TORRENTbitch

Who uses TorrentBitch? Every time I open up the program it shuts down and opens the website. Why?

Honestly, with a software title name like that, I wouldn't have taken them seriously
Though, biases aside, I am a bit dubious on its overall ligitimacy? Doing a seach concerning it in Google, I get quite a few pages of crap data. For example, TB versus utorrent, etc, seems like no one has done any reviews yet? Just gets me pages of useless info.

Avoid. Use uTorrent.

I've been using it with no problem for a few months, up to yesterday. The problem started this morning.

Avoid. Use uTorrent.

I have switched back to uTorrent.

Hmm, I see they rebranded to TorrentB to be more "friendly". This is according to their twitter page. So they have a torrentb.com and a torrentbitch.com with the new branding and program changes. Torrentbitch had a last post in March last year... which is quite a while ago. Interesting is that their last post was in March concerning torrretb.com, but since then they haven't created a new twitter account or made any statements... and have very few followers on the old version.

Anyway, just my 2 cents. I have a feeling they may have stopped supporting the client and vanished?

Maybe this is the start of the US crackdown on piracy.

Sent an email to them and received this reply:

Thank you for your email. Please read below for an important message!

Please NOTE that users of the current version 1.1.2.0 are experiencing an issue where launching TorrentB will immediately quit and return the user to the home page.

We are working on a new version of the application that will fix this issue, and this should be available in just a few days. You should re-download the new version of torrentb (in a few days) and install OVER the current version to keep settings and files intact. Thanks for your patience and we apologize for the trouble.
