Vuze is torrent p2p client which helps you to download files across various torrents present world wide. Obviously there are other clients like bittorrent and more but Vuze is one of the best choice for Linux and also because i never faced any problem with it.
So here are the steps how i installed vuze on my CentOS 5.3 which is a 64 bit OS:-
Note:- You must have Java Runtime Environment installed already before installing Vuze.
1. Download the vuze software by visiting here. Choose Linux AMD64 as shown in screen
2. Save it on Desktop or were ever you like.
3. If you are not Login as root check for appropriate permissions.
4. Move to location were your software is initially installed i.e. Desktop in my case.
5.open terminal and type following command
# cd /root/Desktop
# ls
you will see here a file as: "Vuze_4.2.0.8_linux-x86_64.tar.bz2"
6. To run this .tar.bz2 file use the following command:-
.
# tar -jxvf filename.tar.bz2in this case it is
# tar -jxvf Vuze_4.2.0.8_linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
7.You will see files like:
vuze/
vuze/Azureus2.jar
vuze/GPL.txt
vuze/README.txt
vuze/TOS.txt
vuze/azureus
vuze/plugins/
vuze/plugins/azplugins/
vuze/plugins/azplugins/azplugins_2.1.6.jar
vuze/plugins/azrating/
vuze/plugins/azrating/azrating_1.3.1.jar
vuze/plugins/azupdater/
vuze/plugins/azupdater/Updater.jar
vuze/plugins/azupdater/azureus.sig
vuze/plugins/azupdater/plugin.properties
vuze/plugins/azupdater/azupdaterpatcher_1.8.8.jar
vuze/plugins/azupnpav/
vuze/plugins/azupnpav/azureus.sig
vuze/plugins/azupnpav/plugin.properties
vuze/plugins/azupnpav/azupnpav_0.2.23.jar
vuze/swt.jar
vuze/updateAzureus
vuze/installer.log
vuze/vuze
vuze/vuze.png
vuze/ChangeLog.txt
8. Now use following command:
# cd Vuze
9. Once you are in type following command:
# ls
output of this would be like
azureus ChangeLog.txt installer.log README.txt TOS.txt vuze
Azureus2.jar GPL.txt plugins swt.jar updateAzureus vuze.png
10. Now it is simple you just need to execute azureus file as
# ./azureus
what you will see now would be like

11. And what now your Vuze is ready to start go and download something and dont forget to remove vuze download file from desktop if you dont want the software to consume your extra disk.
12. Now in Linux you cannot provoke vuze by simply clicking .torrent file, when you do so it will ask you what program to use. So instead i use following procedure. Go to directory where your Azureus files are located and run vuze by using
# ./vuze
once vuze is opened, select file< open
k- Click on Add Url
- Enter the Url of torrent file
- Set the Path were you want to download the file default it is /root/Azureus Downloads.
- click ok
- Thats it your file is now being downloaded
