While it's been known as Vuze for a long time now, it was originally known as Azureus. It was pretty popular at one point. Then uTorrent came out which was super lightweight in comparison, so it quickly gained popularity... at least before it became riddled with adware.

Java clients were typically very bloated on older PCs, and Vuze was no exception.

Wasn't Azuerus the one with 3d views of seeds and peers? It was crazy to see that in a torrent client at the time.. I remember it getting very bloated and rebranded to Vuze before I left it for other smaller and faster clients
