Strange that BitLord isn't on the list of clients for the poll

From what I've been reading here and there BitLord contains spyware, whereas BitComet doesn't. In any case, BitComet was first, BitLord is a rip-off that uses BitComet code and then adds their own links and whatnot.

Check screenshots on their site. It's the same app, except bloated and advertised everywhere.

Bitcomet is the best for now, and I used to use Azureus - but it started crashing on me ever since the new version - and getting 100% CPU usage.

ddesjarl · 06-29-2005, 10:22 PM

I use Azureus 2.3.0.2 .... does everything I need.

**tensegg** · 06-29-2005, 11:32 PM

BitComet, tried all of em, and I find it the best, and original BT of course.

**Dredpirate** · 07-02-2005, 08:19 PM

Azureus, just buy more RAM. You know ya want to anyway.

**brouhaha** · 07-03-2005, 04:36 PM

yet abc

**Floorfiller** · 07-03-2005, 08:09 PM

bitcomet 0.58+ patch works fine for me

**coolbeans42** · 07-04-2005, 07:18 AM

Bittornado all the way!

**BunnyBoiler** · 07-06-2005, 11:28 AM

I am using Azureus 2.3.0.0 - 2.3.0.4 has cpu upto 80%!!! has anyone heard of bits on wheels?! its for the mac - looks quite good...

**fadedrocks** · 07-10-2005, 11:40 PM

get an antivirus..

.. something like kaspersky... a firewall and a ad clener won't hurt either
I personally use azureus cause it has tons of things in it

**xwingz76** · 07-11-2005, 06:00 PM

I use BitComet.
I have tried a great deal of other clients and I found that bitcomet works best for me

**noone976** · 07-11-2005, 06:39 PM

I use bitcomet as well. Tried a bunch of clients but comet seems to be the nicest layout, easier use, and works consistently.

**Geekless** · 07-11-2005, 07:00 PM

I just have to say that my favourite BT client is bitcomet (btw DC++ is my favourite directconnect client).

**armorer** · 07-12-2005, 07:15 PM

I use Azureus, and wait for a little while before applying any upgrades until it generally looks stable.

**{I}{K}{E}** · 07-12-2005, 07:29 PM

Please don't post replies like:

'I use Azureus' or just 'BitTornado'.

We can see what you use if you vote in the poll.

**falconman515** · 07-14-2005, 03:56 AM

I use BitTornado all the way used it since day one, the others have to much dumb crap in em' bittornado is so easy and simplified and uses less resources, no java, and faster speeds in my opinion!!!

**GepperRankins** · 07-24-2005, 01:00 PM

i used to use torrentstorm but the upload limit just didn't work so i'd often find it uploading at the maximum possible 30KBps, meaning i couldn't download or use the internet for anything else as upload effects download on my adsl.

i now use azureus, the limits work better but even though i have a gig of RAM, azureus doesn't think there's enough room to run a game at the same time

**testos** · 07-24-2005, 03:01 PM

bitcomet is easyer and better in my opinion.
u need just to set up the connections correctly. and get a good port and set your upload limit not too high, and you will get good speeds.
my connection 2MBiT (260kbps) and with torrents i get every time a minimum of 100kbps

that means my downloads are fast... with azureus, i had problems, needed java, alot of ram and patience. bitcomet is the sweetest client ever!

**oscarxp** · 07-24-2005, 06:30 PM

What ports are you using

**Eclectic_Loner** · 07-25-2005, 03:04 AM

What's wrong with azureus' latest version? I'm new to using these clients.

How do I use the advanced features of azureus? What are they? Other than changing the ports by adding "1" (based on the guide in this forum on how to speed up BT) there doesn't seem to be any advanced feature but then again I have no idea about these things usually

Yeah, be ashamed, rossco, be very ashamed.

I'm using Azureus, Bittornado has never worked properly on this machine.

Anyhow, I prefer azureus 'cos it gives me more control, it seems like, tho' it screwed up my OS once, on a very hot day when I had lots and lots of torrents running at the same time. NB overheat from all the transfers, I think.

**RPerry** · 07-29-2005, 09:36 PM

Azureus

I actually first started using bitcomet, but couldn't be " connectable" everywhere. I used the same port I'm using for Azureus now, so I give away a little ram for being connectable everywhere

your welcome Ike

Azureus!!!!

Azureus is a huge resource hog but it gets the job done and has an excellent interface.

**defconx** · 07-30-2005, 04:25 AM

bitcomet... because... it;'s the only one that i like... hehehhee

Don't feel too bad, I did the same thing and got PM'ed by a mod

**awsome_o** · 08-02-2005, 05:31 AM

i agree, azureus is heavy load on my pc but its well worth it for its easy to use and understand interface

Waquert · 08-02-2005, 09:14 PM

BitComet is the best for me

**riggits** · 08-03-2005, 06:50 AM

BitComet has some issues when Windows runs out of virtual memory

other than that, it's perfect! Azureus is still too slow...

**lilrbbt** · 08-05-2005, 01:46 AM

I find that BitComet is the easiest and most user friendly, much better than those others

**banquo** · 08-05-2005, 12:35 PM

Azereus, but it sure gobbles up the memory. Might try BitComet after reading this thread.

**Share Guy** · 08-05-2005, 09:23 PM

Bitcomet for the interface

**krillelill** · 08-06-2005, 09:24 AM

used bittornado a long time before switching to bitcomet, i still get the best speeds with bittornado, but the upload rate is much better in bitcomet, a big plus if you are a member on ratio based sites
