Download and Install BitComet
From BitComet Wiki
Contents |
Download BitComet
- Download the version you prefer, from the BitComet Archive or the latest version from the Download Page.
(Most versions have an installer (Setup) package, and a "green" (.ZIP) package that does not require installation. The installer package is the best choice for most people. Older versions are listed, but you should select the latest version unless you have a particular reason to install an old version.)
- Right-click on the version and package type you wish to download, and choose "Save target as..."
Install BitComet
Navigate to the location where you saved the setup file, and double-click it to start the installation.
Select Language
Select your language and click "OK" to continue. (This selects the language for the installer, not for BitComet itself.)
Setup Wizard
The Setup Wizard will guide you through the rest of the installation. Click "Next".
License Agreement
Read through the License Agreement. You must click "I agree" to continue. If you do not agree, click "Cancel" to exit, and BitComet will not be installed on your computer.
Privacy Policy
The Privacy Policy describes what information we will collect and what we do with it. You must click "I agree" to continue. Otherwise, click "Cancel" to exit, and BitComet will not be installed on your computer.
Install the free Google Toolbar (Optional)
This option installs the the free Google Toolbar in Microsoft Internet Explorer, if you have not previously installed it. (Uncheck the box if you do not wish to install the toolbar.)
Click "Next" to continue.
Choose Components
Select the menu items and shortcuts that you wish to install (see snapshot). Click on the + next to "Browser Integration" to view and control BitComet options to be added to your web browser. The default selections are correct for most people.
Click "Next", to continue.
Installation Location
Select the destination folder where you wish to install BitComet. (The default pathname will be correct for most people).
Click "Install" to begin the installation.
Installing
The installation will take a few minutes. Please wait for it to complete.
Setup Complete
The Google Toolbar has now been installed on your computer. (This step will be skipped, if you did not choose to install the toolbar.)
Click "Next" to continue.
Other setup
BitComet recommends that you install CometBird, and set 'atcomet' as the homepage. (This is optional.)
Finish Installation
When you see this screen, BitComet has been successfully installed. You have the option to
- run BitComet now,
- automatically start BitComet when Windows starts (you can change this later if you wish), and
- view the ReadMe file which contains any late-breaking news about this version.
Click "Finish" to exit the Setup Wizard.
"Green", or Non-installed version BitComet (Not recommended)
(You must already have an archive extraction program installed and know how to use it.)
The archive contains two .exe files: BitComet_Win9x.exe and BitComet.exe.
- BitComet_Win9x.exe is for use with Win95, Win98 or WinMe.
- Use BitComet.exe under Win2K, WinXP, Vista or later versions.
To avoid confusion, you should probably delete the one you don't use.
Upgrade (or Downgrade): Install another version over an existing version
Simply download and install the desired version right over your current version, as listed above.
Tip: The previous (old) Task List and options/preferences remain unaffected by this process.
(If you wish to perform a "clean" install, removing all tasks and options, then uninstall the old version using "Add/Remove Programs", and delete the installation directory (default is C:\Program Files\BitComet) with all of its contents. Then install the new version as above.)
