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.Publisher's description

Version: BitComet 1.03
Pros: I found this program to be the better of the torrent downloading programs available.
It is set out well and very easy to navigate.
I especially like the little transparent window that displays your download kb/s.
Cons: There are a couple of problems with BitComet, however.
1. To get the most out of this program, you must know how something about "port forwarding".
2. My antivirus Nod32 doesn't seem to like BitComet and keeps asking to delete it as a virus/trojen.
3. The occasional pop-up advertising is annoying.

Version: BitComet 1.03
Pros: I hope this version fixed the issue of downloads freezing at 99%. Newer versions are supposed to get better not worse. Yes,I know...press rehash and it will go to 100%. But...can you fix it. Then it will be the best and fasted software. Until then, we'll have whinners and yelling,"Please Seed"
Cons: Freezing at 99%
