UNINSTALL,STAT!!

2005-12-10 - BitComet

We are following the example led by other private bittorrent trackers and we will be banning all BitComet clients imminently. Perhaps having so many sites banning it will encourage their developers to do something about it.
he reason why: BitComet, like Azureus, allows the sharing of peers via a DHT system. Azureus implemented SecureTorrents into their client, which we coded into our tracker. BitComet followed and implemented a similar private flag. Unfortunately, the BitComet authors decided not to code what they said ("BitComet will not add DHT Network as Backup Tracker even all the trackers can not be connected later, and will also disable Peer Exchange between peers") and instead ignore this flag after a period of time.

If the BitComet developers create a new version which behaves as it should, we will happily change our stance on this. But at the moment, BitComet is not welcome here.

Great Name For A Band,btw..

We get round this on Dime by using version 2.2 of Azureus - no DHT on that. Should also be OK on Oink - whatever that is!!

It looks like Azureus is okay. They built in proper security which bitcomet promised but did not deliver. I think that dime did not code it into their tracker so you have to use an earlier version of Azureus on that site.
