- right on. this bit torrent client is most definately rightous, although I currently use Azureus since most private trackers support it; It's definately worth a crack at.

- even though its great people write and update software programs all the time, is there really ANYTHING more than what Azureus or uTorrent already provide?

- (+) : Preview / Watch while downloading.
Many chinese bt sites recommand this BC's feature as a means of online stream vedio.
(along with its bctp:// links, they dont even need to host any .torrent file on their sites.)
(so they are totally off the legal hook.)
(no wonder BC is the dominant client in china with 90%+ 'market share.'
never try but, theoretically I can start previewing The Daily Show reasonably smooth at its 50% and then start downloading The Colbert Report. When TDS download finished and the previewing continues, the bandwidth can be allocated to TCR. When the TDS previewing finished, TCR can be previewed quite smoothly at 85%.
(-) : I.E. integration.
