Vuze
Vuze is a BitTorrent client that allows users to search for, download and manage torrent files at speed. It includes a built-in search bar for finding torrents, web-based remote control for monitoring downloads from other devices, and features for managing your library. Vuze is written in Java, which allows it to run across multiple operating systems including macOS. The application is available in both free and paid versions, and serves casual users as well as power users who need advanced torrent management capabilities.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionVuze has been discontinued and is no longer maintained by its developer. The app was not updated to support Apple Silicon before development stopped, so there is no native build. Your current Intel-only copy continues to work under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta from macOS 28 in September 2028, at which point Vuze will no longer launch on your Mac. You should begin transitioning to an actively maintained BitTorrent client now rather than waiting until the deadline. Popular native alternatives include Transmission (free and open-source, very lightweight), qBittorrent (free, open-source, feature-rich), and Deluge (free, cross-platform, plugin-extensible) — all of which run natively on Apple Silicon and are under active development. If you have existing torrents in Vuze, most of these alternatives can import your torrent list or resume in-progress downloads by copying the torrent files to their watch folder.
