BitComet banned on MT, SCT

[kbs2006abcd]

The BitComet torrent client will no longer be permitted on SceneTorrents.


probably because of the DHT.

B careful you can get your accounts closed.

thks for tat, wats MT anyway??

[dolev]

what is DHT??

[Skiz]

No kidding. What are these abbreviations and why are they "not allowing" BitComet?? :ermm:

[Delorean]

Azureus doesn't use DHT network?:ermm:

What is MT.(could it be midnight torrents?)

DHT network is a network that Bitcoment is connected to which allows it to find more peers to connect with the cliend and help you out with your download..
At least this is what i know...:unsure: i could be wrong...

At least this is what i know...:unsure: i could be wrong...Almost right. The problem is that it also allows people to connect to you and download from you without being a member of the tracker site.

I'm told DHT is blocked simply by marking the torrent in the right way (private flag?), but some sites aren't convinced so they are going down the same old banning route that the better sites used before the problem was resolved.

As Delorean implies Azureus uses DHT too, except that it is a version which is not compatible with other torrent clients. I believe utorrent uses the standard DHT, how come that isn't banned? Ignorance by the people who run those sites?

really?

damn i liked bit torrent

what about utorrent?

is that affected?

u could not always disable e DHT thing rite by e torrent itself, coz in bitcomet there is a workaround...
pple look in e options, so I'm not suprised at all, that they banned BitComet just wondering what took them so long??

BTW i've been using BitComet for quite a long time its a gr8 client!

Found out that BC is being banned because it does not always honour the private flag, if you select the option "Add DHT as backup tracker".

Pisexy is banning it too so it looks like I'll have to find another client. Utorrent isn't banned AFAIK and it looks quite good so I'll give that a try.

[Delorean]

Damn.. If pisexy is banning BitComet, then, i'll have to start looking for another client aswell...:( i really like BC

[Mantorok]

Torrentit is also banning BitComet!
I really liked it :-(
I hope they fix the problem when the nex version comes.

[tree_for]

yup confirming tat tit is banning BC until further notice...

[erRor67]

Azureus, Original Bit Torrent, and uTorrent support the DHT too (all honor the private flag AFAIK so they shouldnt be banned). I recommend getting uTorrent cause its small (112KB), stand alone exe (no install, no multiple files) and has a shit load of nice features.

But news of banning BitComet isnt that new.. Ive known of many private sites that ban it (cause didnt honor the private flag).

[kbs2006abcd]

Oink BAN Bitcomet as well.

[ButWay]

someone, with the skills to do so, should create a mod that disable the DHT alltogether and makes the client report something like "modded bc". kinda like they did with the peer ex. thingie

[tree_for]

i thght e whole bit comet is banned aint it??
I would be so happy if they allowed 0.59

[ButWay]

Yeah every version of bitcomet is currently banned

[Hipnotik]

was an avid user of BC, but after the banning just started using uTorrent.
pretty good little client, but will be waiting for BC to apply their fix and the bans lifted.

[kbs2006abcd]

WB banned all versions of BC all so

[top25]

Yeah alot of trackers are following the leader.

[kbs2006abcd]

Bitmetv too

[Vargas]

...will be waiting for BC to apply their fix and the bans lifted.
you might have to wait until EVERYONE upgrades as well :w00t:
(dont hold your breath)

[hadoka]

azureus is the best .. but be aware of the l33ch3r Edition ... it will bann u ..

[top25]

The fact is any client can leech like Bitcomet people think utorrent and Azuerus is safe mainly that's just not true.utorrent and Azureus have the same options to do what Bitcomet does.

[Yoga]

this is terrible, I just stick to public trackers till they come out with a new version

[titoman]

yeah utorrent rocks, my laptop is fast again!!!
