Who here uses "Bit-Comet"?

Most people use utorrent, Bit-Comet is faster for me, Anyway, What client do you use?

bit comet is shit.. to put it bluntly.. most users here ban them from downloading and trackers have banned bit comet as well

it is a known cheater client that sends bad data and can be used to spoof private trackers

Quote:

Firstly, BitComet cheats:

1.BitComet incorrectly uses DHT on private torrents/trackers, even ignoring BitComet's user's settings NOT to if the tracker briefly goes down!

2.BitComet deliberately misreports upload and download amounts to trackers and seeds in order to get the "lion's share" of upload bandwidth from seeders.
(Others have said that using super-seed as a seeder often takes >200% of the torrent's size to create other seeds due to BitComet's cheating-by-default.)

3.BitComet disconnects and reconnects to download more than is fair via optimistic unchoke -- (which is meant to give new arrivals something to share. Sadly, Azereus is reported to do this too. Automatically droping working connections is hostile activity -- it creates lots of churn which costs extra bandwidth for trackers and peers alike.

4.BitComet seems to favor uploading to other BitComet clients, even when getting faster download speeds from other clients. The most extreme case was a private tracker/torrent on a huge college lan with "100mbps" connections -- the person who did this could download at >5mbps if using BitComet but only ~5-15 KB/sec if using µTorrent.

and its been done and asked before

Almost all of us use utorrent. We have stickies and guides and everything related to utorrent only.

Bitcomet is crappy for me anyways. There's a thread already exists about "who uses what .torrent client".
