BitComet Client

BitComet 1.19 eats 40-50% CPU

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:50:18 +0000

I don't know why, but it's happening....
As I need my CPU for other tasks I can't use BitComet most of time...
Is there a way to correct this?

can't find BitComet once downloaded

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 06:07:45 +0000

Hi there,
I'm trying to download BitComet on my laptop which as Windows Vista on it. It appears to download and even goes to the language installation question, but then after that nothing opens. I went into my start menu and BitComet is not appearing as a new program either. I did successfully download it on my desktop which has Windows XP. Anyone know why it's not working with Vista? I can't imagine you can only download it onto one computer per household?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi i am new to bitcomet and i am very satisfied with download speed the best torrent client. I am using private tracker and i want to make upload seeding for long time, but my question is if i enable LT-Seeding does the program register that traffic and does the tracker also count this because when i make upload/seeding my rating goes up. Also i want to ask when the task finish and LT-Seeding is disabled the program do not show any traffic upload and download but my status window of my connection shows that i am downloading and uploading and when i exit the program that stops.

sorry for my bad english

Downloads stop

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:44:31 +0000

I'm using version 1.19 with Windows 7. When I start a download it may download for 5 minutes, 1 minute, 1 hour or whatever. i have to keep restarting it. WHY? This has been happening since version1.18 with Vista. I use AVG anti virus and the firewall has an exception to allow Bitcomet. What do I need to do to correct this. I have uninstalled and reinatalled the software with no change.

Hi, what does this mean: Seeds:1(Max. possible:1)

a. there is currently only one seeder available for this torrent or maybe,

Very odd BitComet behavoir

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 11:13:06 +0000

I think this is a question for a pro. Someone really smart on this stuff. Maybe a developer or something.

I'm in Afghanistan, for one. I'm on a wireless net that is probably a satellite net connection. Plus there are all kinds of weird communications equipment all around which I'm sure interfere with the signal quite often, but that isn't really what this is about. My point is simply that my internet is unreliable when it comes to speed. There is no set speed. There are many people that use this, and speed varies throughout the day.

Anyways, to my point.

I've been downloading things with BitComet, and I've noticed some odd behavior of the program. I'm not sure if there is a way to fix this. Pretty much, sometimes when I leave my torrents alone and go away from my computer, they stop downloading by themselves. Sort of. It isn't very consistent, but for the most part I have 20-30 torrents open and downloading, and they all end up less than 1 kB/s over time.

Here is the tricky part. I have unlimited number of downloads at a time, and unlimited speed upload/download (I didn't tune this to my net connection because of the variance in speed throughout the day). So... I see all my torrents are less than 1 kB/s, and I right click one of them and select "Properties". I go to the Advanced tab, and click "Share this task in torrent share" and "Enable task specific settings" and keep everything at "Unlimited". Then I click "OK". The torrent that I did this to (within a minute or so) will often skyrocket in speed, and get up to 100-200 kB/s, and gradually work it's way back down to zero over time. WTF? So, I see it at zero a while later. I open Properties, and uncheck those boxes, and hit OK. Then I reopen it, and recheck them. Hit OK. BOOM. Speed again. WTF?

So, in the middle of this email, I just repeated this again. I have one torrent I've been 'speed boosting' for a couple days now and I've downloaded more than I thought was possible on this net connection. It was at 0 kB/s a few seconds ago, I did the steps above, now it's at 53 kB/s and climbing.

I also feel like my messing with the torrent, "giving it attention" so to speak, has an effect. If I see a torrent slowing down and I start randomly clicking peers in my peers tab, it speeds up. It's kinda like I'm causing it to search harder for more peers or something by cracking the whip of my mouse pointer.

This is totally confusing me, I have no idea why my program is behaving like this. I'd like to think that I just have some messed up settings, and I can fix them and get download speeds that are consistently "high" for my net connection, instead of speeds returning back down to zero over time.

Any thoughts?

UDP Port still blocked

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 01:51:15 +0000

Hi,

In the Statistics page of my Bitcomet, it is saying that the TCP listening port 60000 was opened by my router and the UDP Port was blocked by my router still. I am using Bitcomet Version 1.18 stable with windows vista, I have DSL using a router which acts as a network gateway. I have configured both windows firewall and my actual router-Dlink Model DVA3810 to port forwarding as per the guide and still the statistics show that the UDP is being blocked. As per the guide I do have the port mapping off. Why is the one port still blocked?

Thanks

help: bitcomet not responding in windows 7

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 02:28:29 +0000

i have used bitcomet across win xp, vista and just recently windows 7.

after a few hours (don't exactly know as i left it on and went to bed), bitcomet (vers. 1.17, 1.18 and even 1.19) showed 'not responding'. it freezes. and i cannot kill it or even reboot/shut down my PC from the OS. had to use the power button.

i never had this problem on win xp or vista. have debugged for a few days. this does not happen if bitcomet is NOT running.

it is not related to my power options, as i leave hard disks 'never' turn off selection.

