 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. This is done by using a unique LT-hash which is being computed for every file of the task.
  
-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】

-BitComet by default enables search for Long-Term seeds in a BitTorrent task when it's being added to the Task List. If the task is using a //.torrent// file made with BitComet, it will use the LTS hashes inside the //.torrent// file to search for LT-Seeds.\\  If the //.torrent// file was created with another torrent maker it will query the server if there are any LTS hashes already uploaded for that torrent and then if present, it will use them to search for LT-Seeds.\\ +BitComet by default enables search for Long-Term seeds in a BitTorrent task when it's being added to the Task List.
