akaidiot Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'm a semi-converted BitComet user.When downloading public torrents from slow(popular) trackers like the piratebay etc. uTorrent is much slower in getting peerlists. It even says tracker offline. And at the same time with the same torrent BitComet connects just fine, as fast as all other trackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
