They are pretty much the same. The download speed is mostly given by your Internet connection and the quality of the server that hosts the file, so the application that you use doesn't really matter that much. However, as far as stability and overall usability go, BitTorent is a lot better.
In case you're looking for an alternative to BitTorrent, I recommend trying out ForstWire. The tool has some very interesting additional features that you might like.
I was updating the program and when it finished downloading, the message came for a "Runtime" error. How do you fix it? It was working perfectly before updating.

Sometimes newer versions of apps require a certain Service Pack to be installed as well. I recommend installing the latest updates for your operating system through the Windows Update section and then re-download the software to initiate its connection.
I know I've encountered the same error with Skype and Windows 7. The app didn't work until I upgraded to Windows 7 Service Pack 1.
I have been using BitLord for more than an year and I live in Hamburg, Germany. A few weeks ago I got a letter from a Law office in Munich who opened a case against me, saying that I should pay a fee of $1.600,00 Euro because it is illegal to download torrents in Germany.
I would like to ask you if you are aware of this law. Is it true? What is the position of BitLord in this case?

BitLord is a torrent client like any others. Its usage is free and you can do whatever you want with it, but you are the only one responsible for the content you're downloading. As far as I know, Germany is very restrictive when it comes to 3rd party content that you download. You should contact your ISP and ask information about them. Torrents are illegal if you download the copyrighted content.
If you read the BitLord ToS, you will see that you can't hold them responsible for the content you're downloading.
Has BitLord always been using the lphant engine even when it was 1.1, a BitComet clone? I've found the v2.0 beta (from what I understand this is the first release with eDonkey support) to be a very stable program, for a beta, but I'd like to help configure it. The lack of support seems almost intentional, to encourage users to opt for the Pro version. The forum is always unavailable. Does anybody have a better support forum than bitlord.com/forum or lphant.com/forum?

BitLord is a torrent and Usenet client. It acts as a GUI to the torrent protocol. It allows you to do everything when it comes to torrent downloading. You can download as long as you want because there is no limitation to how much downloading you can do with it. This client is something like Azureus or Utorrent. It's just another client that allows P2P downloading through torrents. Simply add another torrent, and begin the download. No extra configuration is necessary.
Is BitLord it faster than BitTorrent?