OS: Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate
bitcomet versions: 1.17, 1.18, 1.19
modem: Aztech DSL605EU
router: Belkin N1 wireless
settings: PC on bitcomet is in DMZ. Ports forwarded in router to PC. using WIRED ethernet connection to PC
firewall: Kaspersky internet security. ports forwarded in firewall
internet: ADSL (dl: 1M, up: 384k)

appreciate if someone who encountered this can share with me or help me resolve this.

thanks in advance

Windows 7 Troubles

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 22:17:40 +0000

Hello,

I recently installed Windows 7 and downloaded BitComet so I could continue my downloading habits on my new OS. However, I have been having severe issues trying to get my ports open to allow BitComet to download at its full potential.

Currently I am running:

BitComet 1.19
Windows 7 Home Premium
AVG Free Edition 9.0.733

I have ADSL from Embarq / CentryLink

Modem: CentryLink 660 Series
Router: D-Link DIR-615

I have followed every tutorial for port forwarding for my router. I am using no software firewalls except for the default Windows Firewall and I have added the "rules" into it for my ports. My AVG has no built in firewall so there is no issue coming from there.

My problem is, that after everything I have done to ensure the my ports are open and ready to go, I am still getting the "Your listen port is blocked" Yellow Icon from BitComet.

I am using port 58881 as the port for my BitComet.

Any help in this matter as to what is going on would be greatly appreciated. I am at a loss to what the issue is.

Thanks

UPnP not working with BitComet 1.17 in Win7

Thu, 25 Feb 2010 19:14:14 +0000

I'm using BitComet 1.17 with Windows 7 and a Netgear Wireless N 300 router. When I try using BitComet with UPnP it does not work (yellow connection indicator and no port is ever opened in the UPnP settings on the router GUI). I have ensured that UPnP is enabled in BitComet, the service is running in Windows, and that it is enabled in the router GUI as well. No other programs have issues using UPnP, and the indicator goes green in BitComet if I manually forward the port it uses in the router GUI. Is this a known bug in BitComet or is there something else I can do to get UPnP to work with it?

how to limit upload connections

Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:32:31 +0000

Hello there. I am new working with Bitcomet(used Utorrent for 5 years but a bug came up...) and i am having a "problem", since i am an uploader\seeder(its a part of my job). Thing is, i upload and seed torrents on public trackers and i would like to limit the number of connected peers to my torrents. Is this making sense? In other words, what happens is that i have like 20 peers at same time connected in each torrent, and some get to 60% file completion and disconnect. How do i limit to, lets say, 10 peers\torrent so theese peers download the whole file? Is there any option or menu i have to check or uncheck? i went through preferences and didn´t found anything related to this issue.

Im not sure if this makes sense to u, sorry for my strange english...im Portuguese and i try my best to make myself understood...

Thanks in advance.

Bit Comet 1.17 causes my browser to crash

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:08:59 +0000

Dear friends,

I bought a Sony VAIO laptop operated by Windows 7 recently. I have a broadband connection to the internet. I have installed Bit Comet 1.17. Trouble is that whenever I leave my laptop alone to download movies using Bit Comet 1.17, after a while, my browser will crash and I will be unable to access the internet and the downloading will slow down to just a few KBs. This happens to both my IE and Firefox browsers. I will have to shut down and reboot before my browser will reconnect to the internet again and the downloading will return to its normal speed.

This problem does not happen if I do not turn on my Bit Comet. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Bit Comet 1.17 and it does not get rid of the problem. I have called VAIO and they have advised that it is a software issue with Bit Comet. I have also called my ISP and they have said that my Internet connection is fine.

I am at my wits' end and would be very grateful if you can advise me please ...

Many thanks!!

moving downloaded files

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:07:37 +0000

I have torrent downloads in about half a dozen different directories and want to consolidate them into one. Once done, how do I tell bitcomet where the files are located so downloads and seeds can continue?

Also, is it safe to rename a torrent file? ("Bob's Software V4.torrent" is comprehensible, "DF864bbr45KLp02.torrent" is gibberish)

Help!!can't download from animestreaming sites anymore?

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 10:48:28 +0000

I've been using bitcomet to download my favourite anime episodes (for free i might add)from anime streaming sites like animefreak.tv and pimpanime.com for the past six months now, and i encountered no problems whatsoever until last sunday (21/2/10), when i tried to download an anime episode using bitcomet, but it just wasn't able to.Bitcomet users are familiar with the "Download Media Files Using Bitcomet" option when you right click the page with a running video, rite?Well, i right clicked, but the video file just doesn't appear!I was SHOCKED!!!I tried it on both of my anime websites,but i just couldnt pull any videos from either websites (except youtube).I tried cometbird, firefox, and I.E., but none of them worked.....plz, i need a solution here.

Bitcomet doesn't work with a router

Sun, 21 Feb 2010 08:18:31 +0000

1) What version of BitComet are you using?--1.02

2) What type of Internet connection do you have (ADSL, etc.)?--Router connected with cables

3) Do you have a modem? Do you use a router? What make and model are each one of them? Have you forwarded your port?--Yes I have a modem, yes I have a router, the modem is Motorola SB5101 and the router is Edimax BR-6424n. What is forwarding a port?

