BitComet

Anyone used it? is it any good?

Basher · 12-03-2006, 20:29

Yes and yes

K.S.H · 12-03-2006, 20:33

Thanks, i've downloaded it already and running it now, getting some good speeds too

chav1 · 13-03-2006, 16:18

its not the software that decides your speedsbut the sources you connect to

ps:

download a program called peerguardian and always run it when using torrents

it blocks out university servers and govenment servers who will report your activities to your internet provider blah blah blat etc etc

just google it , its free but like condoms dosnt come with a 100% gurentee but lessens teh chance of getting busted

I've never tried bitcomet but i know of at least 1 site that banned the client for whatever reason.
I'd recommend Azureus, but utorrent is supposed to be very good.

yeah a few sites that req u to upload aswell as download have banned bitcomet cuz the program doesnt allow them to track what ur uploading so they cant b sure if u r sharing etc

bit lord is almost identical

I would also recommend UTorrent, i used to use BitTornado but that was very memory hungry and slowed the computer right down, BitComet is banned on the site i use so i`ve never used it so cant say how good or bad it is.

I use Azuerus , i find it very reliable.

Basher · 18-05-2006, 14:24

I've recently switched to Azureus.

I just fancied trying it out and quite like it.

I tried utorrent for a couple of months but found that it was very slow in uploading. I've moved on to Azureus which has been pretty brilliant.

andrewb · 19-05-2006, 18:36

Did you set the ports properly in utorrent? I've recently switched to it (from azureus) because it takes up a LOT less memory, and speed should depend on the torrent not the software you're using..

junetta · 19-05-2006, 19:57

I think so, but admit that I'm quite new to this. I reckon it might be better for me to stick with Azureus.
