Softpedia Editor's Review for BitComet Turbo Accelerator
|
An effective plug-in for BitComet P2P that will speedup your downloads
Written by Bogdan Popa on November 21st, 2011
BitComet has millions of fans all over the world, mostly thanks to the insanely high download speed that it could reach when using the popular BitTorrent protocol. But what if there’s the option to make downloads even faster?
The name of this secret weapon is BitComet Turbo Accelerator, an application that was designed to work exclusively with BitComet and thus let its users download files even faster.
How’s that possible? you may ask. Well, developers claim this tool will help by looking for more download sources, which obviously means more seeders and thus greater speed.
The interface is so simple that even your kid could use it, but there is nothing too special about. Just a big “Accelerate” button that lets the app do its magic, as well as some statistics regarding the connection status, sent and received bytes.
But the most important question is that regarding its efficiency. Unfortunately, BitComet Turbo Accelerator didn’t seem to have any effect on the download speed during our test, although we’ve tried it several times, with different trackers and various files.
Plus, we’ve received reports from users saying that in some cases it could even slow down the download, but we’d be more inclined to believe that it was all due to the Internet connection.
All in all, it’s a good thing that BitComet Turbo Accelerator is available for free, although it’s better to keep an eye on those annoying advertisements and the unnecessary software the installer attempts to deploy. But if greater speed is what you want for Christmas this year, you could give BitComet Turbo Accelerator a try.
