Azureus 2.3.0

May 03 2005 | 1 min read

I run Azureus on my Linux box as my Bittorrent seeding client, and last night it gave me a popup asking me to upgrade to 2.3.0. I obediently complied. It downloaded, restarted, asked me to then upgrade the az-plugins which I also did. It has not served out anything ever since that point. I get the green smiley faces and even connections but nothing serves out. Nice. It's going to have to be this evening or later before I look at this. Nothing like having an automated one-push upgrade that then forces you into hours of debugging to figure out why nothing works anymore.

Update: Turns out this thing does not work properly unless you have Java 1.5. I didn't feel like upgrading Java on that box so I downgraded Azureus to the previous version and am back in business. I think something like this needs a little more disclaiming, considering that it doesn't run properly unless you have upgraded to a very recently released JVM.
