BitComet is a manager for web, FTP and BitTorrent downloads supporting simultaneous connections, file queue, selected torrent package contents, fast-resume, chatting, disk cache, speed limits, port mapping, proxy, IP filter etc.
The download includes both 32 and 64-bit versions.
Note: Many years ago, BitComet attracted a lot of critics due to its non-compliance with several standards. While still developed in China, most issues have since been resolved.

v1.92
Confirmed just now: https://www.bitcomet.com/en/archive/ shows links for both packages but all you get is an error for v1.50. Alternative download locations pointed to by the homepage don't work either.
v1.49
@billon
The download links for BitComet version 1.50 - "404 Not Found" (both for the archive and the installer).
v1.50
I used BitComet as the first torrent client back in the ol days.
Then uTorrent arrived, and I stuck with it for the low resource usage.

v1.38
Carbonize comment above seems to imply that eMule functionality is built-in BitComet, when in fact it resides in a separated plugin... IMHO, BitComet provides for a comprehensive and rather good downloading solution (encompassing regular, media and torrent downloads).
v1.36
I personally hate programs that try to do everything as they invariably fail to be good at any of it. BitComet is basically trying to become Shareaza. Do people even use the eDonkey network any more?
v1.36
@humpty;
Agreeing totally with the article from that link.
I Use BitComet v1.35 (since a few days v1.36) seeding mostly to at Share Ratio 25-30 and downloading at speed 1,000-1,500 kB/s.
I'm very satisfied of this little gem. ;)
v1.36
IP Filtering has been removed from this program, shouldn't it be removed from the description of this program in the database?
V1.28
@kiwichick888: I changed the website link. Thanks for reporting this
v1.93
