I'm using bitcomet right now and since yesterday its acting really slow and choppy. It still downloads stuff but when I open up the window, it never goes back to the start menu bar so I have to do ctrl+alt+delete to shut it off all the time. Why is this happening? Anyone? Oh and does the upload amount affect the dl amount(speed wise. like would I get a lower dlspeed if I set upload speed limit from 100kb to 50kb?)?

Two things: Higher upload (bittorrent give/receive system) yields higher download. Higher upload (bottlenecking bandwidth) yields slower download. You have to find the equilibrium between the two, this depends upon your own personal rates.
As for your BitComet issue: uninstall, back up your torrents, delete the Program Files and the Application Data folders. Reinstall.

Does bit comet have any silly spyware or anything like that? I've heard alot about this prog but I've always been iffy when it comes to P2P
Most popular bittorrent clients have no spyware. But there are exceptions...

Bitcomet is great, because of DHT support(get into private trackers!)
but some trackers are banning it for the same reason

here's an idea: sign up for the private trackers.
GASP, AWE
utorrent does DHT as well, btw.

Banning clients is stupid, because it'll just lead to client spoofing.

That's not adware you dumbass. >>10
It appears that private trackers do not agree with you, I have a spoofed client and I have been detected on none of the ones that normally block it.

Dito, I have been spoofing since the earlier bitching about bitcomet and have yet to be banned for anything aside from letting my ratio go too low.

Banning for low ratios is stupid too. Bittorrent was designed with leechers in mind; If you can get the whole file with a low ratio, it just means that the network is healthy enough as it is, with no real need for more seeds.
It just proves that most of the people running trackers know shit all about BT.

lol wtf, does bitcomet pause randomly and spam you with popups or what? The only client I've ever used is shadows but it doesn't have many features though.
