Azureus Inc. Moves Toward Commercialization

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the buy-this dept.

SamBob writes "Future releases of the most popular BitTorrent client, Azureus, will come bundled with a 'platform' for media companies to promote their product to Azureus' multi-million users, reports Slyck.com. Azureus Inc., who are the newly formed company behind the Azureus software, plan to generate a profit from the platform in the future, but in the short-term are hoping to help independent film companies find their audience."

    It looks like it's time to migrate to utorrent if you haven't already. There no commercialization associated with it and it's much faster. The only downside is that it's for windows only.

      use rTorrent + screen + ssh; even faster, no graphical capaibility required.

    Am I the only one who thinks that this really means that it is going to be the next Kazaa?

    No, you're not alone, you're in the company of all the other commentors that couldn't be bothered to read the article.
