Vuze / Firewall Problem

I've just gone back to using Vuze from Transmission and have a problem.

My Firewall is set to allow Vuze communication but whenever i open Vuze the Firewall asks if I want to allow Vuze, then I have to type in my admin name and password. With the Firewall off I don't have to do this.

Advice would be welcome but please don't tell me just to leave the Firewall off or to stop using Vuze.

Cheers.

And this is a problem because?
I never have my firewall on BTW, no need. Built in firewall in the router etc, and it's a Mac, no viruses (so far!)

I assumed that if I 'Allow' a connection in the firewall I shouldn't need to confirm it every time I use the program.

There must be a "don't ask me again" box you can check or uncheck... I think
