Based in Palo Alto, California, P2P leader Azureus is proud to announce that their spinoff site Vuze, a high Resolution video portal, has crossed the threshold of seven million users in just six months. Additionally, the company announced that it has gained a deal to offer the complete two seasons of The Office UK and its specials available for download and high resolution Streaming video. This is the first company to ever be given rights such as this in the United States. As a promotion, the first episode will be available for free. This program joines an already impressive list of high-definition and standard definition BBC broadcasts.
Vuze has become the world's largest high resolution and high-definition video portal and has exploded in growth due to growing consumers who demand high-definition content. Millions of videos have been downloaded from Vuze every month and July saw a growth of over 100% compared to previous months.
Gilles BianRosa, CEO of Azureus had said, "Vuze continues to see adoption from unique users at an unprecedented rate. Our active community has been following Azureus for a very long time, and is now embracing Vuze and its unique features. This community is what sets Vuze apart from other Internet video and entertainment sites and we strive to give users everything they need and nothing they don’t."
