For users accustomed to the often sparse interfaces of torrent apps, BitComet surprises with its flashy icons and multitude of options that give you more control over your downloads. For those that want a no-fuss client, the extra features may simply get in the way.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" \/><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Once a torrent is selected for download with BitComet, a dialog pops up allowing you to determine the location to save to and select exactly which files in the torrent you want. Once downloading, the regular stop, pause, cancel, update etc options are all available plus a handy \u201cremove torrent &amp; all files\u201d option which removes all trace of an unwanted torrent from your PC. Many users report the download rates are good although note no particular difference with other client speeds. The best feature however is a \u2018preview media\u2019 option, which forces the torrent to download sequentially instead of randomly thus allowing you to preview any multimedia downloads. It\u2019s a great way to avoid broken links, but, on the downside, it will slow down your download considerably. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Another interesting feature is the \u2018intelligent disk cache\u2019 which really comes into its own on high speed connections. If you are lucky enough to get download transfer rates of 500 kb\/s or higher, activating it allows BitComet to cache the data to access the disk less frequently. The result of this is that it doesn\u2019t slow down your PC as receiving large amounts of data can sometimes do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Forum reports from foreign users suggest that the program has not been translated properly from English, yet this doesn\u2019t affect the capacities of BitComet.  The other downside is that the uninstall procedure is not particularly clean. The application directory remains as does the registry entry although you can remove the former manually and the latter with any good registry cleaner. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">There are simpler clients out there, such as <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"uTorrent\" href=\"http:\/\/softonic.com\/ie\/43961\/utorrent__%B5torrent_\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">uTorrent<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"Azeureus\" href=\"http:\/\/softonic.com\/ie\/31008\/azureus\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Azeureus<\/a> that offer the same download rates but with less fuss. If you have a particularly fast connection, can\u2019t wait for your files to download before watching them and enjoy a torrent client with lots of whistles and bells, BitComet might be\u00a0 for\u00a0 you.<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image142\" alt=\"bitcometlogo.gif\" src=\"http:\/\/softonic-en-dev.elussier.redtonic\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/bitcometlogo.thumbnail.gif\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From slow beginnings, BitComet has risen to become one of the most popular torrent client downloads on Softonic.
