BItComet0.60 has made my comuter sluggish. Anyone else have that?
IS there another BT client that allows one to select files from a torrent rather than just the whole torrent?

No need for the double threads.
Azureus is a great BT client which allows you to select which files you want, as well as uTorrent.

uTorrent has quickly became my favorite bittorrent client.

i agree, utorrent is a great replacement for bitcomet. Even has mainline dht just like bitcomet.

if u use DTH, disable that and this should solve your problem, if not, give more details.

When I have a lot of active torrents open in BitComet, other programs get sluggish. Thunderbird, for example, sometimes takes up to a minute to display a message. This behaviour goes away when I close BitComet (at least it seems to be BitComet that is the culprit).
I have tried Azereus and uTorrent and like them, but neither seems to be as easy as BC for selecting which files you want out of a large torrent. Am I missing something?
As for BHT(?), will disabling this make a difference? Do I need it for anything?
