I'm unsure what Vuze is. By if you are unable to write to the directory i can help you with that.

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir /usr/lib/vuze
sudo chmod 775 -Rv /usr/lib/vuze

but anyway, updates on linux are usually provided with apt-get, you have little reason to manually update azerous.

the website mentioned making the file execuitable. Browse to azureus directory.

Code: Select all

chmod +x ./updateAzureus

HI grimdestripador , I put a check mark on the box and it didn't show up anymore.

so far it seems to be working good and I haven't seen any strange errors yet.


Thanks again!
