Vuze is a commercial BitTorrent client software. It is able to use the I2P network, without having to install I2P. Vuze is limited in its use: "Any use of Vuze® and Vuze+™ that violates the rights of any person or entity is not allowed." (https://www.vuze.com/corp/legal)

In July 2017, two developers, including the person supporting the I2P plugin, left Vuze to work on a open source fork called BiglyBT.[1][2]

Quick start guide

To get it

Currently (2015-03) there is several packages:

Misc

How to run run Vuze *AND* a I2P Java router ?

The Vuze 'I2P Helper Plugin' contains a bundled I2P router - if you have a standalone installation then you can switch to use this via: Tools->Options->Plugins->I2P Helper: Use an existing I2P install[3].

History of I2P support by Vuze

I2P Network Plugin (2007-2013, deprecated)

From 2012 you could use Vuze (v4.8.1.2+) again for torrent with I2P, with the "I2P Network Plugin".

Have a look on:

From 2014, the "I2P Network Plugin" is deprecated, see the "I2P Helper Plugin" below.

I2P Helper Plugin (2014- )

From 2014, Vuze (v5.3.0.1+) has a default plugin for accessing I2P. This is an option if you like Vuze, and can be quite handy as Vuze offers a number of features other torrenting programs don't.

Check Vuze's internet website for more information:
