Publisher's description of BitComet

BitComet is a fast and easy-to-use BitTorrent/HTTP/FTP download client. It is P2P file-sharing freeware and one of the most popular P2P protocols designed for high-speed distribution. BitComet supports simultaneous downloads, DHT networks (trackerless), a download queue, selected downloads in the Torrent package, fast-resume, disk caching, speed limits, auto port mapping, proxies, and IP filtering.

Editor's review of BitComet

• 3.5 stars

• "A different take on torrents"

• Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt
• Reviewed on: December 4, 2008
• Version reviewed: BitComet 1.13

Taking a slightly different approach to solving the multimedia lover's dilemma of how best to download torrents is BitComet, which uses an interface heavily cribbed from Windows Explorer--with a dose or two from the basic BitTorrent template--to create something instantly recognizable to the user.

There's a familiar tree of features on the left, including links to torrent-aggregating Web sites and several promotional offers. The top of the app has big buttons with familiar icons, the center window shows the files being downloaded, and the bottom pane has tracker and peer info. The pane on the right rounds out the layout, with a torrent search feature and advertising. Among the usual features, BitComet offers chat capabilities, the ability to bookmark your favorite sites, a toolbar for Internet Explorer 7, and a context menu for Firefox 2.

While the app held its own against better-known competitors in terms of speed and handling multiple torrents, we found the ubiquitous advertisements to be annoying compared to the competition's ad-free environs. Overall, we think BitComet is worth trying and could become a major torrent app in the future.

  Version: BitComet 1.13

  "This really, really sucks!"

  by charming_baka on July 7, 2009

  Pros: Pros... Ummmm It was easy to install sorta...

  Cons: Where to begin... I couldn't downlaod any music, just junk files. It was awful. The searching is so quickly done, most of the time there were no results, even with popular artists. So I uninstalled it (which was difficult, but it worked.)

  Summary: Go download "Frostwire" It's soooooooooo much better.
  
  Avoid this malware/toolbar carrying software!

  by chainsore on June 30, 2009

  Pros: free, multiple torrent downloads
