Long-Time Seeding

From BitComet Wiki

Long-Time Seeding, a unique feature of BitComet, on one hand it helps users to get data from peers who have 100% of the torrent content and on the other hand, long-time seeding may greatly speed up your download by looking for data from mirror server. But still according to BitTorrent protocol, you need to upload while you ask for downloading. For some out-dated BT task, it's common that there is no seed, and without that, the task can not be finished. It's Long-Time Seeding that saves you from waiting for seeds forever, by asking those peers which have 100% of the torrent file(s) to upload through Long-Time Seeding.
