Online Contact . thank you.

The only facts I can tell you is that the developers of BitComet first heard of this from me in 2010, about two years after the claim. I can also tell you that there are two issue involved here.

1. Did AppHit steal intellectual property from FileHippo? As of yet, I’ve seen nothing except FileHippo’s very vague claim, which I can’t really accept as fact because of the assumption that it was BitComet that did it.

2. Does BitComet own AppHit? The answer to this is No. If you’ll look deeper into what BitComet has developed, there are dozens of projects, some successful, some not, many websites, blogs, forums and such, and every one of them has the common “Comet” theme. There was AtComet, MComet, BitCometBlog, CometPlayer, (suffice it to say the list is extensive).

Anything further I say on this matter is speculation because my only connection to BitComet is to support it’s English speaking users and my communications with development are on Technical subjects necessary for myself and our forum volunteers to offer support. I don’t have the need nor desire to get involved in any legal disputes, but with that said, BitComet began using the AppHit service and integrated it into BitComet, much like it has integrated other products/services in the past. When I reported filehippo’s claims to the development team last year, they correctly decided that such a claim would need to be addressed to apphit, and as it was, it could not be given more credibility then any forum or blog post, so to simply end a very successful business relationship over this was premature.

I have to agree with them.

ps. thank you for keeping an open mind

Anyways I’ve asked FileHippo of how they got the idea that BitComet and AppHit are owned by the same guys. If they can’t prove it, I might start believing you guys.

The _ISP_ is located in Dallas, though, so what I said for that part was wrong.
