Windows XP SP2 (updated with all updates except IE7 & media player 11)
Intel i865G MB, 1G DDR ram, P4 2.4G (533Mhz FSB)
I installed Bitcomet 0.76 and try to use it for the first time. Nothing shows up. I can only see it in task manager. It takes up 99% to 100% of CPU. HDD light does not flash. After some time, a window pops up and said bitcomet crashes and ask me to write down what happened. I have to reinstall 0.70 to make bitcomet work.
(the same happened in 0.71 to 0.76, 0.70 works fine)
0.76 is not considered a stable version yet. So just do like you did and stick with 0.70 for now. BC is undergoing a massive overhaul at the moment so please be patient.
Just installed the good damned 0.76…a freaky program that doesn’t work at all. Lost 0.70. :< Where could get it back? I’ve lots of downloading file WIP. By the way, why not remove the 0.76? At least a warning clause for pals prior to killing themselves.
Install 0.70 right over 0.76 and your download will be able to contine without a problem. And there is a warning on the main page, www.bitcomet.com. BitComet 0.70 is listed above 0.76 as the official stable release.
0.76 is not considered a stable version yet. So just do like you did and stick with 0.70 for now. BC is undergoing a massive overhaul at the moment so please be patient.
FYI
I just tried Bitcomet 0.77 today. There is no crash but still no GUI shows up, it just run in the background with high CPU uasge. I am still waiting for a new stable release (patiently).
