    uTorrent has far surpassed BitComet.

  • vojta

    bitcommet is stupid

  • Ragnarok

    thanks for the suggestions ppl…(yes bitcomet is stupid.)

  • Username314

    I don’t know. I wish they can make uTorrent connect to as many users as Azureus and still use no RAM. Azureus always shows more peers than uTorrent for me but it’s too much of a resource hog.

  • drugs

    bittornado for sure

  • FQ

    The fact that BitComet CAN communicate with private trackers, and utorrent, nor azureus CAN’T, makes BitComet far more competent than those two clients. But for all of you BitComet-haters: FQ!

  • Ragnarok

    yea i tryed both Azureus and uTorrent…and neither of them would start my downloads…when bitcomet started them in less then 10seconds sooo it’s bitcomet for me!

  • HumanBeing

    i agree to ragnarok that bitcomet connects faster than those two, but whenever i open a topic about “BITCOMET & BITTORNADO” and “AZUREUS & OTHERS” they say that azureus and others are much greater than these to think that i tried all those and nothing compares to bitcomet when it comes to speed downloading and they said that bitcomet are more of a leecher than a seeder but if you can download much speed to bitcomet it means that there is a lot o seeder on bitcomet and when i look at the IP of those who seeds the IP tracker shows bitcomet & azureus. =D

  • AbsoluteAuthority

    BitComet Rules… I hv tried almost all popular downloaders.., viz., azures, bit-tornado, bitLord, u-Torrent and others… they all suck… Bitcomet is faster… and who told tht it takes much space… idiot… if 5 Mb is too much for u.., thn STOP DOWNLOADING STUFFS :P

  • drugsrat

    is there a easy way to tell me whats the richt formula of the up ,download setting for bittcomet ??

    Bitcomet sucks – every single jackass that tries to leech off me is using bitcomet – these morons connect and claim to be 80% complete but I am transferring 10 times more to them than they are to me, even though I’m at 10%.

    Bitcomet users are either evil, stupid, or both – no wonder more and more more trackers are banning the steaming pile that is bitcomet.

    All you people who say BC is faster – that’s because it’s leechware, already! I’ve bet you noticed that it’s faster to cut in front of everyone else when you’re in line at the store. Please do that as often as possible (and post pics showing us your bloody face after you get pounded for it so I can laugh at what morons you are).

    Hi! My name is Chris and I work at Help.com. One of our members posted a question, and after reading your blog, I thought you might be able to provide a quick expert answer to this question.

    “How do i download games and let it work with bitcomet?”
    http://bogyshots.blogs.help.com/post/3/how-do-i-download-games-and-let-it-work-with-bitcomet

    Thanks!

  • Dude.

    Dude I’m sick of idiots blaming bitcomet for everything wrong with torrents.

    BITCOMET FREAKING SUCKS. But NOT BECAUSE ITS A LEECHER CLIENT, cause it’s NOT!!

    BITCOMET IS A SEEDER CLIENT!!

    Anyone who has any idea how torrents and the internet in general works, and has bitcomet, would never call it a leecher client. Bitcomet is a poorly made, quick to upload, slow to download, piece of crap.

    All my torrents are consistently at a 17 :1 share ratio or more because bitcomet doesn’t know how to handle peers. At the start of a torrent it will connect to peers, peak out, then proceed to DISCONNECT FROM ALL PEERS WITH ANY DL SPEEED FOR NO REASON, THEN GIVE ALL THE UPLOAD BANDWIDTH U ALLOW AWAY!!! and EVERY time it goes up again for a second, it will disconnect from the specific peer giving u any DL SPEED!!!

    It’s consistently like this with every torrent, it has nothing to do with seed/peer ratio’s.

    Azureus on the other hand, connects to peers and maintains the connection, then gets more, like it has common sense.

    Watching bitcomet connect and disconnect from peers is like watching an autistic kid with ADD attempt to do a puzzle.

    Don’t get Bitcomet. NOT because you care about torrent health, but beCAUSE u eventually want to finish your downloads and enjoy them.

    My current torrent is at 15.7 gig uploaded,
    3.5 gig downloaded. The only reason I’m using bitcomet is because it supports proxy servers.

    for the love of god, don’t download it.

  • Dude.

    and Chris from help.com, either u, or the person who asked u that question, is an idiot.

    that’s not even an answerable question because it makes no sense.

    if bitcomet was a person I’d beat his head in. seriously.

    Check this out if you want to leech -> BitComet 0.71 Beta Leecher Pack

  • need a seed

    was just downloading a torrent…”miami vice” had loads of seeders was going quite quick 130kb/s then at 98.9% randomly decided to stop and all the seeders dissapeared and im left with people just uploading my 98.9% off me now for the past day! what has happened anyone know?

  • Random

    Dude. I have read your post of detest. If you hate it so much and clear our vision, could you atleast tell the software you recommend for seed and/or leech?

  • Random

    Oh yeah by the way Dude… Always when im downloading something at for example 100kbt down it seemse to seed double of what im downloading to a huge number of people, in my personal opinion i dont find this a leech software at all if i gather the info together what you wrote about. Just now in this second im seeding 616kb/s
    to 62 peers. Although i get annoyed sometimes that my seed exceeds my leeching… So by that i can’t agree with your opinion and i appologize for me being rude. And i am still intrested in your personal recommends of different downloading softwares. I applogize once again for being rude.

  • zer

    Ahem. Yeah, bitcomet sucks. It does nothing better than uTorrent or Azureus, but it’s generations behind of azureus in terms of features and general completion as a client. Now the fact about bitcomet connecting faster than other clients, is the fact that it cheats. It cuts in lines. And it does it a lot. When a normal client sends a request for a piece it gets put in a queue, not quite sure what the principal behind the queue placing is (i think it’s first come first served), but still they have to wait till the seed has a connection to spare for us. Meanwhile, bitcomet makes some sort of bogus information in its request for connection and gets boosted up the queue, hence connecting faster.

    Bitcomet is a good client for niggers. So if you’re a nigger you should definitely use Bitcomet.
