How to Add BitTorrent to Vuze
Vuze, a BitTorrent client formerly known as Azureus, can download the files specified in a BitTorrent file. You can find BitTorrent files to download using Vuze’s Meta Search feature, which searches for torrent files across a number of websites. You can add additional BitTorrent search engines to Vuze’s Meta Search engine by importing a Vuze search template into Vuze. If you already have a BitTorrent file, you can add it to Vuze from the File menu. You can also create your own BitTorrent file and add it to Vuze to share content you created.
