Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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 0.7
"A nice alternative from traditional p2p applications"
Pros: You will have far less infected files than users of LimeWire, Morpheus and Bearshare. BitComet takes a little while to get use to if you have never tried a Torrent client before. You can scan through the pages and select numerous music, video, and software files to download. It also doesn't take a lot of system resources which is great for users who have 256MB of ram or less. Give BitComet a try...it's free.
Cons: I felt the downloads were slower than other p2p apps. Also, there are not many ways to search for specific files.

Version: BitComet 0.7
Pros: Nice options for a bt client. Free. Improved download speeds and built-in search for torrents. As all bt clients, good for the large files.
Cons: Seems a little unstable, though it does a good job. I still rate azureus higher.

"Good ! But, but there are other which are better ."
Pros: This BitTorrent client supperts some aggressive searching capabilities. searching from this client is breez. Good download/upload speed , supports wide range of firewalls , clear interface and quite easy to use. Chatting and limiting speeds are my favourite features. Moreover this version is much faster than previous version . overall if it is not best, than atleast one of the best.
Cons: Inbuilt browser is simply below average. Still little unstable , though it is very light on system resources. But overall it is good .
