fastest bittorrent client I have used - BitComet

[alex18918]

If you try it, I bet you will be impressed. It's so fast, download always nearly reaches my network bandwidth limit. It's so smart, zero fragments after a long time of use! It's so clever, XP SP2 ready and compatiable with eMule's ipfilter.dat. It uses very very little CPU resources. Below is the intro from www.bitcomet.com website:

by the way, you know, to get max download speed, the upload speed should not be max.

yeah man you are right, bit comet is the coolest bit torrent program, its looks real goods, great features, real hardcore( goes with me cause im hardcore, and tough) and it downloads real fast, everyone should get it, ive tried the other programs that arent even close to this one, you all have no idea I hardly post stuff and you guys were talking about my fav. program so i had to talk about

[serrebi101]

Bitcommet is the best bt client IMO.
that's all I have to say.

[eivioolla]

Yep, it's the best. :)

[Stownplayer]

I like abc better. I still have bitcomet installed just in case i need to download certain parts of a file. Overall, abc uses less resources on my system and uses every ounce of bandwidth i can give it.

Comet Cursor IS spyware!!

[gelo]

wah do u guyz fink of azureus?

i reckon datz by far da best BT client ever.

yay/nay?

[Rajarius]

Azureus is still the best. BitComet comes in a close second. They both need to take lessons from the other.

[TheGateKeeper]

Fuck BitComet & Azueus!!!

Both may look nice, but they both have compliated setups, I for one like simple setups!

To me ABC(Yet another...) blows all other away!! Its simple easy to use and setup, my DL/UL speeds are super fast, little cpu usage, may not look as nice, but it is far more reliable.

LONG LIVE ABC!!!!!

[OMGWTFBBQ!!!!11!1!!111]

Comet Cursor IS spyware!!

Dude.

BitComet is freeware and never has nor ever will have any spyware. "Comet Cursor" is detected by some spyware cleaners because of the unfortunate use of the world "Comet" in the apps title.

Peace out.
