As of May 2nd, they've blacklisted multiple clients, all seemingly for the same reason.
Perhaps they are idiots, as suggested, but, to ban an entire list, and specify which clients do and don't work, speaks to some amount of knowledge.
(basically, any Vuze 4.3 or newer, won't work)
Perhaps a few words from you guys, and it could be cleared up? I have had to install back to v4.2, and no, there are no alternate sites for what they are providing. (and, doing a mighty professional job at it, I might add)
I love Vuze, and was literally in the program trying to execute the new pay option this past weekend, when I discovered that all my torrents had stopped working...
Here's a quote from their news section... (below)

"This is important, by Sunday 2nd May at 23:59 the tracker blacklist will be updated. If you are using a non allowed client you will receive the error of banned client, so please change your clients to approved clients.
Over the next few days the blacklist will be getting updated by client. Vuze & Utorrent being the last on Sunday.
No tracker restart is needed from now on due to site upgrades
Allowed Clients (Updated: Sunday, 02 May 2010 )
Clients in Alpha or Beta should be avoided
(with the exception of uTorrentMac)!
