Step 2. Create association of Vuze (Azureus - Java BitTorrent Client) with VUZE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VUZE file still does not use the Vuze (Azureus - Java BitTorrent Client) program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VUZE file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to VUZE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VUZE or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected VUZE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VUZE files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VUZE files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VUZE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the VUZE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VUZE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VUZE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
