De ontwikkelaars van Azureus hebben een nieuwe versie beschikbaar gesteld, te weten 2.4.0.0. Dit programma is een in Java geschreven BitTorrent-client en kan geïnstalleerd worden op Windows, Linux en Mac OS X. Azureus heeft features zoals het geven van prioriteiten over bepaalde torrents of zelfs over afzonderlijke bestanden in een torrent. Verder heeft het een ingebouwde tracker zodat zelf bestanden delen ook tot de mogelijkheden behoort en kan de functionaliteit uitgebreid worden door middel van plugins.
