Bitcomet 0.61 Released

Written by Ernesto on January 11, 2006 

A new version of the popular BitTorrent client Bitcomet was just released. The new release doesn’t ignore the “private flag” like version 0.60 did.

This caused quite some controversy and led to a Bitcomet ban by several private trackers. By ignoring the “private flag” of torrents, so called private torrents became available to non-registered members through the DHT layer. DHT layers are “peer-to-peer” trackers (I like to keep things simple), and these don’t require an ip bound passkey in order to share.

So ScT Torrent, Midnight Torrents, UkNova and TorrentIt.com can embrace Bitcomet users once again.

Tell u people don’t use bitcomet at any cost.I have used it and it downloaded 50 mb junk in 100mb it downloaded it really is a piece of crap.My suggestion is use azureus if u have a dialup line like me.If u have have broadband connection use either azureus or utorrent as if u use utorrent on dialup it will keep only uploading more than downloading.

Don’t listen to that guy above, Bit Comet is a great program and my default for downloading, period. Azerus is crap..it leeches computer resources and the java aspect SUCKS. BC all the way, trust me.

Rally, it doesnt matter what kind of client you use. But mostly, seeders us azureus…. i use utorrent. Just test some crap of each clients! They all have dissadvantages. It also depends on your internet speed!

wise guy. Use them to see. I use bitlord and it’s pretty good.
But friends use bitcomet and they’re pretty happy about it.
So: MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICE

hey there

I have to say that bitcomet is a good program. Its great for broadband connections. My only concern is that it is a system hog when downloading. Perhaps we will see in the future a version that runs smoothly in the background.

Keep the faith!

bitcomet the best for ever and ever….!!!

9 Jan 18, 2006 at 20:02 by iceman30

Well james for ur information i have used both bitcomet and bitlord and both of them suck.People i don’t know why everybody is runnin after shit like bitcomet.It dloads lots of junj if it doesn’t matter to you that u dload 2gb file for 1 gb be my guest and use that piece of crap bitcomet.Or else go with Azureus or Utorrent.

10 Jan 18, 2006 at 20:29 by ragsbava

i do agree with icemans comments…

i have also used bitcomet i dlaoded total 159mb data for 90mb file it junks you to hell, then many sites bannin bitcomet, its junk and for your kind info james_bolos bitlord is clone of comet. why dont you people do ur homework before posting things, right now azureus and utorrent are good clients, Bitcomet does have a spyware toolbar…PLZ DO R&D B4 USIN TORRENT CLIENTS JUST DONT COME AND SHOUT LOUD….tht this is best tht is best…

MY ADVISE TO WISE PPL IS NOT TO OPT FOR BITCOMET IT DONO APPLY TO FOOLS like above

11 Jan 19, 2006 at 05:38 by BC60

Are you guys serious? Bitcomet has got to be the best p2p client out there. Unlike Azureus, utorrent, and whatever other crap is out there, I don’t have to wait like 2 days to dl a 7gb series. with BC i can do it in like 6 hours and not worry about ul/dl ratio crap. Sorry people, but if you have dial-up then you’ll get junk data no matter what. Try and learn how a torrent client works before you go bashing them. chances are…the people telling everyone to go experiment and see which client is better….hasn’t done so themselves…

The time it took me to read this and reply, i just dl a 50mb file with bc60. The speed is mainly due to my high speed connection, but i’m sure there are some dsl and cable users out there getting like 4 or 5kb speeds on popular seeded files…

12 Jan 19, 2006 at 18:06 by iceman30

Well Well what we have here well we can start with ur name its bc60 rite then its okay for u to say things like this bcoz like ur BITCOMET u too r full of junk.Well we can start by sayin that bitcomet is not a p2p client its a torrent client.Well u sayin to ragsbava that people don’t experiment themselves and tell what to do well u can start by reading some technical stuff on wikipedia whats a p2p client and whats a torrent client each of them have different protocols u fool.Well the next thing i can expect from fools like u is azureus is Gnutella client.Ya and u sayin u get junk data on dial up line no matter what like ur a TELECOMMUNICATION ENGINEER.And whom u foolin like 7gb data in 6hrs and not worry about upload download crap then what exactly u downloadin u fool.i think u must have stored that tv series data on some part of ur harddisk and after searchin for 6 hrs u must have got it well i think ur havin hallucinations.And last but not least do u know what is meant by a seed.

