Vuze Introduces ?Vuze to Go?

By soulxtc

Run the popular BitTorrent client from a portable disk drive, and download content from any PC.

Vuze, formerly Azureus, continues to try and create new ways for users of the BitTorrent client to watch HD video content on devices that they “already care about and own.”

Back in March it introduced a new Sidebar tool feature that lets you to drag-and-drop videos from your Vuze Library (or desktop) to devices such as an iPhone, PS3, or an XBox 360.

Now it’s expanding their effort to deliver HD video content wherever, whenever you want them, by introducing “Vuze to Go,” a completely portable, self-contained version of the Vuze BitTorrent client that installs and runs on and from any portable disk drive.

“Vuze To Go” installs on any portable disk drive, like a USB hard drive or a flash thumb drive, rather than on your computer?s hard drive, and enables access to the full functionality of Vuze ? anytime and anywhere.,” reads a Vuze blog post describing the new application. “Just plug your portable drive (complete with Vuze To Go) into any PC and you?re ready to go. Vuze will run seamlessly from the portable drive, and all of your downloads can also go directly to that drive.”

“And, like Vuze on your main computer, you?ll be able to play all the content in your Vuze Library even when you?re offline,” it adds.

The only drawback is that the PC version of “Vuze to Go” costs $9.99, with a free 2-week trial for those wanting to take it for a test drive first. Some may balk at the cost, but you have to consider the price in the context of accessing Vuze’s HD video library whenever, and wherever you like.
