Poll + How far is Bitcomet good ?

[TheMost]

Hi friends ,

I've been enjoying my stay in ThinkDigit Forums ...
I learn't many , Indeed many ..

I would also like to know about bitcomet ...
I am a frequent torrenter and come across many weak torrents and so ..

I have been using ABC (2007 -13 yrs ) and then over to utorrent(2009) and lately (Bitcomet -2011 )

The reason why i switched over is that i am getting super Duper speeds with Bitcomet ( As a free registered user )
I am able to Squeeze the best speed out of poor health torrents ..

Even now i did something
700mb file ( 6 seeds )
Bittorrent 7.2 = max 89KB
utorrent 3.. = max 56KB
Bitcomet = 141KB ( my bandwidth maximum )

Don't worry - in bittorrent and utorrent port were forwarded properly !

See inspite of buggy Bitcomet i get good speeds
Can i carry on or is something weird ?

I heard bad comments about bitcomet ( banned in some trackers )
i have never been banned so

So is there any other aggressive Downloader ??
I Am not selfish about not uploading ! i share enough !


Comeon guys , bro's sis ...
let's have a Discussion !

I have bit comet installed, but never used it really. Voted for µTorrent as I use it primarily. I started it all with Azureus (now Vuze).

Although µTorrent utilizes my full bandwidth, will definitely try bit comet anyways.

[krishnandu.sarkar]

I use uTorrent on Windows and Transmission on Linux

[thetechfreak]

Voted for uTorrent.

I feel its the most bloat free torrent client around. Its the only torrent client I use

[funkysourav]

BitComet is notorious for showing terribly inflated speeds,
it takes the same time or more to download a torrent
when compared to uTorrent

also i have used Azureus/Vuze and its seriously bloated and buggy
it uses 200-300MB Ram as compared to 18MB uTorrent does
also seeding multiple (read >5 torrents) a pain in the ass,
cause when it detects that there a re no leechers it turns off the tracker scrape automatically
there goes your precious seedpoints

There is one.
uTorrent.

Best non bloated, streamlined and a app that does what it is meant to do

Good speed. Its not very good to throttle torrents.

uTorrent serves each purpose.

Looks like a few of you have doubts on working of torrents.
Read this thread

Yeah really.. I used that and nothing was special except that it was very bloated resource hungry and what not.
Bets is Utorrent. Simple and best. You don't have to tweak a thing in this it would work best even on the default settings.

Thanks ... bro

Getting around 125KB on a super healthy torrent

You are welcome.
Just use it on default settings and if you get troubled too much with hash fails and take a look at Utorrent thread. There are optimizations tips there.

[Sarath]

Voted for bittorrent cause i started with it and dont want to switch.

But on a new PC and for my friends i always get utorrent (2nd vote for this). I think this is the best we have now.

Also we know measuring speeds on these torrent and comparing them is not the same as hitting speedtest.net. The number of factors determining the torrent speeds are just too many to actually give a fair comparison.

[Sam]

utorrent: small & simple. & gets the work done.

[TheMost]

Guys, As u told i am using utorrent and getting avg of 112KB on healthy torrent

Any alternative ?

or this is good itself ?

[gameranand]

There are lot and lot of alternatives but none of them are as good as Utorrent so just stick with it.

[ssk_the_gr8]

there's no point to the poll... , it had to be utorrent , simply the best

[Sarath]

I accidently voted for bitcomet. Looks like i cant correct it to vote for bittorrent :/

[TheMost]

Mates , Can i have some negative points on using bitcomet ( If possible detailed )

I want to know what is bad with that before i stop it

[gameranand]

First of all it doesn't show the actual speed of the torrent it usually shows nice speed which is not exact.
Then its is very resource hungry.
It is kind of bloated and settings are not simple
Many torrents blocks this torrent client and because of that some torrent don't download on this one.
Its user interface is not very simple.

Enough????

[asingh]

utorrent and bittorrent. But at times some PTs alert bittorrent as a leech client. Messes up the ratios. I use both. Workstation and DL rig respectively.

[TheMost]

And what about Long term seeds ( It helps me Download faster over weak torrents )
??

Any other Cilent has feature like this ??
Help !

See this

I get 54KB in utorrent (Weak torrent)
But Bitcomet Has 4 long term seeds which accelerates !

Long-Term Seeding: Speed up downloading and revive dead and weak torrents

TBH I don't like this idea. Also it won't help much because as you can see bery few people use this client and this is a client dependent property means it would only help if a peer using Bitcomet has complete files and LTS is enabled in his settings which is unlikely because very few people use this client as you can see from poll and the fellas who use it mostly disable this feature. So it actually don't revive a dead torrent or something its just a bait for you to use this client.

I dont mean to say that it can revive over dead torrent . But i really bother it can speed up weak torrents ..
I downloaded a show which was week . Had 40 seeds and 600 peers ..
Utorrent health was full tower yellow (beta 3.0 version) and after 30 mins the average speed was around 74kB

Decided to try with bitcomet ... First 2mins it too had the same speed . Even 60 . But then it got with 4 LTS and have me good speeds of 110 - 130KB in the status bar ...
Isnt this a good feature while dealing with weak torrents ?

You just try brother ... Try with the torrent which u get slow speeds with utor...

Well don't know about that but even if its true then also I am not going to use that buggy client for just some of my torrents which will be downloaded eventually. Also like I said what is shown speed in Bitcomet is not completely true. So I would rather prefer Utorrent than any other client.

Thanks for your reply brother ..
Last question ..

Are you really sure the speeds aren't real ?

[QUOTE=TheMost;1407857]Thanks for your reply brother ..
Last question ..

Except utorrent can i try some other ??

[gameranand]

Well I have experience with both Bitcomet and Utorrent and I actually downloaded 1 torrent twice just to see if Bitcomet is fast and guess what it showed me greater speed but Utorrent downloaded it faster than Bitcomet.

Well you can try Bittorrent. Thats the second best after Utorrent but still I'll advice you to use Utorrent. Bro it has a damn good support and a really active community to help you if you are in trouble. And also it does what it meant to do with best speed.

[thetechfreak]

Use whichever suits you.
But I will always suggest uTorrent.