13 Jan 19, 2006 at 18:15 by ragsbava

hey iceman good one buddy…”Well the next thing i can expect from fools like u is azureus is Gnutella client”

what can u expect in this world of fools…hey BC60 man u fool or what callin bitcomet a p2p client…and hell with u if u have fast connection if u have then assholes like only leech without carin ratios and uploadin to other people..this is wher the filesharin fails..ppl like u r a black mark on p2p and torrents…and everyone has rite to experiment and tell ppl whts rite and wrong and for ur kind info many site have banned bitcomet and they ill b doin cause it leeches and fuks torrent ideology…..and me has experienced its foolishness 2 times….So stop ur nonsense postin try other clients and post here..and dono waste webpage space by postin ur moronish comments again think and acy BC60 think and act u fool…

14 Jan 21, 2006 at 18:02 by nabei

f you guys r you all fool or crab ?? Azureus runs java and it causes com to be lag and it is really sux. also wat receiving junk data because of dialup or wat client used is all crab. i have a who downloaded a tv series for 3 weeks and it about 6mb to be finish then don knw wat happen he is getting a total of 240mb of junk data. He is no the only one getting this problem and no one knw wat is the problem. iceman don think u r a pro talking tat bc toolbar is a spyware. i hav used bc for 2 year and there isnt a antispyware software tat find any spy in bc. but i believe utorrent is the best seen famous microsoft hav recommend it.

guys read this before say wat p2p and torrent is

torrent
A torrent can mean either a .torrent metadata file or all files described by it, depending on context. The torrent file contains metadata about all the files it makes downloadable, including their names and sizes and checksums of all pieces in the torrent. It also contains the address of a tracker that coordinates communication between the peers in the swarm.

A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network is a network that relies on the computing power and bandwidth of the participants in the network rather than concentrating it in a relatively low number of servers. P2P networks are typically used for connecting nodes via largely ad hoc connections.

16 Jan 21, 2006 at 18:15 by nabei

azureus uses i2p network and software usin it may hav bugs

17 Jan 22, 2006 at 09:52 by obsidian

Well, as to the issues of bad data and files that never finish…don’t you think that it is possible that the RIAA and MPAA (as well as production companies), can tell someone “Make a file of exactly this length and checksum and file name, but make it all garbage and share it over the torrent networks, so we can protect our copywright by preventing good downloads.”?

It can and does happen.

And for god’s sake, learn to type in english, people. ‘l337′ got old 10 years ago.

18 Jan 23, 2006 at 11:58 by ragsbava

listen up guys me is really tired of explainin to u guys how bitcomet is piece of *hit so just c the screenshot me has posted on rapidshare…I dloaded 94.21 mb data for 59.12 MB torrent and it showin ) MB rubbish data…..i use peer guardian and all to block mpaa and riaa and all fake data seeders and this is how bitcomet scre*ed me……
http://rapidshare.de/files/11632499/Bitcomet_TRUTH.jpg.html
PLZ DONO USE IT….

19 Jan 23, 2006 at 17:57 by obsidian

So you rely on peerguardian to catch and update the blocks on *every* fake seeder?
Well, since Peerguardian updates itself every two days… that’s not going to happen. I download from private trackers, and I have never had your problem.

20 Jan 23, 2006 at 18:21 by iceman30

Thanks buddy Ragsbava for ur postin on bit comet.Weel for ur information obsidian plzz read the forum topic for which u have to post ur views we are talking here about bit comet not peer guardian and fake seed stuff so do take care the forum topic.and u may be dloadin from private trackers or public trackers we fuckin don’t care if u start ur own tracker u piece of shit.And for nabei man thanks for information which u have copied from some torrent information site.Also man who the hell u tryin to fool by sayin some statement like this one:-”but i believe utorrent is the best seen famous microsoft hav recommend it.” Well this is the most shit statement i have seen on this site ru high man or did u take some weed while postin such comment.You fool microsoft would be shootin themselves in leg if they start endrosing some torrent client.You piece of shit microsoft is basically against its softwares gettin illegally thru torrent go to site such as piratebay and see for ourselves they r gettin threatning letters from microsoft.And So if microsoft starts endorsing some client they would contradict thier own stand.And as for ur comment that bc toolbar is not a spyware do one thing man go to this site http://www.softpedia.com and dload “Microsoft Antispyware beta1″ and that too “Illeagally” and see for ourselves whether it lets u install bc toolbar or not or for christ sake’s see the rapidshare link given by my buddy ragsbava and see for ourselves and if ur not high as always u will get the story

c this for ourselves u fools who r usin bc0.61

22 Jan 23, 2006 at 21:06 by Ernesto

Pointless discussion over here. Some people like one client other people the other, accept it.
Please keep the internet (and especially this site) free from all this useless comment flaming. Bitcomet works just fine if you configure it right, the toolbar is optional (don’t install it).

I’ve used BC for quite a while a never downloaded that much rubbish. I even compared the rubbish ratio’s of Azureus and BC and there is no significant difference. I’m now using utorrent because of the small fingerprint.

23 Jan 25, 2006 at 19:36 by iceman30

Weel gimme break u just can’t compare that piece of shit like bitcomet with powerful client like a azureus.And the problem with u people ur all fools.

24 Jan 26, 2006 at 05:00 by BETAMASTER

I have used almost every torrent client out there, from a - z i am on a cable connection,400mhz computer and i use bitcomet mostly cause it’s one of the simplest to use and fast aswell if adjusted for your connection. junk data you dont really notice even though im still in the process of testing others to there full extent. Bitcomet is a program though i give it a 9.5 outta 10

25 Jan 27, 2006 at 12:53 by Mr.Subz

I Was Using BC Before i Found uTorrent, Now uTorrent Rulez!!!
