 +==== What to do when garbled text appears in the CometID pane ====
 +This problem is usually caused by the corruption of Outlook. You may also find that any .mht file can't be open by IE correctly. Please try Method 1 first, if the problem still exists, please then try method 2.
 +
 +**Method 1:**\\ 
 +Step[1]: Windows Start menu -> run -> regsvr32 inetcomm.dll\\ 
 +Step[2]: If last step failed due to missing inetcomm.dll, try to restore it from c:\windows\system32\dllcache\ to c:\windows\system32\\\ 
 +Step[3]: Repeat step[1], if still faild due to “module missing”, try to find msoert2.dll and inetres.dll, copy them to c:\windows\system32\\\ 
 +Step[4]: Repeat step[1], and it should work. 
 +
 +**Method 2:**\\ 
 +Download the mht file from [[http://wiki-zh.bitcomet.com/_media/mht.zip|here]], extract it and double-click the file named mht.reg. 
 +

 +
 +==== How to change the default media player to play/preview a file from the task list? ====
 +
 +Go to **Options** -> **Advanced**, click on **ui.preview_program_path** to select the default program to play/preview the media file in task list.\\  {{:faq_03.png|}}
 +
 +More information about preview while downloading can be read [[preview_while_downloading|HERE]].
 +
 +====What is the encryption option in BitComet and what effects does it have on the operation of the client?====
 +
 +The encryption option in BitComet (just as in other clients) has the purpose of obfuscating BitTorrent traffic in order to render it undetectable (or at least less detectable) to traffic shaping applications which some ISPs use, in order to throttle BitTorrent traffic.\\ 
 +BitComet uses the MSE/PE encryption method introduced by Azureus and (when encryption is activated) it encrypts both protocol header and message payload.
 +
 +For more detailed information on this subject, as well as for a description of the effect each encryption level chosen in the client has on connections read [[protocol_encryption|this topic]].
 +
 +====What is web-seeding and how can I make use of it?====
 +
 +Simply put, web-seeding is a technology which allows a BitTorrent swarm to use a web server as a peer of the swarm. In other words if you have content you want to distribute through a web server, you can use web-seeding to create a BitTorrent swarm around that content and offload the burden from the web-server, as it would act a simple seed in that swarm maintaining it alive for as long as you share that content, but as soon as there are more than one downloaders, they will actually be peers in the [[peers_seeds_torrent_tracker_dht_peer_exchange_pex_magnet_links#swarm|swarm]] and download all from each other and the server (thus sharing the load) not all of them just from the server.
 +
 +Currently there are two web-seeding specifications available out there:
 +  * BitTornado style web-seeding (needs a special web server to be set up, which serves content by info-hash and piece rather than file name);
 +  * GetRight style web-seeding (can use a standard HTTP web server, with no additional setup required).
 +
 +
 +In order to benefit from the presence of a web-seeding server in the torrent swarm, a BitTorrent client must support web-seeding.\\ BitComet supports GetRight style web-seeding since v.1.14. For details on how to create a torrent with a web-seeding server check [[making_torrents_with_bitcomet|this topic]].
 +
 +----
 +
 +==== What is Anonymous Download? ====
 +
 +Anonymous Download service is basically a private connection to a high-speed seedbox, downloading all torrents anonymously. Instead of only accelerating regular BitTorrent transfers through Bitcomet’s servers, the “anonymous” downloads will be handled by BitComet’s VIP servers exclusively, hiding the IP-address of the user.
 +
 +If VIP members enable anonymous downloads the remote servers will initiate all peer and tracker communications and download the data on behalf of the VIP member, so the member’s actual IP address isn’t shared with any of the peers or trackers. Members who enable Anonymous Download will only get data tranfered from VIP server and LT-Seed(if enabled).
