Publisher's description of BitComet 0.65
From BitComet:BitComet is a powerful, clean, fast, and easy-to-use BitTorrent 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, chatting, disk caching, speed limits, auto port mapping, proxies, and IP filtering.
Version 0.65 fixed some small GUI bugs.
Editor's review of BitComet 0.65
stars
- "Browse and download"
- Version reviewed: BitComet 0.65
This free P2P application lets you find and download files using a unique system. On the left side of the three-pane interface, you choose from a long list of Web pages that contain files you can download. Different sites offer different types of files, and the subject matter is usually apparent by the name. When you opt to download a file, a smaller file appears on your desktop, which you then open in BitComet.
After a bit of a wait, the application aggregates users that have your requested file and starts a swarm download that gradually grows in sources and speed. We like the enormous variety of files available for download, but aside from paging through categories, there are not many ways to search for specific files. Still, the addition of a preview function helps. The BitComet client offers chat capabilities, stats trackers, and the ability to bookmark your favorite sites.
Overall, we think BitComet and the BitTorrent system are a great alternative to most file-sharing apps, and the fact that this download is free sure doesn't hurt.

Version: BitComet 0.65
Pros: It's free without adware and spyware.Has alot of info available about the download.Pretty good interface too.Easy to use.
Cons: If it were not for the fact that I liked it so much the first 2 hours I had it, I would have given this a 1 star.I have version 0.66 and it will make your browsers not work, espesially while your downloading.It crashes.Made me think I had a virus.Many torrent sites seem to not like bitcomet.Slow downloads.

Version: BitComet 0.65
"Manager Interface, Supports Encryption. Good!"
Pros: It has a download manager like interface which allows you to manage multiple torrent downloads. Also supports encryption so that means if your ISP is blocking P2P traffic, you can use it to download at a good speed. Most ISPs are blocking P2P traffics now, even with port forwarding, you still couldn't download, so the only solution now is encryption.
Cons: Speed is a little bit slow compared to other clients such as Azureus.