4) If you have more than one router, be sure to mention the make and model of both devices, how are they connected (i.e. in which connector of both devices is the network cable plugged) and which one of the devices is connected to or is the modem.
Also, if you have more than one computer make sure to mention in this case, to which router is every one of them connected.--I only have one router who is connected to the PC and PS3

5) What version of Windows, Firewall and Antivirus do you use?--XP, Window's firewall, AVG antivirus.

6) If you are asking about a specific torrent or file that you have downloaded, make sure that you include the complete torrent name, as well as the complete names of the files and their respective extensions/formats (e.g.: .rar, .wma, .bin, .cue, etc.).--I had problems with everything

7) For speed-related issues, please run various speed tests at a site such as speedtest.net (make sure that no other computer is using your Internet connection and that all other programs - including BitComet - are closed, during the tests). Include the results, along with the settings that you are presently using, in your post, so that we may review and offer suggestions to improve its performance.--Its not the speed, its the fact that nothing works the download stands on like 5 and upload on 6

downloads

Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:20:41 +0000

This is my first post here, and my apologies is this topic already has been discussed. As you can see by my description i am having an issue with my downlaods stopping at 99.9% I have taken to the time to review the FAQs and followed them step by step. I have dowbloaded only the core file(s), avoiding all the non-essentials. I have done manual hash-checks and they remain at 99.9% I very highly doubt that they are corrupted due to the number of Peers/Seeds downloading/hosting the file(s). I have read the comments, reassuring me that the torrent is valid, working and virus free of course. I also have read the part of the DMZ and i am currently connected to a wireless network provided by our condo complex. I was able to download other files with 100% success, but these more common, or requested files seem to stop at 99.9% The FAQs also refer to older versions of BitComet (previous to 1.0), so if there is anything more upto date that i can be referred to, or if someone could suggest something, it would be greatly appreciated..

Thank you

How to reseed files from a multiple file torrent?

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 22:34:05 +0000

Hello. Im transfering from utorrent and im liking Bitcomet so far. Right now im rebuilding my torrent list and one thing i cant figure out tho is how to reseed files from a multiple file torrent that ive renamed in a different directory. I know how to do it in utorrent but i cant figure it out in Bitcomet. I have 1 torrent that consists of 20 files, and i only want to seed 2 complete, but when i try to add them in Bitcomet it makes me select a folder instead of letting me chose the files. Is it possible? Thanks!

Missing downloads

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 13:56:53 +0000

Well this is a strange one! I recently changed version back to 0.70 but since then I can't find my downloaded files. They're not in the folder as set out in options, they definitly downloaded, they're not in the normal folder I used before changing version, I tried clicking on one and open directory but it says it cannot find it, I tried searching through windows but can't locate them, I tried temp folders etc no joy but the funny thing is I can preview them in full and skip through them so they must be on my hard drive somewhere, any ideas?

Difficulty forwarding listening ports with Zone Alarm

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:24:58 +0000

I use Bit Comet v.1.19. I utilize a DSL connection with a modem but no router. I am currently running Windows XP Pro with service pack 3. My firewall and anti-virus software is provided by Zone Alarm 10. The problem that I am having is not being able to forward my listening port. During my attempt to do so I discovered the following message under the statistics tab on the lower half of the screen. "UPnP NAT port mapping: Failed [Windows version Not Supported!]" I have no idea how to remedy this. Please provide some insight into my dilemma. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration in getting my problem resolved.

BitComet Seeding

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 14:42:20 +0000

Hi,

Just a quick question abou the "seeds/peers". I'm new to all this although i have read the general fundamentals of torrents on here.

If a have a torrent file, do i have to constantly upload the files so as i become a peer and share them with others ?

Once i'm uploading the file for others do i then become a seed ?

If not how do i become a seed so others can get the files easy ?

Just want to share as much as possible because without sharing we don't get anything!

Thanks

hi, i want to ask whether it is possible to toggle between knows ports every once in a while, ive noticed my ports beeing blocked about every 20 minutes or so (im suspecting its my isp since it only happens during mid-day times ard 10 AM-8 PM), after switching to another forwarded port it seems i get the green light for another 20-30 minutes...

another thing ive noticed is my bitcomet suddenly crashes/restarts after downloading to the full extent of my bandwidth for couple of hours, which is realy unfortunate especially at nights, is this a known bug or something?

thanks in advance =]

1) What version of BitComet are you using? 1.18

2) What type of Internet connection do you have (ADSL, etc.)? cable

3) Do you have a modem? Do you use a router? What make and model are each one of them? Have you forwarded your port? modem: motorola sb5100, router: tp-link wr541g, ports are forwarded

4) If you have more than one router, be sure to mention the make and model of both devices, how are they connected (i.e. in which connector of both devices is the network cable plugged) and which one of the devices is connected to or is the modem.
Also, if you have more than one computer make sure to mention in this case, to which router is every one of them connected. irrelevant

5) What version of Windows, Firewall and Antivirus do you use? windows 7 ultimate, avg9 antivirus, am using windows firewall

Can not download

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 19:01:19 +0000

Firstly I apologise if this topic is one you have delt with before but I have been looking for the answer for two hours on various sites and can not find anything. I have read all the start up and how to topics and they do not help.

