A C++ BitTorrent/HTTP/FTP Download Client

BitComet is a BitTorrent/HTTP/FTP client that helps you make the most out of the BitTorrent file sharing protocol, aiming to provide high download speeds with a reasonable impact on the system resources.

BitComet is among the top players in this particular category, but it still struggles to face the competition and meet the highest user expectations. Just like all the other BitTorrent clients, its main purpose is to download files at very high speeds and it achieves this successfully. What sets it apart from similar clients is its stability, the support for HTTP/FTP, torrent exchange and anonymous downloads.

BitComet's interface doesn't have an original design, so to say, as it resembles a great deal to other torrent clients. Using it however is not rocket science if you are accustomed with BitTorrent clients.

Feature highlights include multi-mirror and multi-section downloading, quick resume, bandwidth scheduler, a dedicated tool to shutdown computer after the download is completed, Intelligent Disk Cache and Intelligent Connection Optimization.

One of the most appreciated upsides of this client is that it allows you to prioritize the first and the last segments of media files, so you can preview them before the download is completed.

With Bitcomet, you can share your torrent files with other users via a searchable P2P network, a feature called Torrent Exchange. Bitcomet also has support for anonymous downloads through a paid VIP feature, thus preventing others from monitoring your file transfers.

Other features can be enabled or tweaked from the Options section. From here, you can configure settings related to proxy, download task, long-term seeding, integration with Internet Explorer and Firefox, integrated virus scan, download scheduler and remote downloading.

Leaving all these things aside, BitComet seems to work just like other similar tools, although during our tests it proved a bit heavy on computer resources every time we downloaded files at high speeds. It however comes with speed limiters, so you can rest assured that computer performance won't be affected too much when downloading files.

Overall, BitComet still seems to struggle to reach the elite of this software category. Even though it sports a number of unique features, a slightly friendlier approach would definitely give it a boost.

BitComet description


BitComet is a BitTorrent / HTTP / FTP download management tool, which is powerful, fast and very easy-to-use. It contains many advanced features for BitTorrent download and extends its leading BitTorrent technology to HTTP/FTP to accelerate downloading up to 5 - 10 times faster, or more.

BitComet's chief features include an embedded Internet Explorer window for the purpose of allowing users to search for torrents within the program. Along with the features typical of contemporary BitTorrent clients, it supports UPnP gateway configuration, bandwidth scheduling, Webseeding, selecting downloads inside a torrent package, and NAT traversal.

When downloading, BitComet prioritizes the first and last portions of media files so that files may be previewed before they are completely downloaded. BitComet also allows users to share their torrent files on a searchable P2P network.

BitComet uses the Kademlia (mainline) DHT to operate even when the tracker is offline. BitComet is capable of downloading files over HTTP and FTP as well as bittorrent, and it includes download plugins for Firefox, Internet Explorer, CometBird and Maxthon.
Here are some key features of "BitComet":

· Torrent Share: Exchange torrent while downloading
· Magnet URI: Start BitTorrent download without .torrent file any more, using DHT network.
· Preview while Downloading: Preview of .avi .rmvb .wmv and .mov files is available during downloading process.
· Align File to Piece Boundary: Better for making torrent, fully compatible with old versions.
· Intelligent Connection Optimization: Configuration is automatically set to match your connection type.
· Intelligent Disk Cache: Memory cache is used to reduce the read/write frequency of your hard drive, increasing device life.
· Quick Resume: The torrents can be seeded or resumed immediately without time consuming scans.
· Auto Config ICF (Internet Connection Firewall) and ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) in Windows XP
· Auto Config UPNP port mapping in router (UPnP support is required in router, Windows XP is required).
· Option of Disabling and Setting Priority of Files in any torrent: Files can be disabled, so they are not downloaded; or set to higher / lower priority, allowing you to select which file finish first.
· Also support Multi-tracker, DHT, utf-8 extension, and UDP tracker Protocol v2.
· P2P downloading: BitTorrent technology is integrated into HTTP/FTP download, with which BitComet automatically finds other clients and gets data from them to increase your download speed,without additional bandwidth usage of the HTTP server.
· Intelligent File Rename: Automatic choose the best name for your download file.
· Preview while Downloading: Preview of mp3, rmvb, wmv, and qt is available during downloading process.
· Multi-Mirror download: Mirror servers are automatically found for the file being downloaded. Data from these servers are downloaded at the same time to increase download speed 300% or more.
· Multi-Section download: Files are split into several sections which are downloaded at the same time to increase the download speed up to 500% or more.
· Multi-Language Support: Multi-language web pages and encoded URLs can be correctly handled.
· Quick Resume: Stopped download tasks can be resumed from where they left off from both HTTP and FTP servers.
· Global and Per-Task Speed Limit, for Both Upload and Download.
· Bandwidth Scheduler and Automatic Shutdown.
Requirements:

· Internet connection

A free offspring from LimeWire to create a Gnutella client that does not filter any content


FrostWire is a file sharing client; this translates into uploading and downloading data from across the world at decent speeds, no costs involved. It also bundles a chat utility and an audio player.

Once installation finishes, you will enter the setup wizard, where you can configure language, the torrent data save folder, and your chat nickname.

The user interface is quite friendly. Here you select the search engines (ClearBits, Mininova, ISOHunt, BTJunkie, Extratorrent, Vertor, The Pirate Bay, or Monova) and file types (all, documents, programs, audio, video, images, or torrents).

Next, you just enter the search keyword and wait for the results. You can view the size of the file, source, the date it was created, quality and extension type.

