Sorry about the problems with our search engine today. We have to restore our database from a backup. Hopefully it will not take too long.

We will update this post when we have more information.

The post Search engine problems appeared first on BitLord.

Hi all!

Recently we have focused on stability – making BitLord a quality product with less crashes and fewer problems. In this update we continue with that and upgrades to LibTorrent 1.2 which means improvements in lots of the core features.

Please read more about this update on: LibTorrent release logs

UPDATED: The problem is now fixed with the installer. Sorry about the inconvenience. One of our servers had a temporary meltdown.

Hi everyone. We are currently having a problem with our installer not functioning properly. We are working on fixing it asap. Until then please use the offline installer from: https://www.bitlord.com/previous-releases/

We will keep you posted here when things are fixed.

The post Installer has been updated appeared first on BitLord.

Hi all! Over the past months we have made several improvements to BitLord on Windows and Mac. Chromecasting is working better than ever, streaming videos is supported by more formats and we have updated our langauge support even more. I hope everyone is enjoying the continued development of what we think is the best bittorrent application out there.

We want to go mobile! So, recently we have started turning our focus to development of an Android app. If all goes as planned we should have a working version for our users to try in the near future. Our goal is of course to be the easiest torrent downloading and streaming app for android. So – stay tuned for more news! 🙂

The post Slowly making BitLord the best bittorrent experience – soon for Android devices too appeared first on BitLord.

We have just released a new version with an improved search function. You are now able to search some of the best torrent sites much quicker, so if you cannot find a file on BitLordSearch you can try any of the other sources. We also added a history feature, so BitLord locally remembers your previous searches.

Say Jerry searches for “My friend Tom s01e02” then Jerry can easily just click that previous search and just edit the last number to search for “My friend Tom s01e03”

You are able to clear search history in “Preferences – Browser”

Peace out dudes and dudettes V

The post BitLord for windows now with more search options appeared first on BitLord.

We just released a new version of BitLord where we improved how we fetch subtitles.

This means you will be given more options when clicking the subtitles icon. Instead of just looking for subtitles that match the exact video you are viewing – we now look for all subtitles with similar names. This will give you many more options and hopefully they will match your video. This means you might not get a perfect match all the time, but you will get more options and usually they will be correct as long as the name is similar.

Please try it out and let us know what you think 🙂

BitLord highly recommend that you hide your IP address using a VPN service when downloading or streaming. Preventing anyone from spying on your activity. BitLord suggests using ExpressVPN. They have proven to have the fastest speeds for downloading and uploading. Go to ExpressVPN here. (For Windows, Mac, Android and iOS).

Why use a VPN?

It is important to note that when downloading using bittorrent technology – which is what BitLord uses – your IP address is fully visible to anyone that is also uploading (seeding) or downloading (peers) the same file. So basically, anyone can see what you are downloading.

This is why we at BitLord highly recommend that you hide your IP address using a VPN service. These services have in recent years become very easy to use. Just sign up and download their app for any device – and you are ready to go.

A VPN lets you connect to the rest of the world going through a server in a different location. For example in the ExpressVPN app you can connect to a server in Japan – this makes it seem like you are in Japan for every website you visit or for every download you do with BitLord. Your IP address will be in Japan instead of your own country.

Why use ExpressVPN?

Speed. During tests they have shown to be the fastest when it comes to downloading and uploading speeds. This is very important when using it with BitLord. ExpressVPN is also one of the oldest vpn providers and has been around for 13 years. This means they have a ton of experience.

They have over 3000 servers in their network, allowing you to connect through 94 different countries in the world. So if you want it to look like you are from Spain just connect through a VPN server in Spain and “Hola Mundo!”

Their customer support (24/7) is really great and their applications are user-friendly. In addition they have a 30-day money-back guarantee. This allows you to try out their services and make sure it works the way you want.

CNET and TechRadar has also given ExpressVPN their “Editor’s Choice” badge.

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.
