  • New LibTorrent version upgraded to 1.1.0 ()
  • Changed our skin to be a little easier on the eyes.
  • BitLord Player has been updated to support more video and audio formats. You should no longer have trouble playing any files.

Hi all. Our search engine is currently unresponsive. This is because the server provider is having issues. Until they have resolved their problem we remain offline.

Hi everyone!

Today we are releasing a smaller release, but with several important improvements and changes. The main difference for you, the user, will be our new ad blocker inside the browser. We added this because a lot of users are complaining about ads showing up in their tabs. We hope this solves the problem. Please let us know if it does not.

A short list of other changes in this version:

  • Ad Blocker is added to browser (mainly to prevent popups)
  • More subtitle options to avoid mismatch
  • Small changes to UI
  • General bug fixes

(We will be addressing other reported issues in coming updates)

We are working hard to bring what you download in BitLord easily to your TV screen. Our first step is to add AirPlay support in our windows version of BitLord. This way, when downloading a mp4, m4v or mov file you can easily cast it straight to your Apple TV. We will now be working on Chromecast.

– Added support for AirPlay to Apple TV
(we are working on Chromecast)
– More subtitle options to avoid mismatch
– Nicer interface for BitLord Player
– Mute audio by clicking icon in Player
– General bug fixes
(We will be addressing other reported issues in coming updates)

BitLord has gotten a little face lift! Now with an updated logo and icon, we think it looks spiffy.

Other focuses in this release has been bugs. We fixed one issue where resolution changes would make BitLord crash. Hopefully this will fix some of the problems users have had in the previous version.

We are continuing to work on our support for google chromecast. Crossing fingers that this will be ready for the next version.

We are working to upgrade our search engine. It is old and needs to be renewed. Unforrunately it will mean some sporadic behavior. The search engine might be totally unresponsive at times.

So sorry about this, but i hope everyone will be happy once we are back. And better than ever :)

At the moment we are working on getting all the older torrents back online. It is a really big database so we need a bit of time (and server downtime) to get it back up.

Hopefully it will be today (Thursday:)

BitLord 2.4.0-270 – 27.11.2014

Download for Windows: bitlord-2.4-win32-silent-setup-ver270.exe

So what is it we have been working on for the past year? First of all we decided the future is streaming. So, we have been working hard to improve our streaming capability. Now using our built in VLC Player, named BitLord Player, you should be able to start streaming any video or audio file pretty fast. Of course this depends on your internet connection. We will keep improving our streaming capabilities over the next months to make us the best torrent client in this aspect.

Secondly, we knew the old BitLord 2.3 and older versions were pretty slow to open and at times to operate. We have now changed platform from GTK over to Qt. This will help improve performance in all areas.

Thirdly we have given BitLord a new look and hopefully a more user friendly user interface.
Along all of these big changes we have made several improvements to the way the whole program works. The latest libtorrent is now running in the background. The video player has been upgraded with the latest codecs to help play even more files.
We hope everyone will enjoy this latest release. Do let us know if you run into any bugs or if there is something missing you would like us to add.

We have just released a new version BitLord 2.4.5-318

This is a big step for us, we have included support for Chromecasting. This will allow you to send videos to your TV in the easiest way possible. There are some limitations with our implementation.
1. It is not possible to skip in the video during chromecasting. It is possible to pause.
2. It is not possible to detect your Chromecast device if you are using a VPN.

Unfortunately we also had to remove the AirPlay feature because it did not work anymore. We are working on fixing it.

We have also done some smaller bug fixes.

OSX version with all new features is being worked on.

We also updated both libtorrent (our library for handling torrents) and qt (our user interface framework)

A bit delayed blog post regarding the latest BitLord release.

– Player now remembers position in all videos.
– Added ability to “repair” BitLord by resetting all settings during install.
– Updated support for better video streaming (VLC 3.0.3)
– Bug fix when network device is connected to wifi that “looks like chromecast”
– Smaller bug fixes.

In this release we focus solely on crash reporting. We have added a better system to track bug that cause crashes.

If you experience a crash when using this version of BitLord please press the Windows button – (type) %appdata% and there in the BitLord folder you should see another folder called “crashes”. When contacting support, please send us this folder.

Hopefully we can find and fix most of the crashes that occur for some users.

BitLord can now easily connect to Chromecast and skip forward (BitLord 2.4.6-334)

We just released BitLord 2.4.6-334 with BIG improvements to chromecasting. You can now skip in the BitLord Player and it will skip forward on your TV. Also, we fixed a problem where if you were connected through a VPN chromecasting would not work. Now connecting to your chromecast should be much more reliable.

You can cast to your chromecast while downloading. However, it is not possible to skip forward while downloading. You will have to wait until it is 100% downloaded.

A common reported problem has also been that BitLord just shows a black window. We hope this version also fixes this problem. Do let us know if you have any problems after the update.