I have a torrent client - Bitcomet the latest version. My internet connection is wireless with a good connection and speed of 11.0 Mbps. I am unsure how to forward my 'Port'? My secutrity software is McAfee new this year. My OS is windows XP.
So the problem is, I have recenly downloaded Bitcomet (again) this is the only torrent client on my system. This is downloaded without incident, then I come to find a torrent to download and it goes through the usual windows, download then what is being downloaded, where to save etc, I click download and Bitcomet shows the file active in the window and it looks like there is no problem, only there is nothing being down or up loaded?

I have run out of ways to try and sort this out so please help?

Windows 7 ~ Why is Bitcomet now too slow?

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 20:43:44 +0000

Hi,

Since upgrading to Windows 7 I've noticed that even well seeded torrents are downloading only at a small fraction of the speed they used to in XP.

Does anybody have any ideas why this might be? I guess what I'm asking is; is there any known issue with Windows 7 and Bitcomet?

Thanks for your time.

System is Vista Home 32, DSL through Siemens Speedstar. Bitcomet 1.17.12.28 works fine with Vista's default firewall. Installed PCTools firewall 6.0.0.88 and cannot get it to allow Bitcomet to listen. Message is "Blocked: 99.40.90.86".

Have scoured the forums here and at PCTools (little info there), also an evening on the net looking for info. Everything I find is either for older versions of the firewall and/or Bitcomet (menus and options are usually different enough to negate the relevance of the instructions) or too generic or too technical.

I've tweaked settings in PCTools firewall to no avail (obviously haven't found the correct one) and, right now, the only solution I have is, when I want to use Bitcomet, to shut down PCTools firewall and enable the default Vista firewall. Returned all PCTools settings to default, as far as I can tell Bitcomet has full access. Tried setting different ports, 49152-65534 range, in Bitcomet, to no avail.

auto start feature?

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:05:48 +0000

hi
i was just wondering if it is possible to have a auto start setting? i'm in australia with got peak and off peak download limits, i got a program which would restart my pc on a set time but i need the auto start feature which would start my downloads after my pc is restarted, because i already set bitcomet to start when my pc boot up. the problem i see now is it only has a auto resume feature which means the download has to be already running before in order to resume after the restart. or is there a way i can do that with another program?

slow browsing

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:19:50 +0000

Why does the BitComet slows down internet browsing on Windows 7 Ultimate, with NOD32 Antivirus 4?

Open TCP Ports

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 18:39:19 +0000

Hi there,

I happened to be running a scan of my system with CurrPorts when Bitcomet was up and running and I noticed that there are lots of TCP ports assigned to Bitcomet other than the TCP/UDP port that is forwarded on my router. I attached a screenshot. Does anybody know why happens is or if there is any cause for alarm? Thanks for your time.

Kind Regards

Hello all and I apologize in advance if my question is trivial or posseses and obvious answer.

Direct seed?

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 01:10:13 +0000

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to seed directly to a person, and if possible, how?

If I was not specific:

My friend is downloading the same torrent that I have already downloaded, but his IP doesn't appear in the peers list.
So I want to know if I can seed only to him.

Thanks.

Hi!
I use Vista and Peergarden2 and BitComet v1.17 but when downloading Torrents especially movies my connected devices and my wireless modem get disconnected and if I Re-start the PC again it does not shut down automatically and I have to manually do that but after re-start I get the massage that windows encountered a problem and have to choose from a list to run in Safe mode....Normally. What is the cause for this please enlighten me a bit and How to prevent it?

Slow Downloads

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 07:45:14 +0000

I am using a 10mb wireless cable connection and my speed test results are 9.8mb download speed and 0.7mb upload. My OS is Windows 7.
I installed your software yesterday and downloaded an 850mb file very quickly at around 2mb/second but since then my speeds have been decreasing rapidly.
This morning my download speed is only 43kb/s average and upload is around 48kb/s.
I am totally new to all this and would appreciate any help and advise on why this is happening.
I have checked all my setting and they seem OK, nothing has changed since yesterday except the massive decrease in speed.
Thank you.

Installation

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 10:55:59 +0000

Hi I have tried to install Bit Comet but after downloading the programme all that comes up is "choose language" and after that nothing, any body help?

Startup Options

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 19:37:49 +0000

I've set BitComet 1.17 to start when my computer boots.

But what would be nice would be if on starting the program all the unfinished downloads could be activated without manual intervention. And all uploads too of course.

If there is a way of doing that already it's eluded my efforts to find it.

Cheers.

wan light - grey

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 10:56:12 +0000

I have just uploaded and installed the new edition of Bitcomet. On the old version, i had the Wan light green and got very good download speeds. But the new edition will not reset. I've tried turning off the firewall and then resetting Bitcomet. This use to work brilliantly with the old version, but not with the new one, it still will not open and says it is blocked.
Can anyone help. Otherwise if I delete the new version of BC and re-install the old one would I loose all my downloads that are listed at the moment?
Cheers
for any help

A Network Cable Is Unplug

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 04:07:34 +0000

Hi All,

I have a modem cable connected to internet 100% of the time.
I also have a D-Link router, DI-525.

