Connection

  1. The default setup is right for most users. ADSL users are recommended to limit the upload rate to 75% of the maximum (tested) upload rate.
  2. These settings will be void if you enable Scheduler in the Scheduler tab.
  3. The checkbox "Alternate Max Upload Rate when Not Downloading" is convenient, allowing you to modify your upload rate when there are no downloading tasks running. Please note that this is valid only when there are no downloading tasks, otherwise, the maximum upload rate is dictated by the "Global Max Upload Rate".
Note: In some situations, checking this option may cause some problems such as disconnection or crash. So, it is not recommended to leave this option enabled unless it proved that it works for your system without any reliability issues.

Task Tags

The tagging system existent in BitComet allows you to assign any number of different tags to a task present in the Task List. Any existent tag type will have a corespondent category under the Tags root category, in the Favorites bar. This provides a very easy way to group and manage tasks sharing similar features, irrespective of the place where they reside on the storage media in your computer.

The default tag types (1) in BitComet are: Video, Software, Music and Picture. However users have the possibility to create any number of other supplementary tags (2) to accommodate their needs.

Also a specific folder (3) can be linked to a tag. In this case, assigning such a tag to a task will bring up a dialog asking the user if s/he wishes to move the task files, to the specified folder, in case the task has already been started previously. If the tag is added upon task creation, then the specific folder of the tag will be automatically set as the download folder for that task.

The tags menu can be reached via the Tags menu entry of the context menu of any task and also by clicking on the button on the task properties General page or on the Summary tab. This menu enables selection/deselection of an already existent tag as well as the creation of new tags.

Tags can be managed through this Options page (below), where you can create and delete tags and also assign folders to any of the existent tags. This Options page can be accessed either via the Tools --> Options menu or by right-clicking the Tags category on the Favorites bar and choosing: Manage Tags...

Task

Set 1 as the "Maximum number of concurrent downloading tasks", and start all unfinished tasks. Then all the other tasks except the first one are placed in queue waiting for download. When the first download is finished, the next one will begin automatically and so does the third task when the second one finished. In this way, all tasks will be auto-downloaded one after one.

eMule (ED Task)

For Bitcomet v.1.09 and older versions, if you install the eMule plugin, please make sure that the eMule plugin has the same version with Bitcomet. Or else you will be given a warning if the two have different versions.

For v.1.10 and newer verions, BitComet is compatible with eMule plugin v.1.06 and above. But it's recommended to use the latest eMule version.

Note: The listen port can not be the same with the one at "Connection" menu (the one used by BitComet). If you need to set Port mapping on Router, please set the listen port of BitComet and eMule plugin independently.

TCP/IP Limit

Windows versions beginning with XP SP2 have a Half-Open TCP Connections limit that allows 10 connection attempts to be opened at the same time. This won't cause problems with normal usage of BitComet, but you may adjust this setting here if you know exactly what you are doing. Please note that a Windows system file (tcpip.sys) will need to be modified, which may cause problems with your system. Only use this patch if you fully understand the risks, and know exactly what you are doing. Do not try to use this on systems with Vista OS or above.

The TCP/IP patch on BitComet may change this limitation. Please go to the download page to install the latest BitComet version.

Your Internet IP address is the WAN IP shown in the lower right hand corner of your BitComet.\ If your computer is connected to a LAN or shared Internet access, then your LAN IP can be obtained by running ipconfig /all from a command prompt. Use a LAN IP only on another computer connected to your LAN.
