Hi I’ve been using Bitcomet for a long time and love it - have never had any problems.
Then I inadvertently downloaded 0.75 not realizing it was a beta, looking forward to removing the dreaded XP SP2 limit of 10 half open connections.
Noticed a few issues pretty quickly:
-
Lowering the max downloads property while downloading causes cpu to max out and hang bitcomet (windows is fine). This happens every time and I do this regularly when I come back to the pc and want to use the internet for something else as well.
-
I can’t force-start torrents anymore. I usually have a lot of torrents sitting in the queue that I’ll download whenever I get around to it, so if I want to download something right now I used to just press the Start button - it’s greyed out now.
-
Related to (2) - the start order is no longer sequential. It used to be that when a download finished, the next torrent at the top would start.. now it seems to randomly skip torrents that are waiting above.
-
When you start up bitcomet, everything is in Stop state. It used to remember the state when you last closed it.
Number 2 and 3 are pretty critical to me in the way I use the client - really hope they’ll go back to the way they were.
On the positive side, I really appreciate the half open connections limit removal and the File move option.
Thanks for a great torrent client!
