As opposed to the rather sparse uTorrent interface, the glitzy BitComet swings in with all manner of flashy icons and a a multitude of options that give you more control over your downloads. For those who want a no-fuss client, the extra features may simply get in the way.
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. This generally helps to make transfer speeds a little quicker than uTorrent. With "out of box" settings one client may perform better with a specific type of connections and a different client with another type of connection, but what makes bitcomet different is that we have developed cross-protocol downloading which allows the bitcomet peer to source the data from outside the bittorrent swarm.
This not only helps the bitcomet peer, but benefits the entire swarm and in some cases can revive a dead or dying torrent without seeders. Many times an unseeded task will not complete, but if a bitcomet peer is able to complete the download from non-bittorrent sources, it can then become a seeder and revive the dead torrent.
This makes the bitcomet peer a valuable asset to the entire community. Bittorrent peers from a different swarm with some or all of the same content I'm not aware of any other client that can do this.
When available bitcomet can download the files from outside the bittorrent network and use the data to construct bittorrent pieces so they can be shared with the swarm. LTseed Long Term Seed , a protocol developed by and proprietary to bitcomet which enables bitcomet peers to share files previously downloaded.
This occurs only when the bandwidth isn't needed for traditional bittorrent downloading and can greatly accelerate the downloads. The combination of these sources can dramatically increase your performance and in addition bitcomet is also developing server-assisted downloading referred to as VIP acceleration. When this works properly it uses state of the art highspeed commercial servers that run the tasks on your behalf and sends you the completed files via LTseed protocol.
Besides increasing the speed, this can also make you anonymous to the swarm. I mentioned "when it works" because it's gotten off to a rocky start and has spent a couple years in beta testing phase but it's slowly developing. When initially released free trials were available to all, which was an epic fail just as it would be if you opened a new fastfood resturant and offered free hamburgers and had lines backed up for miles and not even your paying customers could get a meal, so we had to put strict restrictions on the free trial, at first limited to longstanding members with 80, points or more which was gradually reduced to 40, and I'm sure it will be further reduced as development continues.
I'd recommend if you try it that you consider the purchase a donation, as it's definitely not bug free but it has improved vastly. This is a costly system to implement and develop and the fees are designed to keep it self sufficient and we all have high hopes that it will be, but it's had a rough beginning but if you understand how it works and where it can and cannot help you, it can be a good tool to use, but even without VIP BitComet can outperform other clients as you've witnessed.
Also understand that in order for bitcomet to outperform other clients there must be additional sources for the data available. None of these advanced features can be used on private torrents due to the restrictions in how peers are gathered, so the enhancements apply only to public torrents. I suggest you do some reading at our wiki. There are some links on the main page at bitcomet. The references will have bits and pieces of the data you need. This way, the network load is shared among the sources, which will faster the downloading.
It is a software that lets you download the software using a peer-to-peer file sharing method. It uses a protocol called BitTorrent clients. This distributes the sharing of files across the users who have downloaded the file. It also connects you with the users who are currently downloading the file.
Utorrent is a Bittorrent client that is freely available for users. The software released in and developed by Ludvig Strigeus and owned by Bittorrent Inc.
Utorrent has a user base of more than million users. It is the most popular BitTorrent client outside Asia. So far, you might have got a basic understanding of the two software. Now let us compare the two to understand more about them. There are some similarities between the two. As the same company owns both of them, they are virtually the same product. However, there are some technical differences that you must know:. BitTorrent has four pricing plans. The initial free plan only lets you download a torrent quickly.
It offers you with no additional features. The Pro plan offers fast downloading, no ads, virus protection, and file conversion. Additionally, you can watch your downloaded movies on the go.