By right-clicking a result, you have the option to buy the item online, download it (or partially download it), copy magnet and hash, or repeat the search with that exact result.

In addition to searching for something, you have access to a library in which you can organize files, another section in which you can transfer files to phone and tablets, and a place where you can chat with other users (unfortunately, this feature didn't work in our case, due to network problems).

FrostWire is also highly configurable. The Options section allows you to define speed limits, iTunes song import features, keyword filters, etc.

In conclusion, FrostWire is a great file sharing system that enables you to easily find and quickly download various documents and media content. The download speeds are comparable to those of any other respectable file sharing client, maybe even better.

FrostWire description



FrostWire, a BitTorrent client (formerly a Gnutella client), is a collaborative effort from many Open Source and freelance developers located from all around the world.
Using the most recent version of FrostWire allows users to enjoy the best program functionality. Bugs reported in older versions have been fixed for the latest version. Any users with FrostWire 2.5 or earlier MUST update.



FrostWire is a free Gnutella client based on LimeWire distributed under terms of the GPL. It was created in September 2005 after LimeWire LLC received a cease and desist letter.

FrostWire is a useful file sharing utility that gives you the possibility to transfer files from and to your computer.

The LimeWire open-source community then decided to create FrostWire, - a free offspring using the publicly available sourcecode from LimeWire to create a Gnutella client that does not filter any content.

Note: Some antivirus and antispyware programs flag FrostWire as being infected/malware, although the application is perfectly safe and does not pose a threat to your system. This is called a 'false positive'. The term false positive is used when antivirus software wrongly classifies an innocuous ( inoffensive ) file as a virus. The incorrect detection may be due to heuristics or to an incorrect virus signature in a database. [Similar problems can occur with antitrojan or antispyware software.]
Here are some key features of "FrostWire":

· Completely free & open-source
· Firewall-to-firewall transfers
· Built-in community chat
· No bundled software of any kind!
· Connects to more sources
· Creative commons license support
· Max. speed network connections
· Junk result filters
· Turbo-Charged download speeds
· iTunes integration
· BitTorrent support

Review for µTorrent


This is a bittorrent download client that sports RSS auto-downloading, bandwidth prioritization, Mainline DHT and scheduling

Sharing files over the Internet using torrents is quite popular and there are a few dedicated applications that can facilitate the file transfer. Such a BitTorrent client is uTorrent, a well-known program that ranks high among its peers.

This tool comes with loads of useful features and is very easy to use. Even if the installation is a breeze you should pay close attention to the third-party software included as it may change the settings of your web browser.

uTorrent will greet you with a very nice and simple interface, designed to provide you quick access to its main functions. Thus, you’ll be able to start new downloads, pause, stop or delete the existing ones, or manage the files you’ve already downloaded straight from the main window.

The application enables you to quickly find new content to download using a powerful built-in search function. The RSS capability is another great feature of uTorrent as it allows the user to subscribe to selected feeds for auto-downloading files.

uTorrent also comes with a configurable bandwidth scheduler, speed limiters and multi-language support to make sure you’ll be able to use it in every corner of the world.

But perhaps the most impressive thing about uTorrent is the way it manages to handle downloads without slowing down Windows. We found that out during our tests where it performed flawlessly and the stress on system resources was minimal.

And if that doesn’t convince you to give uTorrent a chance, you should note that it is also able to download the selected content only when you’re away from the computer. It does that thanks to a special function for pausing the torrents when user activity is detected.

All things considered, it's safe to say that uTorrent remains a heavyweight player in its category, having milions of users worldwide to emphasize that. With a complete feature pack, great ease of use and seamless integration with any system, this software is definitely a keeper for anyone who uses torrents to share files.

µTorrent description



Most of the features present in other BitTorrent clients are present in µTorrent, including RSS auto-downloading, bandwidth prioritization, Mainline DHT and scheduling (compatible with BitComet).

Additionally, µTorrent supports the Protocol Encryption joint specification and peer exchange.

µTorrent was written with efficiency in mind. Unlike many torrent clients, it does not hog valuable system resources - typically using less than 6MB of memory, allowing you to use the computer as if it weren't there at all. Additionally, the program itself is contained within a single executable less than 170 KB in size.

Various icon, toolbar graphic and status icon replacements are available, and creating your own is very simple.

µTorrent also has support for localization, and with a language file present, will automatically switch to your system language. If your language isn't available, you can easily add your own, or edit other existing translations to improve them!

The developer puts in a lot of time working on features and making things more user-friendly. Releases only come out when they're ready, with no schedule pressures, so the few bugs that appear are quickly addressed and fixed.
Here are some key features of "µTorrent":

· Multiple simultaneous downloads
· Configurable bandwidth scheduler
· Global and per-torrent speed limiting
· Quick-resumes interrupted transfers
· RSS Downloader
· Trackerless support (Mainline DHT)
· Password-protected boss key
· Global run-command feature on torrent completion/state change
· UDP proxying for SOCKS5
· Proxy privacy features
· Improved set download location/relocate feature (now moves files for you)
· Show add torrent dialog for magnet links
· Add option to pause torrents when user activity is detected on the computer
Requirements:

· Windows 95 users will need to install the Winsock2 Update from Microsoft for µTorrent to work correctly.
What's New in This Release:

· Fix: crash fixes in add torrent dialog

Users are advised to pay attention while installing this ad-supported application:

· Offers to change the homepage for web browsers installed in the system
· Offers to change the default search engine for web browsers installed in the system
· Offers to download or install software or components (µTorrent Browser Bar) that the program does not require to fully function
