Many BitTorrent leechers like to use BitComet because of its performance comparing to memory footprint comparing to the most famous Azureus. Azureus may be the best but it is so huge. Machines older than 1 year are not recommended to run Azureus. Furthermore, your physical memory should be at least 512 MB.

However, BitComet is banned by most of private trackers. Private trackers mean to tracker keeping track of upload and download ratio for controlling leechers. Most of them add a key to metadata so that the session could be identified as a known user. However, this mechanism is useless in front of BitComet. BitComet has their own tracker so every instances of BitComet can share pool of peers together in centralized fashion. In addition, DHT network makes this tracker to span on all peers.

BitComet has just released 0.61 which everybody should try! Actually, BitComet has an option to mark each metadata as private so it will not be registered in DHT or announced to the centralized tracker. Anyway, it seems this function had a big bug that fixed in 0.61. So let’s give it a try.
