uTorrent is a very efficient torrent client, but that is all that it does.

When downloading only from bittorrent sources, two identical computer/connections would perform equally with bitcomet or utorrent. BitComet would out perform if the files were also available from ftp/http or ed2k sources, or from LTseeds.

So basically, both are good clients, uTorrent being a good choice for someone wanting only to run torrents using as little resources as possible, and someone wanting a client with much more abilities would do better with BitComet.

I use both, and have been BitComet's forum Administrator for years.

Your problem is not directly related to bitcomet at all. This is either because you have a firewall that is blocking remote users to connect to you, or your part of a LAN (local area network), and its administrator (you), have no idea how to correctly configure it to receive remote connections.

Because of the extremely poor indexing of helpful topics here, the staff from forums(dot)bitcomet(dot)com have created a new forum, and link to it is posted here in a pinned topic. You will probably find the support much better there.

Also, none of you have bothered to read the post explaining what basic information is needed for a support request, so I will reply with the only advice I can give under these circumstances.

READ THE TOPIC that instructs you what info to post, as I have no clue what version your using, what firewall/s, or router (if any).

So basically, no one can possibly help you if you won't take the first step, and help yourself...

Your trick only creates an illusion of faster download, because the settings change makes your cpu busy, so it reads a larger block of time as "one second", so if your downloading 100kB/second, you might display 200, or 300kB/s, but your really looking at the download over the last 2-3 seconds, not 1second.

This is about as meaningful as me typing a large number here, and convincing yourself that it actually means something.

Some may read this as being a "bug", but if so, its more of a bug with the windows operating system then bitcomet, because all torrent clients can be tricked into displaying larger numbers if you confuse it with functions that overload your processes cpu time.

In other words, your not making anything download faster, and may in fact be slowing down your downloads, by overloading your cpu, making bitcomet unresponsive for a short time.

Hi,

This could be that the torrent/s have no seeders, but it is possible there is a problem with v1.04 with vista x86, I know it won't even install on vista x64.

As a test, you can try to complete the torrent with a different client, or different version. I recommend getting version .70 from our archives, but get the .zip version, not the setup.exe. The zip version doesn't need to be installed, just unzip it, run it, set preferences and load your torrent.

*don't run two versions at the same time*

The ed2k network is used by millions of people, and even if you don't download with it, in come cases bitcomet will obtain some or all of your files in a torrent by searching for them on ed2k, without any need for you to find them, just enable searching for mirrors option.

Your request doesn't give me much info, like what, if anything you changed, installed, or whatever before this happened.

However, experienced users download the torrent file to their computer, then open it. Letting your browser open the torrent makes it save in a hidden system folder that you can't even see them with default setting. If you select where to download the torrent, then you will know where they are if you want to delete them. Just imagine your hidden folder filled with records of everything you downloaded, just waiting for someone to find it haha

Once you download the torrent, you can open it with bitcomet.

Or you can find the option in bitcomet to make it the default torrent client, and continue to do as you have been.

Note: If you had read the rules, then I would know what version of bitcomet your using, and could tell you exactly how to do that.

Look for comments saying its bad, and be suspect of newly posted torrents on public torrent dumpsites.

Another method people do is to make the first 10-20 pieces high priority so you can play the beginning to know if its a scam.

The best option is to download videos from trusted release groups if possible.

bitcomet accelerators are all either malware, adware, or completely useless.

You can do much better by simply adjusting your settings to match your connection type and speed.

try mininova(dot)org

I recommend you find a games forum for help with wii games.

We only help you to download files, not to use them.

Your LT seeding needs to be limited, or it can use up all your bandwidth. The best setting would be to make your global max upload, and LT seeding equal 80% of your tested upload speed.

BitComet isn't malware, so I suspect your talking to someone that doesn't even know what bitcomet is.

But to answer your question, uninstalling bitcomet won't effect your downloaded files.

This advice is good, assuming your windows version supports NTFS.

Since you didn't read the rules, we don't know what you have.

The previous file systems used by windows prior to win2000 use FAT or FAT32, which do not allow a single file to be larger then 4gb in size, so any DVD .iso files cannot be saved, but raw dvd files usually can.

Try stopping the torrent, "right click" and select "manual hash check"

I might be able to offer more advice, but since you didn't read the rules for requesting support, I have no idea what version, what windows version, what connection, or router, so I can't really offer more advice without guessing what you have...

All the people of the USA are with you and your country my friend.

Try downloading the torrent in your browser, then open it in BitComet

Version 1.04 won't install if your using Vista x64 versions.

I can see that since your computer has a LAN (local area network), that you do indeed have a router. This router might be a function of your modem, or your ISP might have control of the router your behind, and control your access to the internet.

I recommend you contact the manufacturer of your modem, and ask them if it functions like a router, and if it is possible to open a port in it.

If not, then your only hope to get an open port would be with your ISP. I can tell you from reports of others in your area that the ISPs aren't very friendly to p2p users, so that might not be possible.

If all else fails, I would get a version of BitComet that supports NAT Traversal. This was removed in version 1.03, so I think 1.02 is the last version that supports it. NAT Traversal will allow you to receive some remote connections, but is not as good as an open listening port.

I assume this feature will be reintroduced in a future version, but the release notes for 1.03 say it was removed to make tcp connections more efficient.

Installation failed for me too on Vista x64.

I will try it on Vista x86 and reply here. In the meantime, I suggest reverting back to a previous version.
