Do you call this a relevant post. "Be aware that Vuze sends hidden data out which must be blocked via a firewall". Propaganda is not wanted here.

I changed the comment, because it was quoted just below. Vuze has been checked over and over again for every version by the coders of various sites that I belong to.

I mean coders that don't rely on some signature database done by an Antivirus company.

Vuze sends lots of data "home", like version info, loaded plugins etc. Depending on the way you use it, it might also connect you to search databases, Vuze homepage torrent releases and all sorts of other things. It does however not send info home about what torrents you are downloading/seeding.

Many of these features can be disabled in the interface as well.

Take e.g. mine, which has DHT disabled, by not loading requred plugins, Auto update check disabled, media player disabled. Pretty much anything not needed for downloading and sending through private trackers is disabled.
