BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol designed by Bram Cohen, and a family of of BitTorrent compatible clients (software) support this p2p protocol. BitComet is a C++ BitTorrent client running on Windows, compatibale with BitTorrent along with many enhancement.

BitTorrent is designed to facilitate file transfers among multiple peers across unreliable networks. While downloading, clients will simultaneously upload already downloaded data to other BitTorrent clients interested in that data.

The HTTP/FTP way (Problem: more customers require more bandwidth):

The BitTorrent Solution: customers help distribute content

That's the reason why bittorrent sometimes works faster than ordinary http / ftp. In order to use this technology, users need to use a BitTorrent client, and a tracker is needed to help users know about each other.

Why we need to “Align File to Piece Boundary”?

A torrent is a file that contains the basic information about a file or set of files. BitTorrent Clients exchange these files according to this information. The clients do not transfer files by files but by pieces which have the same size. All the files in this torrent are splitted into pieces, the size of which has been appointed by the torrent file. If there is more than one file to transfer, there might be some pieces contain head of file A and meantime tail of file B. As a result, although all the content in file A downloaded, the status of the file might keep permanent “99.9% finished” because some content from file B in this piece has not been downloaded. To resolve this problem, we have to make every piece only contain content from the same file. In BitComet, we implement this function by “Align File to Piece Boundary”   

 How......

Find a Torrent File and Download

Task Propreties

BitComet will open automatically once finishing downloading torrent. Then a dialogue as following picture will popup with: Normal, Advanced and Task Link. You can change tab with clicking or it will default Normal.

The function of Intelligent Disk Cache is once an important reason why people choose BitComet. It is designed for fast downloaders. When uploads or download rate exceeds 500kB/s or even more than 1MB/s, a carefully designed disk cache mechanism in BitComet will greatly improved the hard-disk performance by decrease the read and write frequency of your hard disk. So that the life time of hard disk can be longer. 

How to set the cache size?

Select “Option”->”Preferences”->”Advanced”->”Disk Cache”

The latest BitComet has an innovative function to rename file intelligently.

Preview while downloading: preview of MP3, rmvb, wmv, and so on, is available during downloading process.

With Bitcomet （ version 0.60 or above） You could preview the videos only minutes after downloading begun instead of waiting dozens of hours to finish the download. At present, most of the video files on internet have huge sizes, especially .divx files, even bigger than 1G. And there are some torrents containing fake contents which may waste you lots of time to download. With this new function, you could check the content by preview files and decide whether to continue download or remove the download tasks and files.

How to preview a video file?

Right click a torrent and select “Play”, and then make the checkbox before your wanted file checked, click on “Preview” to play.
