azureus has been released yesterday to the public. Azureus 2.5 introduces several new features such as Auto Upload Speed which automatically adjusts the upload speed by pinging other members that currently seed the torrent. The interface was improved as well adding new information like idle times and date added to it.

Overall speed was improved as well which needed to be done. I personally disliked Azureus because it was slower compared to uTorrent and Bitcomet. The new version might change this in favor of Azureus although I´am pretty sure that Azureus will never reach the performance of the other two clients.

Check out the complete change log on the Azureus homepage. Some security features have been introduced as well which make a fine addition like blocking certain port ranges or signed updates for increased security. If you encounter problems with Azureus check out the Azureus wiki homepage which provides articles that deal with common problems.
