The BitComet client has gone to shit.

 ​https://www.cometforums.com/topic/12802501-bitcomet-causing-excessive-ping-times/page/2/

 

"If you are so unhappy using BitComet as your client (you have previously stated that you are using it at the same time as two other clients), I suggest that, at least, you show that you do possess some amount of common courtesy."

Read my initial posts.

 

I was merely and simply stating "hey, I think there's a problem here".

Rhubarb repeatedly denied that the problem even exists, let alone offer anything that resembles help and/or assistance.

 

Rhubarb's response is akin to how companies blame independent media outlets when said independent media outlets find issues with said company's products. (Which Steve from GamersNexus makes references to here:

 

The fact that I cited the old forum posts where Rhubarb even SPECIFICALLY and EXPLICITLY asks for ping time data whilst on here, argues that it's not about ping times is laughable at the very least.

 

Interesting how you make no mention of this fact in your reply.

 

If Rhubard is going to be belligerent, then you can't be surprised when said belligerence is going to be met with belligerence.

 

If Rhubard doesn't know how to help and/or doesn't want to help, then he could've just plainly and pointedly stated that.

 

But that wasn't the case here.

"I have been a resident of BitComet Forums, assuredly, a lot longer than yourself, and I am always amazed at how imperious some users like to sound and, rather than thanking those who donate their free time to attempt to aid others (not being remunerated, by the way), feel it is their God-given right to insult and try to belittle them, just because they do not see eye-to-eye with what is suggested. Thank Goodness that this is not the case of the vast majority of the more than 100,000 worldwide users of this free application!! "

Once again, if you have actually READ my posts and Rhubarb's responses, it LITERALLY reads:

Me: "Hey, I think there's a problem with the program."

Rhubarb: "No, there isn't."

Me: "Yes, there is. And here is the data to prove it."

Rhubarb: "No, there isn't."

Me: "Well, I googled it and this is how I found this forum because other people reported about the same thing."

Rhubarb: "If this was a problem, there'd be all sorts of 'me too' posts."

Me: "But there are 'me too' posts."

Rhubarb: "No, there isn't."

Me: "Yes, there are. Here are the quotations from those threads, and here are the links to those posts."

Rhubarb: "No, there isn't."

(see a pattern here?)

So, why would I thank someone who is in denial about a problem???

That makes no sense.

Would you ever thank an alcoholic that beats their wife and kids "thank you for beating me?" (because you're an alcoholic) That's absolutely ridiculous.

You can literally conduct your internal review of how Rhubarb could've handled this better cuz right now, he's at the same level as the Enermax issue.

"Would that decrease your infinite rage and please your Magnanimous self? "
Why would I need to do that?

Again, the other thread tells you that it's a problem with how the client tries to establish a connection to the DHT network.

It's a very simple question: on startup, what does the client attempt to do as it is trying to establish a connection to the DHT network?

It would appear that no one here has ever bothered to ask this very simple, basic question as it pertains to this issue which might be the responsible party for both, this thread, and the previous thread that was filed a year and 8 months ago.

"Thank them profusely for fixing my car and go on my merry way. There is a Spanish proverb that says that 'to be thankful is a sign of being well-bred' ("Ser agradecido es de ser bien nacido"). "
And that's the difference between your mechanic and Rhubarb.

Rhubarb never made it to trying to profusely fix the client.

That's the difference between your scenario and this one.

The response from their forum is an example of how not to handle a problem when users/clients are reporting a problem.

 

You can read the rest of the thread to see what I'm talking about there.

 

BitComet sucks.

 

Use something else instead.

BWAHAHAHAHA.....


The mods at the BitComet forum has now banned me from said forum because I reported an issue, and they refused to fix it.


LOL...LMAO....


Fuck BitComet. It's LITERAL trash.