I been using BitComet for some years without any problems at all.
For the last 3 days, whenever I start a download with BitComet, my internet stop working for 10 secondes, I can see a pop-up in the icon tray saying "A Network Cable Is Unplug". After ~10 secondes, the internet start working agains and the download start but only last like 1-2 minutes then once again, I get "A network cable is unplug" and the stop switch to 'stop'. Everything that is using internet stop having access to Internet. If I dont start a torrent download, I don't have this issue of network cable or anything else.

I never had that issue before.

Anyone could have an idea what's going on?

Thanks
Nayas~

Problems with Speed/Connecting to Seeds

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 23:38:23 +0000

Hi there fellow BitComets! Sorry for the long read, just wanted to give you all the details!

This has been an issue for a very long time, and I've finally decided to try and ask the forums about it. Why is it, that when I'm downloading, I can only connect to about 1/4th of the seeds available? Why is my speed, compared to the speed of other peers, so low?

For the sake of testing, today I am using no router or firewall. I normally run my connection through a D-Link DIR-628, and utilizing ESET Smart Security as my firewall. But, today I've got my computer connected through ethernet directly to my modem. I have also disabled my ESET firewall and antivirus for today. I have Comcast High-Speed internet, and test results from SpeedTest.net conducted today report that I have 21.18 Mbps download & 2.94 Mbps upload. (Results link) Additionally, I ran the Glasnost ISP Throttling test. The results report that Comcast is not shaping or throttling my connection. (ISP test results)

I'm running Windows 7 (with windows firewall disabled), and I'm using Bitcomet 1.17 (stable release).

I have attached a screenshot of my Bitcomet, showing the issue I've described. As you can see, for the Couples.Retreat bluray torrent, my Seeds/Peers[all] reports that I am connected to only 13 out of 48 seeds! And if you look at the top left of the Summary tab, it shows my download speed (293 kb/s) as the green triangle, and other peers' speed (approx. 2300 kb/s) as the blue triangle.

Is this normal? Or is there really an issue?

I have also attached a screenshot of my Advanced settings for Bitcomet, showing that my Max connections and Max connections per task are all set at 0 (unlimited). Though, perhaps I am overlooking some other setting that is preventing me from downloading at the fullest capabilities.

Thank you for your time and comments.

il problema che ho è che la cometa po '1,17 mi conviene molto lento e la voce in basso è il segno di una luce gialla che dice che: la porta di ascolto è inceppata. lui / lei ancore per scaricare, ma probabilmente per accelerare reduced.to verificare la configurazione del router nel firewall e NAT sezioni. Ho già provato a pianificare il firewall, ecc .. ma non ho risolto nulla .. Spero che mi aiuta te e che hai capito il mio sforzo di scrivere in un forum in lingua inglese .. Grazie a tutti in anticipo spero che possa risolvere il mio problema

Hi, I write you from Italy because I have a problem that I don't succeed in resolving with the comet of bit, there am no Italian forum for Comet po 'and I didn't know to who to face in way I use the automatic translator of Google to read and to write, hopes to answer in very simple way.
the problem that I have is that the comet po '1,17 suit me very slow and the voice in low it is the sign of a yellow light that says that: the door of listening is clogged. him / her anchors to unload, but to accelerate reduced.to to verify the configuration of the router in the firewall and NAT probably sections. I have already tried to plan the firewall, etc.. but I have not resolved anything.. I Hope that it helps me you and that you have understood my effort to write in a forum in language English.. Thanks to all in advance I hope that can resolve my problem

(*Loose Translation, for anyone else reading this thread* - cassie)

Hello. I'm writing from Italy because I have a problem with BitComet that I cannot resolve. There are few Italian forums for BitComet and I don't know who to turn to... so I'm using Google's automatic translator for reading and writing. I hope you are able to answer me, in a very simple manner.

The problem that I have is that BitComet 1.17 downloads very slow for me and the yellow light says that the listen port is blocked. My download [continues] but, probably, its speed will be reduced. It tells me to check the firewall and NAT configuration in the router. I've already tried forwarding the port, etc.... but have not resolved anything..

I hope that you are able to help me and that you understand my effort to write in a forum, in English.

Thank you all, in advance. I hope that you'll be able to solve my problem.

Port Forwarding Doesn't Help Speeds

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 23:55:46 +0000

My download speed is 70-90 kilobytes/s, and I want to increase this. I've been able to port-forward BitComet to port 65000. BitComet has the green light, port checkers say it's open. That's all good. But even though it's forwarded, my speeds don't seem to increase (except for my uploading speeds). Here are my specifications:

Internet:
Verizon Online Basic at 768 kilobits/s download and 160 kilobit/s upload (although the modem page tells me my download speed's at 864 kilobits/s)
Westell 6100
Linksys WRT54G (connected through Ethernet)
BitComet 1.17

I've been on Google a lot recently and apparently I'm connecting through a Double Nat. I have tried switching my Westell to Bridge mode, but everytime I do, my Internet is killed and I have to switch back to router mode for my Internet to work again. I've collected that a Double Nat does not help me torrent.

