To avoid this problem and still use win (...) you can : -Use a virtual machine inside win (like Vmware) to simulate a unix system. -Use a distro like DSL (Damn Small Linux). This distro create a virtual pc inside a win session (download the dsl-embedded from the homepage) so you can use unix software even in win environment. One more thing :

So... BitComet seem to be the only decent client left, but is closed-source, mean no one really know what is running on the machine. Want to test a client ? Try Ktorrent, far better the standard client (it's only my tough, off course) ;) You know, Martin… uTorrent & Azureus are both death meat.

It lies to peers, hammers seeders for no reason, and it ignores many other rules. Bitcomet has many, many problems “under the hood”.
