BitComet – Free BitTorrent Client for Fast Downloading and Sharing of Large Files

BitComet is a free and powerful download manager that fully supports the BitTorrent, HTTP, and FTP protocols. It’s uniquely designed for both speed and ease of use, featuring advanced acceleration technology that can boost your download speeds by five to ten times or even more. Download your files quickly, efficiently, and reliably with BitComet.

BitComet offers a robust set of advanced features, including simultaneous downloads, customizable download queues, and selective file downloading within torrent packages. It also provides fast resume, integrated chat functionality, disk caching, granular speed limits, port mapping, proxy settings, and IP filtering, among other professional tools.

This powerful download manager also supports 52 different languages. Additionally, to ensure faster and more reliable downloads, mirror servers are automatically located when you begin downloading a file.

With BitComet, you can preview videos within minutes of starting the download. This is a crucial feature that directly addresses the challenge posed by today’s enormous video files, which often reach several Gigabytes. You can now preview a file’s contents without waiting hours for the complete download.

To prevent wasted time, especially when dealing with torrents containing fake or undesirable files, this new function allows you to preview content before fully downloading, empowering you to either continue the download or immediately remove the task and its associated files.
