In PIA Advanced Settings: Connection type: udp My installation process was a little rocky, but I'll try to recapitulate everything I did: It would be nice not to have to restart Vuze every time I add a torrent. Neither R-clicking on torrent, selecting Tracker/Torrent | Update Tracker (nor scraping) has any effect. I have to restart Vuze, and then it immediately shows seeds/peers. when I load a popular torrent, it invariably has 0/0 seed/peers and will stay that way, indefinitely. Secondary issue: often 0 seed/peers when loading popular torrent. (So, the underlying issue is a failure of port forwarding? I do have the red "Firewalled" status, and Vuze does fail the NAT/Firewall Test on Vuze's listening port.) However, with torrents of 3-5 seeders, those remote connections really matter. With robust multiple-seeder torrents, I have no problem (since the local connections suffice). Its been working reasonably for a few weeks. Please DIY finding and using a suitable blocking list for your chosen BT protocol application.Installed: PIA v82 / MacOS 10.11.6 / Vuze 5.7.6.0 / java 1.6.0_65 / ruby 2.0.0p648 / Little Snitch 4.0.5 Be extra careful out there! And again, an up-to-date blocking list is recommended. You can read about BIglyBT here at MU as well as at the URL provided below by Barry5p. Head over to Wikipedia for excellent introductions to all these topics and applications, with the exception of BiglyBT, which apparently hasn't yet hit Wikipedia's radar. As such, never use WAREZ, or at least first scan such software with a high quality and up-to-date anti-malware app before using it. Also note that BitTorrented WAREZ software is now infamous for being infected with malware. Keep in mind that BT sharing remains under scrutiny by the media industry. The BitTorrent protocol has a steep initial learning curve, but is well worth the effort. As such, it provides considerably more options than Transmission. It is considered the descendent and revival of the Azureus/Vuze project. The BiglyBT Open Source project began in 2017 in response to the Vuze situation. It is considered the most simple to setup and use reliably. In 2005 the Transmission Open Source project was started and continues on as such today. In 2010, Vuze was purchased by Spigot, became proprietary, was parallel named µTorrent, is now considered ADWARE and should be avoided. Meanwhile, in 2004 the Open Source Azureus project was started and continued on via Vuze. BitTorrent is currently considered ADWARE and should be avoided. The cryptocurrency TRON Foundation bought the BitTorrent company in 2018, at which point creator Bram Cohen left the company. As of version 6, BitTorrent became proprietary software. As a result, BitTorrent was forced to 'play nice' with the media industry or face lawsuits. As of version 5 in 2006, BitTorrent came under the scrutiny of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) and the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) due to copyright infringement by BitTorrent users. Azureus and its descendents are based on this code. Versions 1 - 4 of their software were Open Source via various licenses. The BitTorrent company was formed in 2004. It is also the name of the original, very first BT client, created by Bram Cohen in 2001. "BitTorrent" (BT) is the name of a file sharing protocol. If you like bells and whistles, aka Geek Meter in the RED, you want BiglyBT. I personally use the latest version of Transmission along with an up-to-date blocking list. NO, this is not the torrenting client you're looking for.
