Vuze is a window friendly software used to download torrents, or in other words, get free media from filesharing websites. This software basically converts free files sent over the internet into streamable or playable files such as mp3, or mp4.

One quick perk to take into account is its quick and easy download time, as well as its user-friendly interface. Some of the features of this software include the ability to change the user interface to account best for your own personal skill level in torrent software.

The three skill levels are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced. This skill division does not change the ability of the software, but instead just makes it more comfortable for individuals who may not have as much experience when it comes to the use of torrenting software.

This software is user friendly and competes with Utorrent for number one free torrent software.

Another key benefit of this software is that it uses Tor, which takes into account individual privacy. In addition, the virtually endless list of plugins allows for each users workspace to be truly their own.

With an Android, smartphone one can additionally begin and end Torrent downloads while they are away from their main device (PC or laptop). This feature is one that I believe sets Vuze ahead of their competition. With a premium version also being offered for about 15 dollars the amount of software one wants to download is distinctly limited to their device's memory.

One of the last little benefits offered by Vuze is a built-in search bar in the main browser software of the user's device allowing for downloads to be quick and efficient. With all these features in mind, this product seems to have it all. However, as a torrent user, it is always important to remember to use a VPN if intending to use software such as Vuze.

That being said the pros of this software highly outweigh many of its potential cons, making it my number one choice for torrenting software.
