Why client Vuze / Azureus is forbidden in most trackers?

I wanted to ask this question for a long time and Which a more appropriate forum here?!... :biggrin:

[anon]

Which trackers ban it?

I do not remember what trackers is prohibited. I only remember that I read many forums prohibiting the client Vuze / Azureus or received by an account disabled for using it.

IPT for example ban it anon.

I was surprised and actually went to look it up. They indeed list it, but I've never been banned for using it nor have I even had a warning. I've changed clients a while ago so maybe it's new, idk. Better safe than sorry either way, but this caught me by surprise.

@sazzy: No it's not a new thing. They ban vuze and the newer uTs for a long while now.
But you always have the perfect spoof feature ;)
I didn't know you have changed the uS and uG combination ;)

Nah I'm still running that at the moment. But before that I was using Vuze. Just uses too much mem on my server that can be spent on better things :T

No tracker will ban you for using a disallowed client - you will only get a message telling you about that, and your torrents won't start.

As for banning Vuze, the only legitimate reasons I have seen for doing it are that cheaters use it (prior to the Extreme Mod, anyway) and that it announces too frequently when there are few peers (which was true years ago, but I'd assume has been fixed now).

Because of the Extreme Mod existence :)
