What is Torrent Share?
A torrent plays a very important role in the BitTorrent download. With a torrent file, BitTorrent clients are able to get clients list from trackers or DHT networks. The “peer to peer” download can be continued according to this clients list. Generally, most users get their torrents using HTTP/FTP from some torrent index sites. But Torrent Share which only available in BitComet make you free to exchange torrents with other BitComet users by getting torrents from others or sharing torrents with them. (Available in version 0.86 or above)
The “Torrent Share” Content:
All the torrents sharing with “Torrent Share” are from users. BitComet has nothing to do with the content.
How to enable torrent share:
1. Select “Options”->”Preferences”->”Task”->”BT Task”, make “Enable torrent share” selected and adjust the number for “max torrents to display in torrent share list”
2. Select “channel” –“Torrent Share”, right click “My sharing” or “Shared by others”, select “Enable torrent share”.
My sharing:
- How to share my torrents with others?
Option 1: open “Task Properties”, make “add this task to my shared torrent list” selected.
Option 2: Select “Channel”->”Torrent Share”->”My sharing”, make the checkbox in “share” column before the torrent name selected.
Shared by others:
- There is no or few torrent shared by others, why?
During the P2P download process, every time connected a BitComet client of “Torrent share” supported version, you BitComet client will automatically get the shared torrents list from that client. Then you will see those torrents in your “shared by others” list. As the old versions (version 0.86 or before) do not support torrent share function, your client can not get shared torrents if connected an old version client. We suggest you update your BitComet client to the latest version to make more torrents shared with others.
You could filter torrents by categories in shared torrents list or you could search the list by inputting keywords in text area after “Filter”.
- How to add torrents shared by others into my download tasks?
Right click the torrent and click “Download” to download the torrent or click “Add to my sharing” to add this torrent to your sharing list. Ps: the download task won’t be added to your client if you only click “add to my sharing”.
