Vuze is my 1st and last torrent client, in starting it was known as Azureus, I am using it from windows XP SP2 era, I have never switched to others, because there is no need to switch to others, since your all needs fulfilled by vuze,
But at present, i have to switch to other client, due to my favorite torrent site has been switched to https and now I can’t download from site.
For your information site uses TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 128 BIT KEYS, 128bit keys, TLS 1.2 encryption,
Vuze gives error like "Error: Offline - SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake failure",
I am using latest versions of Firefox 56.0.2 32bit, Java 8 biuld 1.8.0_152-b16, vuze 5.7.6.0,
As per Vuze about details
(Java 1.8.0_121 (32 bit)
Oracle Corporation
c:\program files\vuze\jre
SWT v4716, win32
Windows 8 v6.2, x86 (32 bit)
V5.7.6.0/4 az2)
I have attempted following steps to resolve the same...
>>> Attempted steps provided at vuze forum regarding "Unlimited jurisdiction policy" (Thread-handshake-failure-SSL-error), also installed policy files to “C:\Program Files\Vuze\jre\lib\security” folder
>>> Imported site's certificate to java,
>>> Enabled TLS 1.2 in internet settings (Control Panel>Internet Options>Advanced>security>"Use TLS 1.2")
>>> Vuze Options>Tracker>Client Unchecked “Send Java version and OS name”, “Enable HTTP/HTTPS tracker client protocol” is already checked
>>> Vuze Options>Tracker>security> attempted reset using “Reset certificate store (will restart Vuze)”, “Automatically install unknown ssl certidficated without promting” option is already checked
>>> In torrents’ tracker URL starts with HTTPS...
>>> Tried using other torrents’ client developed in C++ without any problem
Please help me to get ride this problem, because I do not want to use other client,
vuze is my favorite client ...
