BitComet 1.03 released!
Yesterday, the currently best BitComet client was released - BitComet 1.03. This version respects all private tracker rules, and fixed major bugs regarding its announce-wire.
I've only experienced one bug - BitComet doesn't block bad peers, as I mentioned in the blog post below this one. However, if you find any bug - doesn't matter if it's a serious kind or not, report it to me (and of course on the official English boards www.tocomet.com ). That way you'll be 100% sure that the bugreport will reach the developers. Either through me or through the BitComet representatives on the BitComet forum.
Now, let's spread the word - BitComet is finally (so it seems) able to be unbanned on all trackers, since it won't conflict with anti-cheat scripts anymore!
I will do a more thorough analysis of the client later on to catch possible bugs.
For now, enjoy the changelog:
