Download BitComet 1.20

The BitTorrent client BitComet has support for dht, downloading torrents without a tracker and being able to preview part of a movie if it is not yet fully downloaded. It is also possible to create and seed a torrent yourself. In addition, certain IP addresses can be banned and you can chat with other BitComet users. Version 1.20 of BitComet was released on Thursday and below you can find what has changed in this release:
