torrentfreak.com — Vuze, the popular BitTorrent client formerly known as Azureus, has received a major update which allows users to automatically convert and play downloaded videos on the iPhone, iPod, Xbox 360 and the PS3. ?Now playing, on all your screens? is Vuze?s new tagline.

Not that I know of. In fact, it seems to do the opposite. I have 1% downloaded, and it will upload 10 times the bandwidth worth to peers almost every time.

<-- 1.5GB of ram

@HonoredMuleYou're talking absolute rubbish, RAM speed is almost negligible in day to day activities, the vast majority are bottle-necked on the processor (or one core of it) or the harddrive. It's true that applications which are bloated and take up lots of RAM may suffer from memory fragmentation or other issues which can make them slower, but there is no direct link between the memory needed to run an application and the speed at which it runs.

Let me explain where I'm coming from, I've been a unix/linux sys-admin for over fifteen years and recently spent two years as a broadcast engineer at the BBC and working on their iPlayer project. I'm just saying I've got a lot of experience in all of the technologies we're talking about.To be able to stream an HD MKV file to the 360 you need to transcode it to a suitable WMV codec on the fly. Now that *alone* is gonna be pretty demanding on most home systems. Factor in that you're running it through a Java app, and like most it's prone to memory leaks, and you're adding a tremendous overhead on the system. Now that Java app is also hammering your TCP/IP stack, setting up and tearing down hundreds of connections every few seconds, and if you're running something like Peerguardian then every one of those connections has to be run through an ACL that can be hundreds of thousands lines long. And finally your disk i/o is gonna through the roof, and that's already getting a workout from handling the torrents, the Java virtual memory and the system swap memory.You''ll need a pretty swish system to keep up with all that. Like a lot of folks (I guess) my torrent client is also a workstation (and in my case it's also a home file / media server). I don't think you'd be able to use your Vuze box for anything other than Vuze if you wanna take advantage of its media streaming features.

I don't want to sound like a jackass but you're on XP right?And I do agree Vuze uses far too much RAM, I would suggest going with an older version before they added that Vuze crap.
