| LT-Seeding clients use a server (the equivalent of a tracker, in the BitTorrent protocol) for querying and finding peers (LT-Seeds) for the tasks which have LT-Seeding enabled. This is done by using a unique LT-hash which is being computed for every file of the task. | LT-Seeding clients use a server (the equivalent of a tracker, in the BitTorrent protocol) for querying and finding peers (LT-Seeds) for the tasks which have LT-Seeding enabled.

| If that option is enabled (see below), then at the creation of any //.torrent// file, BitComet will calculate and embed in the //.torrent// file a 20 byte file-hash (the LT-Seeding hash), for each file of the task. | If the specific option is enabled (see below) in the torrent maker, then at the creation of any //.torrent// file, BitComet will calculate and embed in the //.torrent// file a 20 byte file-hash (the LT-Seeding hash), for each file of the task. |
| |
| For //.torrent// files which don't contain the LT-hash(es) (i.e. created with other torrent makers), the first BitComet client in the swarm which finishes the download, will calculate the LT-hash(es) and upload them to the server, making them available to the other BitComet peers, so that they may search for LT-Seeds for that task at any time later.【Only suitable for BitComet Client】 | For //.torrent// files which don't contain the LT-hash(es) (i.e. created with other torrent makers), the first BitComet client in the swarm which finishes the download, will calculate the LT-hash(es) and upload them to the server, making them available to the other BitComet peers, so that they may search for LT-Seeds for that task at any time later.【Only suitable for BitComet Client】 |

| BitComet by default enables search for Long-Term seeds in a BitTorrent task when it's being added to the Task List. If the task is using a //.torrent// file made with BitComet, it will use the LTS hashes inside the //.torrent// file to search for LT-Seeds.\\ If the //.torrent// file was created with another torrent maker it will query the server if there are any LTS hashes already uploaded for that torrent and then if present, it will use them to search for LT-Seeds.\\ | BitComet by default enables search for Long-Term seeds in a BitTorrent task when it's being added to the Task List.

| However you can disable LT-Seeding (both searching for LT-Seeds while downloading and uploading as an LT-Seed while seeding) on a per-task basis, by using the option above. | However you can disable LT-Seeding (both searching for LT-Seeds while downloading and uploading as an LT-Seed once the task is completed) on a per-task basis, by using the option above. |

| LT-Seeding is being inactivated automatically (and cannot be enabled) for any task added to the Task List, if the torrent is a private one (i.e. it bears the //[[inside_bitcomet#privateflag|private]]// key in the info dictionary of the //.torrent// file). | <html><span style=color:darkred;font-weight:bold>Note:</span></html> LT-Seeding is being inactivated automatically (and cannot be enabled) for any task added to the Task List if the torrent is a private one (i.e. it bears the //[[inside_bitcomet#privateflag|private]]// key in the info dictionary of the //.torrent// file). |

| You can watch real-time info about the speed at which your client is uploading by LT-Seeding, in the [[bitcomet_detailed_info_pane#statistics|Statistics panel]] of the Detailed Info Pane.\\ Bear in mind that when your client is uploading by LT-Seeding, that upload speed, gets added to the BitTorrent upload speed which is displayed in the Task View window. That total will be displayed in the titlebar of BitComet, as well as in the floating window or on the Statistics tab. | You can watch real-time info about the speed at which your client is uploading by LT-Seeding, in the [[bitcomet_detailed_info_pane#statistics|Statistics panel]] of the Detailed Info Pane.\\ Bear in mind that when your client is uploading by LT-Seeding, that upload speed, gets added to the BitTorrent upload speed which is displayed in the Task View window.
