I'm wondering... How many torrent you guys download at one time when using Bitcomet and what is the download speed?

i serious hope that the developer of BitComet come out a stable version which higher than 0.70 as i really want to use their latest function...

From what i remember the new version has a function to set the limit of half open connection and TCP
This problem mostly happen to me as well as the download speed start to pick up as also the number of TCP started to increase. When the number of TCP increase so the respond time for browsing or anything else will be extremely slow... So basically i try close my download when i want to surf or would surf when the torrent has very low number of TCP connected

Same here man~
but its not so often happen from what i know

Use version 0.70 which is certified to be stable by many users
version 0.71 - 0.77 is not stable to use yet and have a lot of bug issue

i feel like version .76 and .77 seem to be functional but you have to play around with the setting a little as they have a manual setting over the maximum number of half open connection and TCP and this causes the slowdown on the overall download speed
As far as i know version .70 are more flexible in the control of TCP and half open connection

Take sometime to research around then the knowledge will benefit u

sure man
i'm using version 0.70

I would rather wait for few days before updating to 0.77 if they really think that version is stable... Maybe the webmaster did some error on the link

here is some feedback from me
i was using version 0.70 and directly install 0.77 and came to the conclusion that this version is stable for me as download rate is constant according to the torrent ratio

The only thing i was frustrated is their scheduler is not working properly whereby i set a specific of time to halt all download then when the time to start the download again it just didn't start

how about 0.77? did the same problem happen?

Guess you don't have to worry about that issue
mostly version 0.71 to 0.76 is full of problem and bug so its best never use that

Here is another problem i encounter with version 0.77.....
I set my max simultaneous download task to 4 and i got about 7 torrent to download and i left download for 8 hour which its more than enough time to complete all 7 torrent but sadly the fifth torrent didn't start at all once a torrent is complete
Really frustrating man...

yes i definately start my 5th torrent
if i didn't then i would not be posting it here and head banging on the wall already

I suspect this problem happen cause i was playing around the Scheduler function earlier
but then then scheduler function has already been disable even before i start my torrent....
Anyone experience the same problem like me?

Totally agree with you it seem like they have made a massive changes on their source code and not every system are able to adapt to this changes and download rate are affected in a negative way

i doubt that... from what i see the update seem to be minor

i tried it and its surprisingly that they ask to restart the system...
i didnt face problem of crashing but ended up facing download speed is extremely slow
Did u do clean a clean installation or upgrade? if upgrade then what version you are using before?

For my case i downgrade back to version 0.70
Version 0.77 and 0.78 really causing too much hassle and the download speed just can't be as good when i use version 0.70...
I seriously getting fed up with Bitcomet and may change to another bittorrent client if they next few release claimed to have so called improvement...

Same here.... if only both can combine without problem...
For me there is not problem running v0.78 but the download speed is seriously horrible...

To those who want to convert back from v0.77 or 0.78 to v0.70, i suggest that backup your torrent and uninstall. Once that is done go to Program Files to delete the entire folder as most of the configuration are still there. Then only u install back v0.70

I feel its much better to do that as v0.70 still might use the configuration on v0.77 or 0.78 and it will affect the download/upload rate

Somehow i do this i manage to get back my stable download rate but before i do the clean installation again the download at v0.70 is as horrible as v0.78

It works for me somehow but not sure for the others

I think its best to focus using on v0.70 as the new release would only bring more problem
It would be nice if they just increase their interface and enhancement function as their core function is consider very good and stable

Good luck testing it man...
I tried but same case happen when i tried v0.77 and v0.78
Some might wonder but i didn't face any crashing when i use v0.78 so im suprise myself
