Install Vuze on Ubuntu 64bit
I have just reinstalled Ubuntu 64bit and i wanted to download some torrent. I like the default torrent client that comes with Ubuntu, but i missed the features of Azureus so i decided to give Vuze a try. Unfortunately this did not went as smooth as i would have expected, and this is because Vuze (which is built on the Eclipse platform) comes with the 32bit version of swt.
Here is a tutorial on how to install vuze on ubuntu 64bit.
1. Prepare install folder
mkdir ~/Applications
2. Download and extract Vuze
cd
wget http://cache2.vuze.com/files/Vuze_linux.tar.bz2
tar jxvf Vuze_linux.tar.bz2
mv vuze ~/Applications
3. Download and extract the latest 64bit SWT (you can get the latest URL from theEclipse SWT Project Page)
wget http://eclipse.ialto.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4-200806172000/swt-3.4-gtk-linux-x86_64.zip
mkdir swt
mv swt-3.4-gtk-linux-x86_64.zip swt
unzip swt-3.4-gtk-linux-x86_64.zip
mv swt.jar ~/Applications/vuze/
4. Enjoy Vuze by starting it from terminal:
~/Applications/vuze/vuze

Vuze changed the archive name. Use this instead:
wget http://cache2.vuze.com/files/Vuze_Installer.tar.bz2