I like to download games and things like that, so I'm downloading a 3 gig game, and it's going at 70-90 kilobytes/s, which is roughly what I should be getting. I'm also uploading at 5-10 kilobytes/s, which is also what I should be getting. But I don't want to be going that slowly! I want to go faster. If I stay at 70-90 kilobytes/s, it's going to need at least 10 hours to finish. The bottom line is, my download speeds are no different when BitComet is port-forwarded, and I want them to get faster.

all torrents disappeared

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 16:37:09 +0000

I have been using bitcomet for a long time without any problems but today all my torrents have disappeared, both the completed ones and the downloading ones. Bitcomet tips keeps popping up to tell me that my disk driver© is full but it cant be, theres nothing downloading. I know my finished torrents are in here somewhere but where? I also have a small graph on my screen that is telling me my download speed, I never had this before. I use firefox and I have a wireless modem. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

Where are the peers? (plus memory consumption problems)

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 13:26:03 +0000

Hello
I am using Bitcomet 1.15
I a have a 8 Mbit ADSL internet connection connecting wirelles to my router....
Windows XP SP2, AVG Antivirus 8.0, Spybot Resident Shield, Windows Firewall (Bitcomet exception added)

As you can see in the picture attached, in the Seed/Peer column all of my torrents have 0/0 status even those that are active and downloading such as Michael Jackson Videography that says at download 5kb/s. Also I cannot understand why at the same column everything is [0/***]. This is supposed to be the theoritical peers and the last torrent (Law and order.uk) has had 157 peers and 255 seeders. What is wrong???
My sister who leaves in a different place at the same time and for the same torrent has [3/123]

Another problem is that Bitcomet eats a vast amount of memmory that is gradually getting larger. When I oppen it it starts with 41 MBs and after 15 minutes takes 190 MBs and raising by the second (the numbers were taken by Windows Task Manager) is that normal???

score display

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 17:15:23 +0000

Could someone tell me why the score /ranking does not count anymore ?

That is more than two weeks we have a lot of problems connecting to blog.bitcomet/bclist and no update of score and ranking

- the server is dead ?

- this option has been dropped ?

Even if that is not very important, I am curious

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 12:09:49 +0000

Latent Lag

Sat, 16 Jan 2010 20:39:03 +0000

I am downloading a torrent that has 1 seed. The speed of this torrent is about that of a slug on a hot dry rock but in spite of that I cannot catch up to the other users. I am consistently .2% behind everyone else. Sometimes there an hour or so before anything comes my way, but during that hour I should be able to get that .2% shouldn't I? When it comes my way it rolls in at about 170k

The file is 2 gigs coming in 4 meg blocks.... yellow status light (normal for here as no-one knows the router password) This has never happened on any other file... it is just odd enough to want to understand it.

BC ver 1.14
Win XP sp3
NetGear modem Model is unknown as I have no access to it. Wireless connection from there through a linksys speedboost card
DSL line in
No firewall or AV

Oh and I can't see the seed... my parts are coming drom someone that can see it

Thanks

The Infamous Yellow Light

Sat, 16 Jan 2010 17:51:34 +0000

Hi, I've been using BC for a few months now and I have never been able to get rid
of the infamous yellow light on the Listen Port.

Here are the particulars of my setup:

OS: Vista Home Premuium (fully updated)
Router: None
IPS: AT&T
Connection Type: HSPA 3G wireless modem
BC Version: 1.17

I have tried the WikiFaq and the Create Firewall Guide.
I have manually configured the UPNP Port as well as allowed
all the BC related programs in the firewall.

I still get the yellow light.

Could this be because my modem gets a dynamically assigned IP?
Does anyone know how can I get rid of the yellow light?

Thanx

hi, I've just joined bitcomet and need some help.

I signed IN before I signed UP. Resulting in me being unable to sign in as my user name was lazy daisy with my assigned password.

Is there anybody that can help me with this problem.

Complete loss of all torrents

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 15:01:20 +0000

My copy of bit comet had been working well for many months but just prior to my vacation the program would lockup and I would be forced to close the program and re load from the disk. This went on for a couple of weeks and no loss of data was detected. I went away for a couple of weeks and on my return I booted up and to my surprise my bit comet page was blank. All my torrents at various stages of download had been deleted. I used windows explorer to search for the downloads on the C drive and they were all still there as they had been prior to the holidays. My problem is I am not sure what to do to get this information and the torrents from the archive back to the bitcomet screen. I have limited confidence so I would appreciate a set by step solution for a bitcomet dummy.

Many thanks

Wierd Problem For Last 1 Month

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:23:25 +0000

I'm posting according to format given here- http://www.cometforums.com/forum-5/announcement-1-read-this-before-posting/

1) What version of BitComet are you using?
BitComet 1.16

2) What type of Internet connection do you have (ADSL, etc.)?
Broadband 256 KB/s (So download speed is around 35-40 KB/s)

3) Do you have a modem? Do you use a router? What make and model are each one of them? Have you forwarded your port?
Seimens, yes port forwarded correctly.

4) If you have more than one router, be sure to mention the make and model of both devices, how are they connected (i.e. in which connector of both devices is the network cable plugged) and which one of the devices is connected to or is the modem.
Also, if you have more than one computer make sure to mention in this case, to which router is every one of them connected.
No just 1.

5) What version of Windows, Firewall and Antivirus do you use?
Windows Firewall off. Just Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 Firewall along with Anti-virus.

