- | ===== Torrent Exchange ===== | ||
- | This page is addressing the **new, updated** version of torrent sharing UI as of version 1.17; if you are using v.1.16 or an older version, please refer to [[Torrent Share and Torrent Archive]]. | ||
- | |||
- | Note for previous users of BitComet: Torrent Exchange is the approximate equivalent | ||
- | in functionality and user interface of the former Torrent Share which it now totally | ||
- | | ||
- | which is now placed directly under the root, Channels category. It has had also added | ||
- | a new category named Torrent Share which contains now only the shared torrents. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== What is " | ||
- | |||
- | A .torrent file is required for any BitTorrent client to download the files associated with that specific torrent. While these files are normally obtained from torrent index sites, BitComet users have the option to enable " | ||
- | |||
- | ==== How Does it Work? ==== | ||
- | |||
- | When you enable Torrent Exchange and are connected to one or more other BitComet users who also have " | ||
- | |||
- | The Torrent Exchange list only shows the torrent' | ||
- | |||
- | (It is possible, but very cumbersome, to save that torrent to a disk file. A copy will exist in the " | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Do other BitTorrent clients support Torrent Exchange? ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Not yet, though they could if they wished to. Torrent Exchange was added in BitComet version 0.86 (under the name of Torrent Share). Other clients have not implemented Torrent Exchange, so torrents can't be shared with other clients, with versions of BitComet before 0.86, or with clients which have it disabled. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Where does the Torrent Exchange content come from? ==== | ||
- | |||
- | All of the torrents shared with " | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Will other people know which torrents I have shared? ==== | ||
- | |||
- | No. When you share torrents, the only information exchanged with other clients will be the torrent task's name, its size and its computed InfoHash. No other information is sent. In particular, your client' | ||
- | |||
- | If more than one person shares the same torrent (as identified by its InfoHash), then any actual download of that .torrent file might come from any of the sharers, determined by the operations of the DHT Network. One client may be the first to share the torrent, but not necessarily be the source of any of the downloads of the .torrent files. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== How Do I Enable Torrent Exchange? ==== | ||
- | |||
- | First you need DHT enabled and working, Torrent Exchange requires DHT, and if your client shows it is disabled, or you aren't connected to any nodes, DHT isn't working. | ||
- | |||
- | No DHT, no Torrent Share. | ||
- | |||
- | There are two ways to enable Torrent Exchange. (Both methods allow you to receive torrents that others have shared, but do not implicitly share any of your torrents. You must take the further step of selecting the torrents that you wish to share.) | ||
- | |||
- | === Method 1: === | ||
- | Select //Options --> Task --> BitTorrent (BT task in older versions)//, | ||
- | |||
- | === Method 2: === | ||
- | Select //Channels –-> Torrent Exchange//, right click //Torrent Exchange//, tick //Enable Torrent Exchange// | ||
- | |||
- | You must enable Torrent Exchange with one of these methods first. If you don't, you can' | ||
- | share any torrents with others, either can not view other user's share. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== OK, I turned it on. Now how do I actually share (or un-share) one of my torrents? ==== | ||
- | |||
- | === Method 1: === | ||
- | Right click a task and open //Task Properties//, | ||
- | |||
- | === Method 2: === | ||
- | If your torrents are automatically added to Torrent History | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Where can I find others' | ||
- | |||
- | They' | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Why are there so few (or no) torrents in the torrent collection list? ==== | ||
- | |||
- | This means you haven' | ||
- | |||
- | (Um, you DID turn torrent-sharing on, didn't you? If you didn' | ||
- | |||
- | ==== How do I filter or search shared torrents? ==== | ||
- | |||
- | You can filter shared torrents in the list by category, among the categories we offer, to the extent that the torrents have been categorized by their sharers. You can also search the list by keyword in text area following " | ||
- | |||
- | ==== I found a shared torrent that I want, so how do I download it? ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Choose the torrent you want from the Torrent Collections list, then double-click on its name, or Right-click on it and select "Add to tasklist" | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Can I block a sharer' | ||
- | |||
- | No. Remember, BitComet does not send client-identification information in Torrent Share, so there is no way to tell who a shared torrent came from. You CAN hide and reveal individual torrents on your own collections list, which is convenient but not at all the same thing as blocking someone. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Can I share torrents that are not in my current task list? ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Yes. You will have to tick the checkbox in Options-> | ||
- | |||
- | Or for a task you have downloaded, when you remove it from the task list, delete the task, but DON'T select "Also remove from Torrent History" | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Can a Torrent Share download fail? What can I do about that? ==== | ||
- | |||
- | BitComet will search via the DHT Network, for a source having your chosen torrent. If the client which shared this torrent has disconnected, | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Torrent Exchange user interface ===== | ||
- | |||
- | This is a presentation of the Torrent Exchange user interface in BitComet. | ||
- | |||
- | Note for previous users of BitComet: Torrent Exchange is the approximate equivalent in | ||
- | | ||
- | It just has had Torrent Archive moved out of it and renamed to Torrent History, which is | ||
- | now placed directly under the root, Channels category. It has had also added a new category | ||
- | named Torrent Share which contains now only the shared torrents. | ||
