Help with BitComet please!

Sangwoo-oppa · Post by **Sangwoo-oppa** » Jun 2nd, '05, 01:02

Hi everyone,

I just downloaded BitComet to download Bit Torrent files but for some odd reason, the uploads are sooo slow. I used to use just a plain Bit Torrent program and the uploads were usually around 40-50 KB/s. But now they're only about 5 KB/s or so. I want to share as much as possible to everyone who might need what I've downloaded. If anyone is using BitComet, can you tell me how I can adjust the upload feature so that I can seed more of my files to others? Please help, thank you so much!

OPTIMIZING BITCOMET'S SPEED!!

First, My download speed is around 30kb/s for 10 downloads and I did not know how max speed BitComet download is. Then I went to forums of BitComet and I found this guide http://www.p2pforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=99434#99434 . I did exactly the guide and now I can say that the download speed extreme fast, download speed is almost 200kb/s for 10 downloads . One more time, I appreciate to a person whose nick is Dragosami.

go to the individual torrent you want to seed and click on properties >> advanced tab>> enable task specific settings and set a high # for minimum upload rate to keep.

That should make it better.

Kai Lien,

WOOHOO thanks soo much for the tip. It worked, it worked. The uploads shot up like a rocket!!!

Hi,

need Help!

I've decided to switch to my laptop to download dramas. i've downloaded Bitcomet and my upload speed is waaaaaaaaaaaaay greater than my download speed ~ 5kb - 15kb the max i saw!

I've been reading on how to configure bittorrent and i am no expert in these things but i know that i have to add bitcomet to allow it to go through my firewall. when i search for the firewall icon in "control panel", i found that the Windows i am using is Pack 1 and i can't updated to Windows Pack 2

can someone help me figure out how to open my ports since the test i took gave me a "fail"

greatly appreciat you advice and help...

why not? just go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com and update to 'service pack 2'.

Post by **Kai Lien** » Jun 21st, '05, 08:52

to lower your ul speed just go to the particular torrent go to properties>>advanced>>limit your ul speed to a certain # you want. Or lower the it globally in the preferences. I'm doing this at the top of my head but try it and see if it helps.

It makes no difference what type of client you are using since they all work the same. If you feel comfortable in one client, then why change it?

Smartscience · Post by **Smartscience** » Jul 8th, '05, 11:17

BitComet certainly uses less CPU than most other cleints, which might translate into faster download speeds if you're downloading on a machine with a lot of other things running (say, a video player?). The other main advantage is that all downloads can go through a single port, which if you're stuck behind a restrictive firewall might allow more simultaneous downloads.

dznutz · Post by **dznutz** » Jul 20th, '05, 01:05

you can set global min and max uplod by going to options, preferences, and task.

normally setting speeds at "default" will allow you to upload/download at max UNLESS your resources are strained. bitcomet gets a set amount of resource to use. those of us with a dialup connection won't ever need to mess around with the preferences. however,faster transfer speeds = more resources utilized. for those of us with faster connections tweek it by going to options - preferences - disk cache. i set mine at 600 since i do some heavy duty transfer. remember, setting it higher will allow it to use more cpu but prevent the client from not seeding after completion and more importantly prevents it from crashing.

go to stats to see your client's disk cache.

Unless your machine is really ancient the torrent program you use shouldn't make any difference on UL/DL speed. I'm using Azureus and my machine certainly isn't state of the art and I have no troubles.

it's because azureus uses java and was designed to take a lot of cpu for maximum performance.

bitcomet, on the other hand, requires tweeking if the user has a phat connection.

Any tutorials i can read to understand? Managed to conquer Clubbox, hope i can get tru this oso..................

Secondly, wher can i find torrent k dramas?? tkz alot peeps....reali appreciate ur help.............

Kenjin_Domini · Post by **Kenjin_Domini** » Jul 23rd, '05, 17:01

ok torrents are one of the easiest things in the world...and bitcomet made them easier
so this should be easy, if you have a question on a specific procedure please ask your question in English.

ok, goto the TORRENT section of this site; you'll see a table full of asian drama, they are all links to specific forums that have the torrent link for that show and episode.
the first colum lists the type of file it is (kdram, jdrama, OST, tv, twdrama, ect)
there's is also a search bar right above the table to the right.
when you find the show and episode you would like to download, click on it in the table and you'll be brought to its forum, above the forum you should see a small table with a link to the torrent file and the number of seeds/peers/completed, wheather or not its subtitled, and what type of file it is (kdrama,jdrama,ect)
there should be a synopsis in the first post ( but not always)
procced to click on the torrent link, a bitcomet window should pop up momentarialy if not instantly, pick a download folder (in settings you can set a default one or you can always use the default on it sets up for you) then at the bottom of the window it will list all the files in the torrent and if its a batch where you dont need all of the files then you can uncheck the ones you don't want it to download
then click [OK] (or whatever the button of affirmation is named)
then bitcomet will take care of the rest your file will begin downloading almost immediatly

that should cover all of the basics
enjoy teh kdrama's (check out bodyguard, its the best)

reydevan · Post by **reydevan** » Jul 23rd, '05, 17:13

tkx alot for replying.............i saw this "Top 10 Torrents requiring seeding" so i can only choose from these 10 each time i log in is it? if i m not wrong, i believe the top 10 will keep changing rite?

wat are seeds, UL, DL and Done by the way?

tkx again............

