+ | Since LT-Seeds upload even when the task is stopped in the Task List, in this way, LT-Seeding may also help revive a dead torrent (i.e. if the peers who managed to finish their download through LT-Seeding will keep seeding the task long enough to create other BT seeds into the swarm or at least to create multiple aggregate copies). | ||
- | **Enable/Disable Long-Time Seeding** | + | LT-Seeding upload is done through the LT-Seeding protocol which is proprietary to BitComet. LT-Seeding upload is independent of the upload done through the BitTorrent protocol and can be done in parallel with that or alone, depending on the state of the task (seeding or stopped).\\ LT-Seeds are peers which hold 100% of the files for the task __irrespective__ whether the task is in an active state (seeding) or stopped. That is to say, if LT-Seeding is enabled in BitComet //Options// and also enabled for a particular task, then once that task has finished downloading the client will become and remain an LT-Seed for that task until the task is deleted from the Task List (or until LT-Seeding is manually disabled, either individually for that task or globally in BitComet //Options//). This doesn' |
