Now my registration was up for renewal and whatever I tried, not one new download would work because as soon as I used a nice new version from BitComet bargains, they already had my registration details on file. Some clever chaps tell you to re-register with a different email address, but that doesn't work what so ever!

In the end I was so desperate, I downloaded the latest AVG version and after some fighting......

It is becoming more and more boring to read the same remarks about download speed, listening port and .avi files over and over again!

It is quiet obvious that nobody has understood the idea of a forum: people ask questions - others answer - everyone can read those and compare them with his/her's own problems.

This forum is like a database for looking up related comments.

Use your loaf before you ask about those bloody......

I don't know if I have discovered a new bug in version 1.09. Things were going fine and I haven't changed my settings since 1.09 was released. All of a sudden I don't get LT seeds automatically. I have to manually connect to certain torrent files repeatedly and then - hey presto they come rattling in again.

At the moment I'm downloading the complete Catweazle TV series 6.34 GB (showing my age here) from Demonoid.com, but I have found that I have to hang around every evening......

And what are the results i.e. bugs etc.? It would be nice to here some decent comments about the upgraded version, so other users can feel a bit more confident to upgrade too! (or perhaps think twice about it)

There is no need to rush into a new version without a proper test drive.

I am trying to compile the most complete Deep Purple Family Tree compilation for a mega upload on Demonoid. My major problem is, there is a torrent file for 11 Tommy Bolin CD's available, but it never finishes due to the lack of seeding or re-seeding. It's not the case of the bloody BitComet bug where a download doesn't want to finish. All other downloaders have the same crappy 85-something% and that's it. My plea is for people with complete downloads to start......

When looking into the comments people have left for torrent files on BitComet, there is this link next to the date and time saying "Report" Now then - if I would click on that, what or who would I report to whom? I am asking myself here what good it would be if users leave comments anonymously as "guest" ?

And there is one more nagging thing on the agenda - wouldn't it be a brilliant idea if people could only vote once on the average ranking when leaving......

Do not install it!!!

That so called DRM software is a Trojan Virus and someone is trying to make you install it on your computer.

So - be warned!

Router settings and firewall haven't changed since the upgraded version. All other ports show as unknown.

And my preview option is dead - I tried un-istalling and re-installing various players, but no luck. I find this option quiet important to see if a movie file is OK for download, since sometimes people seem to totally forget......

Since I have upgraded to version 1.09 stable release, some of my uploads keep stopping for no apparent reason. The red arrow goes back to the green orb every now and then.

I keep my box running 24/7 and when I check for progress in the morning, one or two files have stopped again. Not necessarily the same files every time. Nothing has changed in my Global Max Upload Rate or the LT seeding and I am uploading 10 files / downloading two files at the moment - nothing to demanding - so, I am a bit......

When trying to upload an image it turns out to be hieroglyphs instead of a pretty picture! Do the images have to be hosted?

If so - are a lot of people just nicking images they see on the interweb - that would be some sort of image violation, which can be reported on YouTube, but unfortunately not here :(

A simple-to-follow guide please - nice and slow......

Yes everyone's needs and settings are different, but it should be possible to write up something a bit more useful and post it where ever possible
