It is? I thought they'd never implement it since it goes against the design of the BitTorrent protocol.

My definition is downloading the pieces that make up a torrent one after the other, instead of attempting to preserve the rarest and ensuring fair distribution of the rest. I doubt Vuze would ever officially add this for the reason I gave above.
The guys behind uTorrent claim the way of doing it they use for the "streaming" feature does not damage the swarm, however. I am guessing it only enforces sequential mode to give you the initial part of a movie and then goes back to regular piece picking based on download speed, on the assumption that will give you the full file by the time you've finished the sequential chunk. Or maybe only activates it on swarms full of seeders, which can take the hit. Never researched this, though.
Anyway, maybe it could be added for this mod. Private trackers being full of overseeding whores, it wouldn't do much damage.
No it doesn't.
There is some unofficial patches about it. (this for example.)
The only client i know which officially supports sequential download is qbittorrent and it works so good.
"Damage" is not the case here IMHO. This option will be optional like others. So, if a user really wants to share/seed, nothing is preventing it.
After i copy all files to vuze folder and start vuze "Vuze Beta 5.2.0.0" appears at below extreme left corner. Is is ok and ready to use? Have a look at screenshot.

The left corner shows which client ID is sent to the tracker and peers. In your screen there is no spoof enabled, so Vuze sends the original data.
But why is it saying "Vuze Beta". I downloaded the client from vuze website and i think it is stable v5.2.0.0.
When i installed unmodded client nothing was there at corner but when i replaced the files with VEM, Vuze beta 5.2.0.0 appeared. If it is sending this client information, i think i am not able to use it on trackers because most trackers don't recommend beta versions.
As I said, the left corner shows which client was sent to the tracker and peers. This is a feature from VEM, not Vuze. Ignore the "beta"; our releases are by default set to beta, but this is the 5.2.0.0 stable version.
whats the settings to make this work like RatioMaster?
I think my Windows 8.1 installation isn't playing well with the mod. 5.2.0.0 and 5.1.0.0 both do not work properly (either fake upload too quickly, ignoring settings, and stopping completely when torrent has downloaded). I'm going to try 4.7 soon, all fresh installations of course. If it doesn't work, i will reformat. Can anyone else with 8.1 confirm?
Really really strange. Isn't working well on friend's Mac either, VEM either doesn't read settings right (set it at 100KB/s - 200KB/s upload and it continued until 3MB/s until i force stopped it) and it just suddenly stops fake uploading when torrent has downloaded. Downgraded to 4.7.x.x and works perfectly. Might try it again in the future, and i'm sure i cleared out my configurations.
Hmm, I first started with ratiomaster a few days ago, then I downloaded mRatio and that seems like a good program, now there's this one. So many choices! :D which to choose??
