| 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】 |
