Nueva versión, la 2.3.0.6, de Azureus, un estupendo cliente que está intentando descentralizar el protocolo BitTorrent, el rey de las redes de pares.
Programado íntegramente en Java, Azureus permite múltiples descargas de archivos ".torrent".
A destacar la posibilidad de poner archivos en cola, prioridad para sistemas (en .torrent y archivos), opciones de inicio, detención y resume rápido, y además ofrece acceso instantáneo a numerosas partes de información de tus "*.torrent".
Por otro lado Azureus optimiza las limitaciones de nuestro ancho de banda evitndo la saturación de la cadena de uploads, indicando la cantidad máxima de personas simultáneas a las que les subiremos el archivo.
Finalmente destacar las nuevas mejoras incluidas a partir de la versión 2.3.0.0, destinadas a descentralizar el protocolo.
