please help me! I’m totally confused! =_=
I’m a total newbie, Does anyone know how you connect BitComet?
It’s status bar just says, ‘DHT not connected’
Does anyone know what I should do?
And can anyone tell me what seeding is?
Thanks ^^
Hi,
It seems you need to learn alittle about bit torrent protocall first. Here is a link to the basics of bit torrent…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bittorrent
that article has links to anything and everything you could want to know about using bit torrent.
Please take the time to do some reading, so we can help you better in getting your client up and running.

thanks I’ll read very carefully! ^^
I found out what seeding & leeching. Just the connection problem now, but I’ll read the rest of the article first.
Your welcome… 
I replyed to the other members post and explained dht a little, so feel free to review that post if you like.
However, that article in Wikipedia has far more info then I could put in a post here.

Hi li-yin, and welcome to BitComet support forums.
And of course, welcome to BitTorrent. 
Here remember to read the FAQ regarding BitComet.
thanks, but I still can’t figue out the problem! =_=
I’ve read the article and still have no clue! maybe it’s just me
The torrents I’m trying to download have seeders. And have been downloaded by 4288 other people. what wrong with me?
Still sayd DHT not connected.
(feeling abit thick right now, it’s probably something quite obivous, thatI can’t figue out =_=)
PLEASE HELP ME!
edit: I’ve been reading around, and have found out it may be the tracker, I’m connecting to.
but I’m not entirely sure.
[The icon means that the tracker(s) you’re connecting to is currently unavailable, or you do not have any trackers specified in that particular torrent download.]
Ehm, what tracker are you downloading from?
i now know what u have to do are u trying to download anything yet cause if so pick somthing else aswell and if that one works it means the first one u picked was a dead torrent i hope that helps 
DHT is a means for finding additional peers, which does not depend on the tracker to supply a list.
Most of the time, for most torrents, it’s not necessary. Some torrents and trackers explicitly block it. But basically, you don’t need it to successfully download most torrents most of the time, and you can ignore it, or simply disable it in your preferences.
If you want to worry about it at some future time, the issue is probably because your firewall’s blocking UDP on your listen port.