6) If you are asking about a specific torrent or file that you have downloaded, make sure that you include the complete torrent name, as well as the complete names of the files and their respective extensions/formats (e.g.: .rar, .wma, .bin, .cue, etc.).
Not applicable.

7) For speed-related issues, please run various speed tests at a site such as speedtest.net (make sure that no other computer is using your Internet connection and that all other programs - including BitComet - are closed, during the tests). Include the results, along with the settings that you are presently using, in your post, so that we may review and offer suggestions to improve its performance.
Not speed related problems.

Problem:
This has been happening for last 1 month. I have been using BitComet for 1 year without problem.
But what happens is BitComet downloads more data than total file size and it takes unusually long time to complete download.
For eg. Yesterday I kept 100 songs in 1 torrent file to download, size- 750 MB. It usually takes around 5-6hrs to complete such data. But when I got up I saw that "down size" was showing 500 MB and "size left "around 450 MB. So total around 950 MB. Unusual when total size is just 750 MB.
I stopped, did hash check and restarted Bitcomet and router.
Then again same problem.
When it was around 95 MB left. I stopped and restarted but instead of 95 MB at the end it showed 120 MB downloaded.
What is BitComet downloading??

What I think?? I think BitComet downloads too many pieces at once and then deletes some pieces (because seeders disappear) and re-downloads them. Just what I think. Its a big problem because my download speed is too less.

Please help!!

Windows 7 x64 + Bitcomet : Favourites trackers problems

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 14:07:20 +0000

Hi dear,

I just install W7 x64 & Bitcomet 1.17 on a new computer. I've used Bitcomet since beta releases but now i've a problem configuring Bitcomet to different users on W7 profiles.

I edited the fav_es.xml adding my favourites torrent tracker's sites but couriously, some user can't load it.

The bitcomet installation folder is the same for all of them (c:\Program files(x86)\Bitcomet\...) and the "fav" folder is in it. I just edited the fav_es.xml file and, (in theory) all bitcomet executed in all profiles can load it when the users selects the correct language (spanish in my case so as a mother tongue). But some users load it correctly and others can't do it. In this case just appears the default fav file (root user for example).

�Anybody know what is happening or what can i do?

Thanks a lot

A few weeks ago my ISP (TPG) sent me emails telling me to 'cease illegal activites' and that they would cut off my internet (the emails were about downloading GTA 4 and Batman: Arkham Asylum). This has never happened before and my Dad is not happy.

I need to know how to stop this. Is there anyway I can stop them from monitoring me or will they just stop caring eventually? Do they monitior specific torrents or if they catch you once they'll keep an eye on you? If I forced my listen port to yellow could it prevent this?

Thanks.

EDIT: It probably started when my friend made me download MW2. I didn't even want that stupid game and I think TPG sent me an email about that first.

Scheduler Issue in BitComet v 1.17

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 04:08:13 +0000

I've searched in the forums and found similar posts made by members; but still none of them exactly helped me out. I'm using BitComet for the past 2 years; and I'm more than satisfied by it's performance. Yet, I need assistance in a couple of things, if possible:

1. From the V1.15 (or so), the scheduler in BitComet fails to auto-stop at the scheduled time. I've set it to turn all traffic to null at 8 A.M. everyday; but the latter versions just jeep on doing their work, just like in the peak times. If I stop a certain task (inside the time slot where it should be idle, say 8.10 A.M. in my case) and try to resume; it works fine, showing the gray triangle; as 'queued, awaiting proper time schedule'. But if I am to do so manually; what's the point of a scheduler!

I've checked with some other torrent applications like Bit & U-torrent; where the application is perfectly synchronized with the system clock.

BitComet being lightning fast; it can do quite a damage on my time & amount limited connection So, kindly help me out here.

2. My system & ISP configurations are given below; is there any possible way(s) to hike my traffic rates (other than port forwarding and the tweaks provided in forums, because I've tried them all) ?

Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.0 & AMD Sempron 2.2
Windows XP sp3 & sp2
2 GB DDR1(533 MHz) & 1 GB DDR1(400 MHz)

2Mbps Broadband connection (Dynamic IP)
Nokia-Siemens C-2110 ADSL (UPnP enabled)

I used to get around 250kBps (Download) about a year ago in BitComet; which now dropped to 200-210kBps. The rates are high with other downloads like an accelerator assisted download (and hence it rules out the ISP bandwidth capping, I guess). I'm not behind any proxy or firewall & I'm using Eset NOD v 3.0.64.

3. Apart from the moving of the servers; BitComet takes quite a long time to log in (BC passport; current score: 11607) & to have a lock in the port status. It often get stuck in the 'blocked' status, and I've to recheck multiple times to get a green.

4. I've come across many third-party tools that boast to speed-up the BitComet, but is there any truth in their claim ?

P.S. : Of all the tweaked torrent tools I've used; BitComet is the clear winner. I don't know how you guys do it; but BC is faster about 20-25kBps than Vuze, Bit/U Torrent & Bit Spirit; in my connection. Hats off to you for that.

Bitcomet Downloads Very Slow 24/7 - Pl. Help!!

