Bitlord V2 Released, Now Supports eDonkey
Written by Ernesto on April 03, 2007After 2 years of silence the controversial Bitlord client just rolled out a new version which is not longer based on the BitComet core. The new Bitlord 2.0 Beta is “Vista ready” and one of the first BitTorrent clients to include eDonkey support, thereby allowing its users to download from both networks simultaneously.
The 2.0 Beta is built on a new core so there are a few features missing on the BitTorrent side that are being worked on right now. The stable version will probably be ready within 2-3 weeks and includes UPnP support, a torrent creator and RSS Support, among other features.
Bitlord is now developing alongside Iphant which is also a BitTorrent / eDonkey client. The addition of eDonkey support makes it possible to use both networks to download a file which might speed up BitTorrent swarms that have only a few seeders. If the .torrent includes ed2k hash it is downloaded via BitTorrent and eDonkey, if not, it can be joined with the wizard you can find in the file context menu.
The fact that Bitlord is no longer based on BitComet 0.56 which by itself is a great improvement. The client is spyware free but it does contain adware. Currently is has a banner on the bottom of the application, and some advertisement for the Bitlord pro version, which is basically the UseNeXT client that is advertised on many BitTorrent sites.
Throughout its existence Bitlord has always been a controversial client. Like BitComet, Bitlord is banned from quite a few private trackers because it allegedly disobeys the BitTorrent etiquette, and bullies other clients. However, Bitlord is now moving in the right direction and according to the Bitlord developer it should absolutely be accepted by private trackers. We’ll see what the future brings.

The stubbornness to continue with the adware is still going to turn people off from this client. That said, it’s good to see they are now committed to developing the program and adding new features to it. I don’t think people are going to rush to switch to BitLord, but hopefully it’ll force the hands of other clients to up the anty with new features, like others have to BitLord. Competition is always welcome in the Bit Torrent client field.
better than most of the crap ass torrents programs the others are slow as hell you can at least reach over 100 KB download just depends on your connection and the seeder.
thanks

always depends on your connection and the seeder. USE UTORRENT, IS BETTER THAN BITLORD 2.X
I’ve been using the torrent network for about 10 months and I’ve tried Bittorrent,utorrent,bitcomet,azureus,and a few more, in fact,all of them did’nt work at all except for maybe bitcomet & none of them worked as well for me as bitlord 1.1 did.I haven’t tried the 2.0 beta version yet but i’m sure it’s great.
Bitcomet is too slow & u cant connect to others as well as u can with U Torrent & eDonkey wtf ? why do ppl keep uing it ? like Limewire its full of viruses, if u want to have to keep reformating ur pc then use these stupid networks !

version 2 beta is great
V2 beta is great with no download limits and selective file extraction… It’s Koooll.
Nice review. I tried the V2 but must say that V1.1 works much more stable for me and occupies less resources when downloading fr example theJudgment Day 5 DVD. I tried several torrent programs and the client with the least resource usage was uTorrent and barely has any weight. It was also the fastest if you forward its port in the ruter!
