BitLord

CNET Editors' note: This software comes with TorentMan browser toolbar, that can be installed or uninstalled at the user's choice.

CNET Editors' review

Downloading torrent files isn't something we'd recommend for kids, and definitely not without supervision. BitLord makes that twice as clear, with a link on its toolbar to an X-rated chat forum and a colorful search function that looks like advertising and includes returns for what can be diplomatically described as "adult-only content."

The interface is very reminiscent of the original torrent app, BitTorrent, although the colorful icons add a bit of zing to the layout and make it slightly easier to tell one function from the next. The most useful change is the addition of torrent-managing icons, although they were located in the lower-left section of the screen--not exactly the easiest place to see them. The search, chat, and gaming functions are all based on Internet Explorer 6, so it's hard to tell how secure those connections are. On the other hand, a dedicated Web browser integrated with a torrent client has the potential to be phenomenally useful.

BitLord's download speeds weren't noticeably different from other torrent clients, so even though the innovations were appreciated, the confusing and redundant layout should be improved before we give it a stronger recommendation.

    "the worst bittorent"

    January 14, 2010  |   By incredible-hulk

    Version: BitLord 1.1

    Pros

    there is nothing i can say

    Cons

    The first thing i did not like about this bittorent that it just goes to one site, and it does not go to other sites like vuze and bitcomet. The site that bitlord goes to is btjunkie and that's it that site you can get is on bitcomet and vuze.

    Summary

    The only thing i can say about this bittorent is that is a awful bittorent, and i would never download this bittorent because it is the worst one to have. So if you want a good bittorent try bitcomet or vuze and i can guarantee that you will be happy with either of these two, to tell the truth about this bittorent it is the worst one to be ever made.

    Updated on Jul 3, 2010

    I have downloaded bitlord again and i found that it is easy to use, it is not like bitcomet with so many sites to go to, it only has one that is why it is so easy to use.

    Version: BitLord 1.1

    Pros

    Easy to use, built in browser, search function, ect...

    Cons

    None that I can see

    Summary

    This program is the best torrent program I used. It's easy to use, it has a search function, a built in browser, and I can see where i'm downloading it from, and even see how much each file has done downloading. better than uTorrent in my opinion.

    "The best Bittorrent program available, period"

    June 3, 2009  |   By nathan1984

    Version: BitLord 1.1

    Pros

    Easy interface Speeds have reached over 1Mbps for me since I don't boycott Comcast just to be part of the counter culture like a mac-using hippy and you can easily control any part of the progra and it is LIGHT on system resources

    Cons

    Really, that I don't like the search pan and web browser based off of IE....WHY?!?!????

    Summary

    To put it simply, NO ONE shares what they download on fre trackers, so bitlord is GREAT for those, cause who wants to download a file just to share it when there is NO reward and like 16 seeds and 1 leech....You'll get no ration so why download the file from a private tracker and NOT be able to regain that ration percentage when you can get it for free...There: an argument against sharing

    "Good Software."

    March 25, 2009  |   By keyesdt

    Version: BitLord 1.1

    Pros

    It did what I needed it to do.

    Cons

    Couldn't say.

    Summary

    I downloaded and used this software at the advice and direction of another user. Being a severe novice I have no idea of what actually this software is or does, what a torrent is, or what I would ever use it for again. Any ideas, explanations, suggesstions? Anybody?
