Softpedia Editor's Review for ABC [ Yet Another Bittorrent Client ]
|
ABC - An improved client for the Bittorrent peer-to-peer file distribution solution
Written by Bogdan Popa on November 4th, 2011
ABC is a BitTorrent client was once one of the most powerful software solutions of its kind, and although it could easily challenge the big guys in the market, it slowly lost ground in front of other, constantly upgraded apps.
The program has everything you need when talking about a BitTorrent client, but it also has a lot of setbacks that could make you choose another solution.
First of all, ABC is an outdated application, so most of the trackers out there don’t support it anymore, which means you have to migrate to another program to use all of these.
Secondly, it lacks some important features that are found in most clients that are on the market these days, and although it comes with so many settings, it still doesn’t have a chance in this fight.
Last but not least, ABC isn’t quite friendly on computer resources, that’s for sure, and during our test it even became unresponsive several times when downloading large files at high speeds.
All in all, the fact that it’s an outdated product says a lot of things about ABC and no matter how much you want to use it, it’s still an app to avoid. Maybe it could work better on older machines, but that’s only a risk you’d have to take.
