  1. [Mod. Edit - You do not have to quote a long post, if it is directly above yours.] Sorry about that. So excluding manually scraping the tracker, do you know how BC's scraping the tracker compares to Utorrent or/and Azureus? Are you saying that there is no difference?
  2. What does "spamming the tracker" mean, and does BitComet 0.70 do it? I belong to a private tracker community that just recently decided to add clients to their ban list(B*tS*up). What doesn't make sense to me is that many other trackers that have always banned all releases of BitComet, many of them have unbanned the 0.70 release. BS has always allowed their members to use BitComet(not sure which releases, but i know 0.70 because i've used it ever since i joined 20 weeks ago), and now all of the sudden they ban ALL BitComet releases. The big reason for banning it, from what i've heard, is because it spams the tracker. I know that many Utorrent and Azureus users like to tell people a few things that are bad about BitComet, stuff that has been fixed. But they still say it, and so the more of them that post these things, the more people believe it. So i need to know, from somebody that definately knows, if this is true or/and how it compares to Utorrent and Azureus in this respect?
  3. You have to get an invite from someone, or accounts are always being deleted and replaced by new member accounts. You just have to keep checking their site and trying to register.
  4. Wouldn't have been possible without you guys on this forum! Dark Shroud, Saraiya, The UnUsual Suspect, and kluelos...You guys are the sole reason for making this happen. Thanks a million, and keep up the great support! :D
  5. UPDATE BitComet 0.70 and above is now unbanned on HDBits! Thanks to all of you for your help in the matter. It's great to see that you CAN make a difference if you just stand up and present the facts! Thanks to Valerio and the rest of the Admin over on HDBits for their unbiased and honest evaluation of BitComet! For anyone who like's HD, it is a great site! And now the BitComet community has the same opportunity to enjoy it, just as rest do!
  6. If it's not user friendly for the ''noobs'', they won't use it. This would cause BitComet to loose many future users to other clients. It could, however, be a great client for ''noobs'' and still have all the features that the ''advanced users'' want. Why not do it like this...Make the base BitComet client, with a good bit of the priority going to being ''noob user friendly", a favorite among ''noobs''. This will continue to help make BitComet one of the most used clients out there. Then you could have more advanced plug-ins available to the more advanced users looking for more features and/or customization. It makes more sense to have the advanced user ''customize'' or add/remove features via plug-ins(or basically, do all the work), since these things shoud be fairly simple to do for them. Basically, try to make a great client for all classes of users. Also, BitComet definitely should do everything possible to make it private tracker friendly. The biggest thing this client has going against it is its reputation(which superseeds it), no pun intended, in the bittorrent community. With all the private tracker communities popping up, it's very important to stay off the banned lists. There are many past BitComet users who have since switched to other clients as a direct result of these private communities. If their client is on the banned list, they are forced to switch to one that isn't on the list(most often Utorrent). Those are just my two cents! :D
  7. Here's the response to what you wrote kluelos: UPDATE BitComet 0.70 and above is now unbanned on HDBits! Thanks to all of you for your help in the matter. It's great to see that you CAN make a difference if you just stand up and present the facts! Thanks to Valerio and the rest of the Admin over on HDBits for their unbiased and honest evaluation of BitComet! For anyone who like's HD, it is a great site! And now the BitComet community has the same opportunity to enjoy it, just as rest do! It works :) this way U can determine the speed of each peer and compute the best distribution for fastest completion of all peers.seems like the guy has no idea what he's talking about :) I'm in the HDBits forums, and trust me, its me against the world! I did, however, manage to get the Admin's to consider unbanning 0.70 and newer. They told me they would have no problem unbanning if a BitComet user could show them where the SuperSeeding issue was fixed. When i directed them to take a look at 0.70 and up, they said that it looked like BiTComet had addressed the issue. I figured that was that, and i could expect it to be unbanned soon after. They haven't done so yet, and one of the Admin's just started a poll on the forums: If Bitcomet were unbanned, would you use it? So i don't know if they are going to do what they said they'd do, or let the anti-BitComet community decide? You guys should grab an account and give BitComet a voice. Like i said, its me against everybody else, and i'm not the person who should be representing BitComet because i don't know enough to defend it. So please, it would be great to have some experts show up and sort out what's what! Thanks to everyone here for there help!
  8. Try lowering your Maximum Connections per task to 70 or so, and if that works you can keep raising it until it kicks your connection again. Set it to just below that number. You can get to Max Connections by clicking on the Preferences tab, then click on Connection, then click on Maximum Connections per task and set it to 70. Its the fifth option from the top, directly under Remove Port on NAT/Firewall(XP only). Hopefully this will solve the problem for you. If not, you might have to reconfigure your router.
  9. So i told them that the SuperSeed issue had been fixed in 0.70, and they said they want to see the SuperSeed fix confirmed. I don't have the knowledge myself to know how to do this, so any help? This is the actual post in response to my post: or BTW, its from 0.71
  10. So i posted what Soraiya wrote on their forums, and got no response from an Admin. yet, but i did get responses from the Utorrent nazi members of the site. I'm getting the sense that it's very much a pro-Utorrent site, starting from the top. Here's some of the responses: 1. Who cares, µTorrent is a better client anyways... 2. Yeah, its prolly better and all that, but µTorrent owns, so why bother using something else? 3. well, i hate the app, not because of the cheating, but cause of the following: http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Super_Seeding wrote: Comment: BitComet interferes with Super Seeding? It looks like BitComet doesn't play nice. BitComet clients disconnect and reconnect as soon as they have a piece downloaded from the Azureus superseed. Thus, Azureus never gets a chance to determine whether the client is a big uploader. To make matters worse, for some reason Azureus will upload to the "new" peers before uploading to known big uploaders. It appears to me this has a pretty bad effect on the effectiveness of superseeding. I get much better performance if I regularly kick and ban all BitComets manually. 4. it's like Windows - once a mess, always a mess The only post that sounds half intelligent is #3. Is this true? The rest are just what you're speaking of, kluelos! Just biased people who don't even know why they're biased!
  11. What "useragent" does BitComet use, as stated in, "As far as I know all the bitcomets are banned, i just did a blanket ban of the useragent it uses which i don't think they've changed."
  12. Thanks for your help. I'll forward this writing to the site Admin. and see what he has to say.
  13. I just recently became a member of the HDBits Private Tracker Community, only to find out that they have a blanket ban on all releases of BitComet. I know, I could just download Utorrent and use that client for their tracker, but all I've ever used is BitComet and that is what I'm used to. I really don't want to have to learn how to use a new client all over again, and on top of that, why should people have to have any more than 1 client on their computer. Since I'm far from being an expert on BitComet, other clients, computer programming/code, etc..., I need some help from some BitComet fans who are! I asked them on their forum why ALL BitComet releases were banned, and this is the answer I got: I believe him when he says that 70% use utorrent on THAT site, but what would that number be if BitComet were not banned. But back to the point, he says he's willing to unban BitComet if they've "fixed all the problems there were"? I don't even know what specific "problems" he's referring to, but I'm sure there are a few of you that know all about these things. All I know is the fact that many other private torrent sites ban the earlier releases of BitComet, but not the more current ones. That lead me to believe that "problems" were fixed enough on newer releases as to make them "legal" on these private sites. So could someone please help give me some ammo to take back to this site Admin.? I figure it's worth a shot, and it would help all BitComet users as well as all the torrent community, regardless of the client they choose!
  14. Sorry, i thought i might have posted under the wrong section and thought this was more appropriate. Won't do it again.
