ps. Probably not your problem, but if your running any IP filtering programs, such as Peer Guardian, make sure you enable http. This could cause a similar problem, but usually with a "page not found" error, not the error you report.

This sounds like a windows association error. Bitcomet is asking windows to display html data, and your getting an error that windows doesn't know how. Any installed default web browser should do this.

I recommend you open your default web browser and make sure it is set to be default for all web links. If that doesn't help, you might want to uninstall bitcomet, delete the install folder (if using vista/win7, with user account control enabled, then also delete the bitcomet folder in your users virtual store folder), then reinstall.

Running a good registry cleaner before install wouldn't be a bad idea either.

If the problem persists, then reinstall your browser, or reset its settings to default.

Hi, when your making a post such as this, please don't use "bitcomet" as a tag, unless you have something important to say about bitcomet. Doing so places the post in the bitcomet forum.

If you need help with bitcomet, please register and post in our new support forum.

http://cometforums.com

There is no need to explain how to obtain optimal speeds because we have provided you with guides in our support forum. Please read out settings guide, and if you still need help, refer to the "READ THIS before posting" topic and provide the required info.

Firebird, try setting your global max upload to 80% and ltseed to 10-20%, this should work better then my previous instructions.

Our support forum has guides on using bitcomet.

http://cometforums.com

and you can also find the info you seek at our wiki pages at...

http://wiki.bitcomet.com

Torrent sites that track ratios use private torrents. When you download a private torrent, LTseed is disabled, as is dht, and peer exchange.

LTseed is only used to download/upload with other bitcomet peers who have this option enabled. It can increase your download speed, but if its allowed to use too much of your upload, then you can experience slowed download from bt p2p peers, as you state.

It is important with any bittorrent client that you adjust the settings to match your linespeed, and you should also limit how much bandwidth you allow LT seeding to use.

We have guides posted in our support forum.

Safepeer is a 3rd party add-on written under open-source license agreements that Azureus uses. While I do like opensource programs, it does have a big downside in regards to torrent clients, because versions of azureus have been developed by the anti-p2p groups that your trying to avoid, and have been used to poison existing torrents by sending out rubbish data, as well as malicious software/viruses ect.

BitComet's source code is private, so no such add-on can be developed. BitComet used to support IPfilter.dat lists, but this option was removed, however there is a free program that you can use to block connections to "known" IP address that are hostile to p2p users. Its called "peer guardian", and you can get it from phoenix labs (do google search).

I will also add that it is very easy for a person/group to acquire an IP thats not on any block list, so your really not protected as much as you might believe, either by safepeer or peerguardian.

Additionally, the block lists that are offered are often bloated and will block not only bad IPs, but some of the best seeders too. Many files are seeded by university IP addresses, so blocking education IP addresses is foolish. The only lists you should use are the p2p, spyware, adware, and perhaps government (if your country allows the government to monitor your use).

Peer guardian is usually a very lightweight program and doesn't use a lot of resources, unlike azureus, which isn't a bad client, but will often use several times the resources of bitcomet and peer guardian combined.

Additionally, if you would like to see IPfilter support added to bitcomet again, feel free to post it as a request, but I will add that bitcomet does not support illegal filesharing, and will never provide lists of hostile IP addresses, so it will be your responsibility to obtain and install the lists your self, which is why most people use peer guardian, and why bitcomet stopped developing this option.

I will also add that if you use......

Hi,

This sounds like a setting issue, but there are a few reasons why we aren't going to be able to help you yet, so I will list them.

1. This is no longer our support forum, you should register and post your support request at cometforums.com

2. You didn't provide the necessary information for us to diagnose the problem. We are volunteers who donate our time, and we don't have the time to reply with a list of requirements for requesting support on everyones post, so we made a "pinned" topic in this forum, and in our support forum which clearly lists minimum amount of data needed to diagnose your problem.

I can however tell you that you don't "forward your ports" in a firewall, its done in a router, if you use one. If you don't have a green light on your WAN (listening port), then one or more of the following is blocking incoming connection attempts, router, firewall, or security program.

I can also tell you that since your upload is higher then your download, and the fact that you set it to unlimited, that your most likely maxing out your upload bandwidth, which bogs down any connection attempts you make, so a good analogy would be that your placing phone calls, then taking too long to respond when the other party answers, so after waiting for your reply, and getting none, they simply hang up.

If you review our settings guides, they will teach you how to test your line speed, and find an upload limit that allows you to upload as much as your able, while reserving enough bandwidth so you can reply to peers in a timely manner.

Please read the rules before you reply. Additionally, I will add that our support forum's email verification doesn't always work, but I have been manually approving new members, and in the meantime, I will try to help you here.

"I disabled NAT-PMP and the speed dropped immediately."

I suspect this is very similar to BitComets Nat-Traversal, have you tried it?

I could tell you some of this, the rest you have to get from your computer by opening a command prompt and typing

ipconfig /all

Also, you need to have tcp and udp protocols for all features of bitcomet to work, so if your router has no option for both, then you need to make two seporate rules, one for each protocol.

However, rather then having you do a lot of guesswork, I suggest you review the free guides at...

http://portforward.com

They have step by step guides for most routers.

Also, if you want help from us, you really should go to our support forum, and I'll also note that you included NONE of the required info to request support, so please read the rules if you have further questions, or our reply will only be to provide the proper info.

Yes true, most speedtest sites will convert your measurements, but what is very important is that the user understand the difference between kb/s and kB/s. This is one area where the creator of the terms "bits" and "Bytes" really screwed up, because I see the terms representing each other far too often. It would have been much better if they used a different letter for one of them.

since we have no idea what you deleted, we are unable to help you. If your able to explain exactly what you deleted, then it "may" be possible, but your question is beyond "vague" and I have no idea what you deleted.

I suggest you post your question in our support forum, but if you do so without the required info regarding your system, and internet connection, you won't receive anything other then a request to please read the rules and reply when you have the info.

However, I will tell you that finding LTseeds requires that they actually exist, and its very likely none do. Only a bitcomet peer using one of the more recent versions, and having LTseed enabled, and successfully downloaded this torrent, could become a LTseed.

Many torrents have none.

Since the author of this topic refuses, or is unable to define what they mean by "thebox", I'm going to lock this topic so it won't clutter the forum.

The caps are very important actually. rank advancement can be made only by investing time as a member. Without Capping the limit per day, it would open the system up to being hacked and require thousands of moderators to ban people trying to hack their stats.

If you keep spamming this forum with this question I'm going to be deleting your posts. It helps no one to keep asking questions that cannot be answered, and refusing to provide the basic information that is needed to help you is only wasting your time, and ours.

This advice "may" be good if the user has the same, or similar versions of bitcomet, and windows.

For users who can't be bothered to list their versions, then "guesswork" such as this may or maynot help.
