Azureus: Java Bittorrent
built 236 days ago
Azureus is a Java based BitTorrent client, with support for I2P and Tor anonymous communication protocols. It currently supports Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Unix. Azureus was started at Sourceforge.net mostly to experiment with the Standard Widget Toolkit from Eclipse, in June 2003. It is possibly the most popular of all BitTorrent clients.

The Azureus client was written in Java. Java is an object-oriented programming language developed primarily by James Gosling and colleagues at Sun Microsystems. This client is free to download and use under Open Source License.
