We have explained this to you several times, you need to have "torrent share" enabled, AND you must be connected to at least one bitcomet peer who also has this option enabled.

If you want support, your going to have to find someone to translate for you.

If the manual hash check doesn't solve the problem, go read the "READ THIS before requesting support", then we can help you further.

There is a well known issue that can cause this, but it only effects users with certain routers, and I don't want to send you off chasing a problem you may not even have.

The rules are there to help you, and ignoring them will only get you a bunch of wild guesses at what the problem may be.

You need to specify what type of video you downloaded to get a proper answer.

ALSO, TYPING IN ALL CAPITOL LETTERS IS CONSIDERED RUDE (SHOUTING)

Another thing you need to consider is that "burning" a disc simply means copying the data onto a cdr or dvdr disc, but this disc will only play on a computer or player designed to play the type of video you downloaded.

If you want to make a DVD video disc to play in any DVD player, then you need to learn Video Encoding, or download movies in DVD format (usually 4.38gb or less)

Most movies on the internet are encoded with Xvid. (usually 700mb or 1400mb). Xvid is designed to play on a DivX Certified DVD player only, or they can be played on your computer too.

You can buy a DivX DVD player pretty cheap at any internet seller such as amazon.com. I'd recommend a Philips brand.

If you want to convert your video, then plan on each disc taking from 1 to 10hours to convert (depending on the content and speed of your computer), and if you use your computer during the process, your movie will most likely be ruined.

After you have made a few DVDs, I think you agree it would have been much smarter to pay $35 to $50 for a DivX dvd player.

The upload speed you report is unusually high, but if you have a FiOS (fiberoptic broadband), then would be common to have such speeds.

I can only give you some very generalized settings because I know nothing about your computer, or the software versions your using, so basically, you want your max upload to be set at about 80% of your tested speed. For yours, that is about 570kB/s.

If your going to use LTseed (long term seed), then you have to limit that as well. I'd suggest limiting LTseed to about 70kB/s and your global max upload to 500kB/s.

This will free up some bandwidth for negotiating with peers, and will help your download speeds improve.

However, keep in mind that your download speed is dependent on the peers you connect to, and their ability to upload. Some internet connections can only upload at 10kB/s, and to make matters even worse, they often run several torrents. This harms everyone in the swarm, including themselves, but the best I can do is educate them one at a time, so this problem isn't going to go away anytime soon lol

If you want to run a torrent to test your setting, I recommend you go to "openoffice.org" and look for their p2p downloads and get one of their torrents. I'd imagine it would download close to 1000kB/s with your connection.

Also, its a great and FREE product, and everyone should use it to help fight the over priced products like Microsoft office.

However, you don't even have to let the torrent finish, if you don't want the program.

If your speed is much less then 400-500kB/s on the openoffice torrent, then you probably have a problem.

Good, glad to hear a good report.

Paralized, I'm going to close this topic, if you need it opened for any reason, send me a message and I'll reopen it.

If I didn't close it, it would continue to get bumped with questions/comments unrelated to you.

normally just installing the version is all you have to do, but if your tasks aren't present, you can simply restart them, and as long as the partial/complete files are in the default download folder, it will rehash them and continue the download/seeding.

Regarding your problems, if you want support, your going to have to read the rules, and provide the required info so we can help you.

hold the mouse over "browse", then click "browse torrents", the find one you want and download it.

That should get you started, just remember your required to seed each a minimum of 24 hours, or to a ratio above 1.00. Seeding longer is advised because it will help your ratio.

Seems you have a very fast connection, which is good. One thing I'm unsure about is if your listening port is open. You stated you have the "green light" on your WAN IP, but also said a portcheck say it was blocked.

I suggest you go to...

http://canyouseeme.org

Enter your bitcomet port number and test the port. If your result says its not open, then you probably haven't correctly setup your router.

If your running 200-300 torrents at the same time, your becoming a huge drain on anyone you connect to, because you can't possibly support so many torrent, so no one you connect to will get any upload from you, and if you do send some data to a peer, they would have long ago given up on receiving it from you, and looked elsewhere.

When running healthy torrents, its far better to do them one at a time, so your actually able to upload, and you might even download them faster, because better peers will trade with you since your uploading.

I don't know why you had trouble logging out of GC, but there really is no need to log out. I recommend you download upto 2GB of torrents from them, and continue to seed those torrent, then at the end of the month, if donations have met the target goal, all torrents are set to free-leech, and you can download as much as you want without effecting your ratio. Then continue to seed those torrents too, and your ratio will get better and better.

Most important you will know if your able to download fast, or if your ISP is slowing you down.

I'm sorry, but I can't understand what your saying. Your going to need to find someone to translate your messages for you, or find a support forum in your language.

Read the topic thats pinned at the top that starts with "READ THIS before requesting support"

Also, do you not know how to download a torrent? Gavin told you to start one, and wait a moment to view our sharing list. You must also have torrentshare enabled in options, and if you want to see torrents shared by others, you have to connect to peers that are sharing torrents, this can't be done if you don't have any tasks running.

In the "READ THIS before requesting support" there is instructions for what is needed with speed related advice, please read it and reply.

Your actual port number doesn't matter, but I usually recommend any random number from 50000-60000, because the higher numbers are less likely to conflict with other programs.

Ok, when the topic refreshed, your screenshots appeared. You have tons of stuff loading that you don't need.

I see you have a logitec webcam, please disable that from startup, I suspect that is the problem, and I'm sure it won't be much of a problem for you if it takes a min or two longer to load when you choose to use it.

Also, I doubt you use "rollercoaster tycoon" every time your computer starts.

These software publishers feel their program is the only reason your using the computer, and having so many things startup only makes your computer take forever to boot up, as well as making it low on resources, and unstable.

Just go down that list and uncheck anything you don't need, like adobe updater, that will run when you start an adobe program, and the msn messenger you can start when you want to use.

When you save the changes, windows will restart in diagnostic mode, and give you the option to undo the changes, or you can save them by selecting not to load msconfig when it starts next.

I have a feeling your system will boot faster, and run more reliably after you have done this.

I'm sorry, but I don't see any screenshots on your post.

Here is a link to using event viewer in windows XP

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/snap_event_viewer.mspx?mfr=true

Please clear any current events, and look at your logs after you experience this problem.

Please disregard event 4226, this is normal when caused by bittorrent downloading.

Also, as I suggested before, disable all programs from startup if you don't need them running EVERY time your computer starts.

I use BitComet 1.3, and when I click "play" in the preview column, it opens in my default media player. You don't need to install mpcstart to preview files, but if you don't have a default player installed, it will suggest you get mpcstar.

Regarding your browser problem, if I click on a link for a torrent site, like the ones I mentioned, it will open that site in my default browser.

Can you please do as I suggested and click on the two torrent sites I mentioned?

If they don't open your default browser, then you have a problem with windows associations, and you need to set the browser of your choice as default.

If your searching for torrents, you need to make sure you selected a torrent site that is currently working, such as the two I mentioned.

8mbits=1mByte

8kbits=1kByte

kb/s=bits

kB/s=Bytes

mb/s=bits

mB/s=Bytes

if your max speed is 8000kb/s, then in Bytes it would be 1000kB/s

the red "x" means that the location your saving the file cannot be accessed by bitcomet. This could be because the drive or partition is full, or your user account, or bitcomet doesn't have privileges to access it, or save files there.

as I mentioned, we cannot offer advice for users who download illegal content. I recommend you follow the advice of a legal expert.
