i had bitcomet 0.70 and i was downloading a movie. later on i found out there was a bitcomet 0.79 out so i downloaded it and the torrent started working but it said 0kb/s From 145 peers. in bitcomet 0.70 it said there were only about 5 peers that i was downloading from. when i click on the peers button (under the files button) it shows me that 5 people are connected and the rest are connecting. when u go back on summary it says that 5 peers are connecting. i think u mixed the number of connecting peers and the number of peers ur downloading from.
Your firewall is blocking BitComet from accessing the net. It doesn’t know from upgrades, it thinks this is a new program that it does not have a rule to permit, so it blocks it. You either need to downgrade back to 0.70 (recommended), or delete and re-create your firewall’s rule for BitComet.