The "Top 10 Torrents Requiring Seeding" means that many people are waiting for someone to seed the drama for them so that they can completely finish the file. Look at the link I posted below before you can figure out what I mean by "seed".

The best way to find all you kdramas is to use the kdrama tab in the torrent page and combine that with the "search" button to find the specific drama you want.

For all other questions about bittorrent, read this and all other FAQ's just to make your life a lot easier.

Hi how is everyone doing? I'm a new member here and I have a question about Bitcoment. I just installed bitcomet on my computer to download dramas from this site, but I have a problem with it. I already followed the guide from the suggestions that someone suggested, but I doesn't work. The problem is that the speed is tooooooo slow and I already went in preferences go to connection and set both of my Global max upload and download rate to 8640, but the speed is still very slow. The download and upload is only 1KB. And I download from yesterday till today but it is only 9%. can someone please help. I am not really clever as many of you from this forum, so can you please give detail steps. Thanks for you help. I really appreciated it.

severmine · Post by **severmine** » Jul 23rd, '05, 22:07

You can be behind a firewall, if you are disable it or make bt an exception. Another prob
could be the fact that you're on a router, if you are you have to forward some ports. To
forward those ports you'll have to go to the site of your connection and they'll have
tuts. on how to do it.

I keep reading different information. Some states you have to have port forwarding and some states you don't have to have port forwarding w/ Bitcomet. I thought you don't need to because Bitcomet has the listening port function. Can someone here give me the correct answer. Correct me if I'm wrong.

decaturguy · Post by **decaturguy** » Aug 11th, '05, 13:53

just open the litsening port in your router, if you are using winxp and router with UPNP Support you don't have to do anything. btw most routers this days support UPNP. UPDATE your routers firmware

Not to me. I recently switched over to Bitcomet because so many say that it is better than BitTornado. but with BitTornado my dls were much faster. True, its great being able to queue the downlaods and not have all the windows open like with BT. But it isn't worth it. But I'm still trying to stick with it, atleast for a little longer. But if it doesn't improve, I'm going to switch back, or atleast give Azureus a try.

kapaka · Post by **kapaka** » Sep 14th, '05, 04:34

Don't know.
Had this file at 95% downloaded with bittorrent. Decided to try bitcomet because I believe it is bittornado with a queue list and was annoyed with having so many windows open, some to seed and some to download. So I simply followed directions and pointed the .torrent to the folder with the partially downloaded file and, Pouf!! It has gone back to zero. Now I'm connected again and redownloadin' the file. Dammit!

Please kindly advise what is working ICS??

Thanks in advance!!!!

Lowest · Post by **Lowest** » Dec 31st, '05, 14:14

You might want to think of switching from Bitcomet anyway since it seems to be getting banned from trackers

Windows XP ICF = Internet Connection Firewall
Windows XP ICS = Internet Connection Sharing

The firewall seems to be okay, but I think you need to open the ports on your router..

Can someone explain me what happened with my download? I dl a batch of 4 episodes some weeks ago and I was done 100% for each episode. Today I saw that there were some leechers but no seeders so I restarted the torrent again to seed. What happened now is, I am only on 75% in total. 2 episodes are done, one has about 98%, but the last episode went down to 15%. I don't understand this. Even when I open the file now, it only shows the first 7 min (15%) where is the rest? Eaten by bitcomet?!!
I mean I know that this can happen while using batch because of trash MBs etc. But my file went down from 100% to 15%!

gracepham · Post by **gracepham** » May 12th, '06, 22:17

Hello Cococokie and all other friends here,

I've done exactly whatever the instruction posted here said. I've updated the pack 2 and have done with the firewall. I've tried all, once exactly as your given information and many other times with my adjustment but there seemed to be no difference with my bitcomet; still very slow speed at average of 15 to 20 k/s for ten files. I am extremely frustated with this bitcomet thing. I don't know how you could have it run at such amazing speed as at over 100 to 200 k/s?!! Anybody here who has experienced the same thing please help me out with this. Hope to hear from you soon. Many thanks!

Cococokie · Post by **Cococokie** » May 13th, '06, 03:27

You got to see is there any seeders or peers.

Seeders = Uploaders only
Peers = Downloaders and Uploading
Lichers = Download only

If seeders + peers = about 10, you get average download speed of 1-10kbs.
If seeders + peers = about 100, you get average download speed of 40-50kbs.
If seeders + peers = about 1000, you get average download speed of 100-400kbs.
If seeders + peers = about 3000, you get average download speed of 150-600kbs.
If seeders + peers = about 10000, you will want to cap the speed right (Unless you want to crash your system)?

For me, the max I can go is 160kbs cap. It will start to lag my bitcomet when it goes beyond 200kbs, and eats up a lot of process(PF) memory of about 100K-200K+.

You also have to look at the Disk Caching.
If you have 50 download task and your maximum disk cache is 50MB, you wouldnt be enough and will also affect your slow download speed.

Go to bitcomet:

Preference -> Task -> (uncheck) the Add .bc! file extension for incomplete files.
After that, right click on the task, stop it first then Manual Hash Check.

Done, that will remove teh .bc extension.
