Azureus Goes Commercial
Sarah Perez on July 29th, 2006
The popular bitTorrent client Azureus has accepted funding from VC firm BV Capital and changes are in store. Azureus will implement a new "content layer" where commercial downloads will appear. As an Azureus user searches for content, the results will now contain both free and paid downloads in that category. No promises regarding DRM, either — according to Alon Rohter of Azureus, there will be "No DRM if we can get away without it, we all hate DRM ourselves." But can they get away with it? Doubtful, in the long run. May I recommend some alternate clients, then? BitTornado, uTorrent, or BitComet. Take your pick.

I used to use Azureus until I found uTorrent. It uses very little memory, and is very stable. I haven’t had a problem with it yet.
I to use utorrent and it is the best!
