Downloading the same file from multiple Bit Torrent networks... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Sometimes, you can find the same file being traded on several different Bit Torrent networks (in other words, hosted by different trackers using different .torrent files) and it would be nice to be able to combine the bandwidth of these different networks when downloading these common files. Now, there's nothing about the protocol that will prevent a client from doing this so there really should be a client our there that can support this feature.

So, I know how loyal you guys are to your Bit Torrent programs so here's you chance to convert me! Is there a Bit Torrent client that can share the same files across different Bit Torrent networks? If you can recommend me one, it just might replace my current client, BitComet!

Well, Azureus can now use trackerless torrents. Also Azureus allows one to add multiple trackers per torrent, which are cycled as needed.

I use Azureus. It's abilities always seem to amaze me. It's updated regularly and had financial backing for it's development. Plus, I like the fact it run's on any OS because it's Java based.
