BitComet 0.99 Review

BitComet 0.99 is a free download with no limitations. It requires Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 Server/Vista. It is a great download client. Fast and easy to use, this freeware is one of the most popular of its kind on the web. Simultaneous downloads and DHT networks, a download que, fast resume, disk caching, auto port mapping, proxies, IP filtering, speed limits are supported.

With this latest version, software updates in the system are checked for automatically. There is support for Firefox extension download as well as bug fixing. This interface is heavily cribbed from Windows Explorer. It looks very familiar to the user.

On the left there are features like links to torrent aggregating websites as well as promotional offers. The top features big buttons with familiar icons. In the center window you can see the files to be downloaded. At the bottom pane you will be able to see tracker and peer info.

This software offers chat capabilities, bookmarking, an internet explorer toolbar and a Firefox 2 context menu. Although the speed and ability to handle multiple torrents is a plus, the advertising is a big minus. However it is worth a good look before you decide on your torrent app.
