The Vuze Bit-Torrent client, formerly known as Azureus, is used by hundreds of Internet users around the world. Just as any other file sharing client, peer-to-peer connections are vital for file downloads and transfers to be successful between users. As users download files in their entirety, the Vuze shares the completed particles among other users so more users can download the file again in the future; this process is called seeding. However, some users opt not to share their files and desire to disable seeding once they've finished downloading. If this is your desire, you'll need to disable the seeding capability altogether.