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 22:04:03 +0000

Hi There:

P4 3.06GHz
Modem 2Wire 2701HG-G (on Standalone PC)
WinXPPro SP3; 1GB RAM
Windows Firewall Disabled
Bitcomet 1.07 (Tried 1.16 and then went back to 1.07)
Increased TCP/IP Half Open Connections To 50 (LvlLord)
Provider Sympatico (IP 174.91.24.244) (Unlimited downloads connection)
Broadband Connection Bandwidth Reading 2.05 Mbps
Bell Internet Security Services find no active viruses/spyware
MBAM (Updated) also came up negative for any malware
Downloads @ 262.28 KB
Static IP Address Setup
Passed SheildsUp TruStealth Analysis
Using Ports Between 45134 - 65534 (No matter which I try it comes back Port Unknown)

I did check throughout your Forum but found nothing much of relevance, excepting one new posting with inadequate info to begin with. It sounded very little like my problem thus the new thread. However, this is my first posting, and I have tried to comply with all your rules, including reading them a few times over just to be sure. Despite this I am not sure if you have all the info you need above, but I have tried to put in everything I could think of.

My situation is that I have successfully used Bitcomet from v. 65 and have had my share of problems but worked them out. My download speeds would go through ups and downs, as is the case depending on the number of seeds etc. But the download speeds were decent in my opinion. For the past 8 days or so no matter what I have tried my speed varies but averages about 10kB/sec and this is only with a single download. Uploads tend to stay at about 9 but there have been times when the upload speed was higher than the download speed (even though I have not changed the Bitcomet setup from when the downloads were coming in at reasonable speeds). My direct downloads for freeware etc. continue to download at a pretty decent speed i.e. 250-285 kB/sec even presently.

After reviewing my Bitcomet settings and comparing them to what is recommended I couldn't see anything which could be the culprit. And I have run the tests (Max Planck, ShieldsUP, and one other which I forget) to check if it is my ISP which is throttling me. And they all come back negative. Despite this even if the ISP is throttling me, I can't believe that as a business they will do so 24/7. Where I live ISPs have legally won the right for traffic shaping. And I can live with peak hour throttling but not this 24/7, I think it would be bad business sense. But thats just me!!

The one thing which changed things temporarily was when I reviewed my half-open connections and successfully increased them to 50. The speed jumped in about 30 seconds to 135-155 kB/sec. I was somewhat thrilled. When I checked two hours later, it was back to the same old pokey speed.

I do not know too much about P2P, just manageable I would say. Because of this I have also attached a graphic of my Bitcomet Advanced Setup. Even though I don't know too much I had not been disappointed so far. Now it is a different story. My suspicion is there is some malware issue, though I could very well be wrong. But I would be most grateful if you can provide any help. And yes, I have considered going for a VPN, but I can't do that right now.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Best

Recovering .bc! files

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 23:27:04 +0000

I have some unfinished downloads (.bc! files) on one computer but had lost BitComet on a system re-format (saving the unfinished files). Now that I have re-installed BC, how can I continue these downloads...? Can I add them somehow to the current download window?

Problems attempting to make a torrent

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:16:10 +0000

Hello all,

I'm a new member here and havent really got the hang of this torrent thing yet, this query may have been asked before on this site but I wouldnt recognise the solution if its already been posted so if you would please bear with me.

Techy bits: Im currently using

BitComet V1.09
ADSL / modem
Win XP (SP3)/ Zonealarm 8.0.065 / Avast 4.8 Home

Ok, heres what I did, this was my first attempt to try and upload a torrent. I had some .mp3 files of a BBC Radio4 detective drama called McLevy that I was going to attempt to upload to a site so a friend in America could hear them

I opened the bitcomet v1.09 program and then went to
file > make torrent

when the torrent maker pop up appeared I selected
general tab > Directory (multifiles)

and then browsed through to the audio folder where I kept the .mp3 files I wanted to convert to a torrent for uploading, which I then selected.
D:\My Music\ITunes\Spoken Word\BBC\McLevy\McLevy - Series 5

On the pop up the following boxes were ticked by default
Add DHT, Align File, Enable search, Calculate ED2k

in the output box the generated file would be
D:\My Music\ITunes\Spoken Word\BBC\McLevy\McLevy - Series 5.torrent

I then clicked on make torrent, which it then did and the torrent appeared on the bitcomet page

however the original folder containing the .MP3 files disappeared and in my bitcomet download folder one appeared containing the same audio files only with the file extension .bc!

on the bitcomet programme it displayed 0 % progress and seed/peer/all as 0/0/1

As I thought you had to make your torrent before you could send it to the website I was a bit suprised when this happened so I stopped and went back to see where i had gone wrong only to find that the audio folder containing my original files was no longer present and had been replaced by this file
McLevy - Series 5.torrent

Using windows search I looked for the original source files but could only find the .bc! files in the bitcomet download folder, the .torrent file in the original audio folder and another copy of the same torrent file and a .xml file in
C:\Program files\Bitcomet\torrents

so my questions are....

where are my original source files?
how can i get them back?
if i can, could somebody help me do this properly?

please contact me either via this reply or via [deleted by Mod]hotmail.com asap as I dont want to lose these files if i can help it

heres hoping

Please help me!
