..that's actually a link that takes you to the latest beta version of Azureus The main versions of Azureus/Vuze are 2.5 and 3.0 respectively.

Both Azureus 2.5 and 3.0 (Vuze) on the main page are fully released and gold. There are always beta and nightlies out often though.

Maybe it was some random java thing crapping out when you tried to run a nonexistent App?

Azureus is...a horrible program. There aren't many choices for bitorrent for OSX though

You're basically stuck between Azureus (bloated, lots of unnecessary stuff they try to sell you, in java, nonstandard DHT etc.), Transmission (lacking important options, slow speed, blacklisted from my trackers for abusive announcing, etc.), xtorrent (you have to pay for this...wtf? ), tomato (horrible interface), or bitorrent (why would anyone use this?)

Hopefully utorrent will finish its OSX version soon.

Yeah Azureus has become a lot worse/more bloated lately, but I don't use torrents frequently enough for it to bother me.

Yeah I love utorrent and I can't stand this azureus but it's the least worse out there now I guess...

ANd BTW this white colour gets dirty so quick, It's been 2 days and I can see how it attracts the dust and I see my fingerprints what do you guys recommend for cleaning the macbook?

WD-40 cleans it all!

EDIT: Just in case this wasn't obvious. This post is not serious. Please don't use WD-40 on your Macbook or any laptop.

Oh Sorry, I'm giving out wrong information. I'll research before I post next time.
