It would be great if you could give a more detailed description of your problem.
Did you already try to install it? If yes, does it start? If it does start, whats the problem you have?

And while we're assuming you're running Ubuntu on your Mac, since you're posting in a Ubuntu Forum, I'd still like to have you confirm that.

I can open vuze and search things but it never comes up with the actual thing i am searching for example if i search paranormal acivity or something like that it will come up with maybe two trailers and thats it, the main thing is if i search for music it will come up with a music video but never just the song or the album

The answer to the other question is yes i am running ubuntu on my mac.
Thanks everyone for trying to help i appreciate and i do realise im probably just being a bit dumb

Hi, it looks as if you are not alone with that problem. I don't think it is an issue with Ubuntu but more with Vuze. These links below are to Vuze forum posts with the same problem and possible fixes for it. I got those from Google.

Also beware that you will need to forward certain ports for Vuze to work effectively.

now i know im being stupid but what do you mean by forwarding ports?

[tolf242]

Hi, It's not stupid if you don't know. These links should give a good head start with the what's? and the hows?.

Hi, I'm not 100% sure with what you tried to download? From one of those?
