The "Prominent sites" section is a bit patchy ..?
So 2 are dead but notable
5 are alive, well known and popular
and 2 are not very popular (Alexa Rankings below 1500) and are not notable AnimeSuki only has references to itself and to Anime news sites not to any "Reliable Publication" ? Enpornium has no references at all ....? —Preceding unsigned comment added by JasterMereel ( talk • contribs) 14:08, 27 June 2007
Should we add Opera to these? It is popular as a browser and has a built-in support (ok, at that moment it has really rare options, but for normal users, who doesn't want to install an extra program and have no experiences in the p2p/file-shaaring, it is great) or am i wrong in any point? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.211.230.128 ( talk • contribs) 17:10, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Do we really need LimeWire in the list of of BitTorrent clients? It is really a Gnutella client with BitTorrent support tacked on as an afterthought. Removing it for now. Feel free to flame/re-add Redconverse ( talk) 20:33, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Do we want to keep raided/non-operating sites (OiNK, Demonoid etc.) in the box? Some users are removing these and others adding them again and basically this is going to turn into an edit-war if an official community stance is not developed. I propose that either we keep both active and non active sites in the same part of the box or create an extra row for non-active but still very notable sites. I do not think that these sites should be removed as Raids etc. are currently a large part of the BitTorrent community and removing them (to me) makes absolutely no sense. bobbo ( talk) 22:05, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, but Frostwire is a P2P sharing client and you can access .TORRENT files by finding the URL (mininova, isoHunt, e.t.c). I'm going to add it, but feel free to remove it if I'm wrong. 1bevingtonco ( talk) 15:08, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
I don't know who did it, but now, only BitTorrent Inc. Clients are there, clearly product placement, please revert the other major clients back in the infobox under client for Bittorrent. It was probably done to remove clutter, but seriously, all you have are Bittorent and Bittorrent, kinda promoting one product too much. At least have the Major/notable clients on it. I added some back in from history (didn't see if the links were vandalized though), Add things in or take them out at your will, but please, don't make it Bittorrent (original client) and Bittrorrent (comparison table) again.

Ok, the comparison link may realy confusing some people. and the technology link were added later. so I think I will revert the technology - client link and bring back the old link! mabdul 0=* 12:36, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Does it deserve its own section? I really don't know personally, only that TF has mentioned it (although TF often mentions obscure software partly ad/promoting that isn't ness. actually notable) ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 02:27, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
I'd like to propose the addition of Bitgle, a metasearch engine that is growing very fast. It implements a Google custom search engine, it's very clean and gives great results. Thanks, Merry Xtmas! -- Torrentler ( talk) 11:30, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Why is this a template and not an infobox? -- BozMo talk 21:32, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Just a general question, Idk. ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 05:40, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
This template is getting large now, here's some suggestions to clean it up a little:
I suggest adding Tixati to the client list — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.226.53.32 ( talk) 21:45, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
The BitTorrent portal was recently deleted. I've removed the red link from the template. BlackcurrantTea ( talk) 07:44, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
