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 0.75
"Not good for wireless network people, totally wreck ur internet"
Pros: good fast downloads. ONLY for CABLE DIRECT MODEM CONNECTIONS.
Cons: Theres so many connections to other computers that this program hogs all your bandwith and you cannot access the internet or any of the computers connected to your computer cannot access it either. They have to fix this problem
