I've used half a dozen clients already including azureus (cpu/mem hog), utorrent (am still using for sites that ban bitcomet). But the one feature of bitcomet that the others don't have that I can't do without is the FORCE MINIMUM UPLOAD SPEED. Without that, i can't get any decent upload speeds. All the clients i've tried give me decent d/l speeds, but only bitcomet lets me prioritize upload speed for selected torrents with few seeds. Tell me utorrent has this feature and i will junk bitcomet this instant. I’ve been using bitcomet ever since version .65 and it doesnt have any adware. what are the non-users talking about?

However, they are still only a pain. Files made of only 0s will not consume their size in bandwidth. Try running an ftp transfer of say, a 10 gig file comprised of 0s, Many TCP/IP data compression schemes would make this a very short transfer. It will produce some overhead that's unnecessary, but not as much as you think. Oh and yeah, Bitcomet still sucks!! They are a pain and sometimes come to significant size.

However, your uTorrent will have to download them anyway to make hash check right; just you won't see them on your HDD. If your torrent has a lot of padding files, swith to BitComet 0.85+ for it - this will save you some bandwidth, since only BitComet doesn't download these empty padding files as of now. @ Ya_Mum:

Please stop murdering the English language like that — there is no “force(d)” involved here.

Considering BitComet development strategy, including of this feature was inevitable. So, while waiting for other developers to do the same to their clients & trackers, users will have to care for themselves. In fact that's easier than it seems. These padding files always contain 'nothing' (hex 00's), and their size is determined by the remainder of empty space in torrent's corresponding pieces. Hence peer can manually reproduce such files in required amounts by copying/merging existing paddings or creating new ones in hex-editor. Note that there's no need for them to be of empty spaces' exact sizes - they can be longer. In this case user's client (e.g. uTorrent) will crop them on next (manual) hash check. Hence the best workaround is to keep a sufficient number of such pre-generated padding files in a handy place and copy them to the folder with BitComet 0.85+ torrent's files. FAT32 users should consider placing paddings in zip/rar archive to save HDD free space; NTFS, on the other hand, won't waste HDD space on empty files regardless of their size. Just make sure you stop your torrent before copying paddings; re-hash it after copying and you're ready to leech real data instead of dummies...
