Gotcha. I only run Deluge anyways. uTorrent if I need to run Windows, but I’m pretty much all Linux these days.

My understanding is that BitComet has at several points in its history implemented features that don’t play well with others. It’s early implementation of DHT ignored private flags, for instance.

BitSpirit (and BitLord) are derivatives of BitComet, so therefore they have the same problems.

It could be that right now BitComet is fine, but of course you never know when the next ban is going to come.

Why are BitSpirit and BitComent banned frequently? What makes them so controversial?

I considered adding BitSpirit, but it tends to get banned a lot from trackers. Perhaps it deserves to be included anyway, if for no other reason than some people don’t give a damn about private trackers.
