2021 Download Bitcomet Portable
Lauretta Jaffray
before i was using a 1 mbps internet connection and there were no problems when i launched bitcomet. after that i upgraded to a 500 mbps internet connection and new routers were installed. after that a weird problem started
i solved the problem. the fault is with the DHT network. if it's enabled then it will cause the internet in the whole house to cut when i launch bitcomet and it's looking for peers. i disabled DHT network in the bitcomet settings and the problem went away
I start bitcomet and my internet hangs for anything between 30 sec to several minutes (on all devices in the house WIFI + LAN, including the pc that I'm running bitcomet on ! The only thing that is not affected visibly is digital TV).
I'm on version 1.82 at the moment, but the problem persists for a while (different versions of bitcomet). The internet icon in the windows task bar (right, bottom of screen) also changes to 'no internet connection'. After that my internet reacts again and works normal even with bitcomet open.
I also did a test starting bitcomet with no tasks loaded in the main screen and with no data in the download folder (simulating NO upload and NO download connectivity). I still get the same problem !
The second file, bitcomet_setup, is indeed an installer, and it's indeed bundled with some kind of antivirus software -- but THE USER IS ASKED WHETHER THEY WANT IT OR NOT. So, again, no reason to quarantine it.
There will be upto 10 ". bak" files named "downloads(date of backup).xml.bak", just rename the one with the latest date to "downloads.xml" while bitcomet is shut down and it will restore bitcomet's download list to the date of that backup.
This type of error is usually caused when windows is shut down before bitcomet is fully shut down. If you are running a lot of tasks and your computer is being overworked it can take a few minutes to properly shut down. Also make sure you are properly shutting down bitcomet rather than just minimizing it. This should prevent a recurrence of this problem.
ps. This is a very simple problem that all clients have when the computer is shutdown without the client having enough time to close each task. Windows usually allows a couple minutes then will force them to close and if you have many tasks running it can take longer to close them all and save your downloads.xml file before windows deletes it. When it's no longer present bitcomet will recreate a new blank downloads list.
There will be upto 10 ". bak" files named "downloads(date of backup).xml.bak", just rename the one with the latest date to "downloads.xml" while bitcomet is shut down. Shutdown your PC, after few minutes, restart your PC.
