since ive updated my max upload speed to 10kbps, the upload speed just stays at 10kbps...not less not more....but the download speeds fluctuate a lot...from 5-25kbps....also since i ve just started using it i cant really tell you about downloading the entire albums....i wonder if you can.....but isnt this based on downloading torrents???.....i dont think that there are seperate torrents for the entire albums.....it has to be 1 song at a time...

Nope , i went to the torrent site today and searched for the music band i needed and they had a list of the albumns in it. I used bittorrent to download it.

hey achacko....i went to download.com and searched for bittorrent...there i read a user review saying that bittorrent has too many donation signs....also it bundels a lot of spywares and adwares....it said bittornado, which is based on bittorrent as well, is a much better choice ....what do ya say??

Well according to the tutorial here , it says BITORRENT is gud and its fast. I really cant compare those 2. Hope we get some more users opinions.

reasons 4 using bitcomet over bittorrent -

got a nice GUI

has customizable options



its as fast as the plain bittorent , the speeds depend on the tracker . my suggestion , stick with it



most torrent sites offer whole albums , not single tracks . in bitcomet , u can choose the content within the file being d/l-ed . eg . u r d/l-ing an album of say 20 songs , out of which 5-6 u dont like , wanna **** on them . in bitcomet , u can un-select those particular 1z n they wont b d/l-ed

i know there isnt...the thing is that i had a 128 kbps night unlimited pack....but it wasnt working due to some problem....so my cable operator has given me some backup line direct from the sify server for 2-3 weeks.. :D :D ..i dont need to use the sify dialer to access the internet...its just there as soon as i start the computer....and also its full day unlimited download!!! :D :D

Dude, dont really take seriously what others say.


The Four top clients that I've used and liked are BitComet, torrentopia, BitTornado and ABC.
I guess the best way to find out the best client for you would be to try out each for a week or so and see which one has features/Interface that you like and runs well on your system. Why I say that you should try them out yourself is because for some reason some clients perform better on some systems than others, an example is Azureus, it runs perfectly well on my friend's PC but when I run it on mine it slows down the system. However I've known BitComet to perform better on most sytems and not using too many resources hence system doesn't slack.
Also one client may have feature(s) that may be more handy to you than other clients so its best if you try them all out and decide. For example I personally Like ABC's web interface, meaning you can add/control your torrents over the web which is handy if you're away from the PC...and its easy to setup and use(BitComet also has it but it takes some basic coding to get it working)...

So Take these things in account:
1. System resource
2. Interface u r comfortable with
3. Better speeds.

I find Bit tornado 0.3.10 better :)
