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"
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.
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.

"The best Bittorrent program available, period"
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."
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?
