One downside of BitComet is that you are pestered with ads from time to time within the main interface. The result of this is that it doesn’t slow down your PC as receiving large amounts of data can sometimes do. If you are lucky enough to get download transfer rates of 500 kb/s or higher, activating it allows BitComet to cache the data to access the disk less frequently. Note that this release is also the first bittorrent client to issue a stable 64bit versionĪnother interesting feature on BitComet is the ‘intelligent disk cache’ which really comes into its own on high speed connections. Most recently, BitComet are experimenting with a feature that enables you to download some or all of the data in torrents from non-bittorrent sources, or even from peers of other torrents with all, or some of the same content.

It’s a great way to avoid broken links, but, on the downside, it will slow down your download considerably. One of the more handy features of BitComet however is a ‘preview media’ option, which forces the torrent to download sequentially instead of randomly thus allowing you to preview any multimedia downloads. One of the reasons for this is that BitComet doesn't have as many users as it once had as more effective and user friendly alternatives entered the market. Once files have started downloading, the regular stop, pause, cancel, update etc options are all available on BitComet plus a handy 'remove torrent & all files' option which removes all trace of an unwanted torrent from your PC.ĭownload speeds are OK although not as good as similar P2P apps such as uTorrent. The interface is similar to that of eMule with features running down the left hand pane, control buttons across the top and the torrents that are downloading in the main window in the center. BitComet has been around on the P2P scene since 2003 and is still going as a BitTorrent/HTTP/FTP download client.īitComet allows you to exchange files with other users although it must only be used for those files which can be legally exchanged online.
