Talk:BitLord

message: :The discussion below took place before this article was re-written.
The full text of this article was taken directly from the homepage of the BitLord program (http://www.bitlord.com/) so it might be considered biased.
Not to sound particularly pedantic, but shouldn't there be some sort of information on the potential problems Bitlord has had with filesharing in general? I seem to recall many different mods being made for it that effectively turned it into a leeching program, with very, very limited upload. As far as I know these have been incorporated into the basic program from the getgo. Any more information on this?
:I downloaded BitLord while searching for a better client a few days ago.  It doesn't seem to have any such capabilities included in the default install. JulesH 09:10, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I think it's based on an older version of BitComet.  I installed BitComet 0.59.C after trying it, and that version of BitComet has a feature (the favourites bar) that is not found in BitLord 1.1. JulesH 09:10, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Good idea. Seems some disgruntled user decided bitcomet too deserved a dispute tag, but instead wrote the text out, and put it in the talk page instead of article. :D --x1987x 02:44, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dispute? 

message: Does anyone have evidence for this?  It seems a little strange, as I see clients in my peer list at the moment reported as BitLord 1.01 and have never seen one as BitComet 1.01.  Perhaps an early release neglected to change the client id and this has now been rectified? JulesH 19:01, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, It's been several days and nobody has justified the claim.  I've removed it, because I'm pretty sure it's innacurate.  Anyone with evidence, e.g. link to a web page with screen shots, please post it here and reinstate the sentence I just deleted. JulesH 19:23, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

::The bitlord.exe, when opened with an icon editor contains the BitSpirit .torrent file icon, revealing traces of BitSpirit
I opened this application in a resource hacker, i could see no BitSpirit icon present. --195.137.35.18 01:16, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Apparently false claim removed 

message: For whatever reason, this line is at the end of the criticisms section: 
"BitComet is also being criticized for its "selfish behavior" and is blocked by some BitTorrent Trackers." 
This is a very random comment, as the section was about criticisms of BitLord, not BitComet. However, I'm not sure if the paragraph was trying to say that since BitComet is flawed, and BitLord is based on it, then BitLord is flawed. I also figured that the writer could have meant to put BitLord instead of BitComet, or interjected an entirely random comment about BitComet that should not be in this article, because it has no direct impact on BitLord. If there is some impact, it should be clearly apparent.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.84.175.16 (talk) 02:56, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticisms Section 

message: I recently decided that this might be an okay torrent client to use on my wife's new computer, in no small part due to the content of this article. I strongly suggest this article be reviewed by a security professional, then edit-locked, as I feel installing this software was easily the largest mistake I've made in the past 3 months. I even created this (non-anonymous) account just to post this here. John Reasoner (talk) 17:07, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spyware / Adware bundled 

message: Needs a reference, or I may suggest it be removed entirely as there is no proof of conduit's involvement.
