- | ====== Torrent Share ====== | ||
- | |||
- | ===== 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 " | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== What is " | ||
- | |||
- | Whenever you add a BitTorrent task, a copy of the torrent file is stored in your /archive subfolder. That copy remains, even after the task is completed, unless you choose the " | ||
- | |||
- | If you have privacy concerns about your computer " | ||
- | |||
- | ===== How Does it Work? ===== | ||
- | |||
- | When you enable torrent sharing and are connected to one or more other BitComet users who also have " | ||
- | |||
- | The Torrent Share 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 Share? ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Not yet, though they could if they wished to. Torrent Share was added in BitComet version 0.86. Other clients have not implemented Torrent Share, 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 Share 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 Share? ===== | ||
- | |||
- | First you need DHT enabled and working, Torrent Share 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 Share. (Both methods allow you to receive torrents that others have shared, but do not share any of your torrents. You must take the further step of selecting the torrents that you wish to share.) | ||
- | |||
- | **Method 1** | ||
- | |||
- | Select " | ||

- | |||
- | |||
- | **Method 2** | ||
- | |||
- | Select " | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | You must enable torrent-sharing with one of these methods first. If you don't, you can't share any torrents. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | **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", | ||

- | This means you haven' | ||

- | |||
- | ===== 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 " | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== 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 and no. You have to add the torrent to your current task list, then add it to your shares, but the torrent does not have to remain in your task list after you've shared it. To remove it from the task list, delete the new task, but DON'T select " | ||
- | |||
- | ===== 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, | ||
