The 30 days of VIP I paid for is nearly up, could I stay on as a Beta tester?
You’re welcome to apply for beta testing. Currently this program hasn’t actually begun though. I’m not sure what the delay is, perhaps development wants to get some issues resolved first, but if you apply, I’ll forward your info and if selected, you will be able to use vip for the duration of the beta testing period, which will initially be 30 days.
Just to clarify, if you get registered as beta-tester it goes without saying the you would have to use mainly the anonymous downloading option, so that you can feedback any bugs, or abnormal behavior you see.
I am on Vista, running Bitcomet v1.28. Adsl 1 mbit connection has been working fine for general torrents.
I bought 100gigs of VIP data for $20 attracted by the possibility of anonymous downloading.
I am logged in with CometID and have started a well seeded torrent download.
It just sits there with no signs off life. In the general torrents area under summary it says Status: Connecting…
In the VIP torrents area it sasy Acceleration : Preparing.
Are the servers overloaded? I have restarted it several times and it has been sitting for a couple of hours.
If you would copy the torrent’s magnet link we’ll see if we can get it to work, and referr it to the development team if we are unable.
You can post the link here, or send it in a private message if you prefer.
I think it is not an issue with one torrent file, I have tried another well seeded torrent (no. 1 movie download on kickass torrents) and it is also perpetually connecting… Firewall permissions are all good. Peer guardian is off, I am scratching my head and feeling stupid…
Don’t feel bad, there is probably an issue with anonymous downloading. It is still in beta testing, so be patient.
Our normal procedure is to test all reported tasks and forward the ones that don’t work to development, so I’ll do this and hopefully the problem will be resolved.
