kluelos Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 If you'll click the "download" link on the site menu, rather than the big download button, you'll be taken to a page where you can link to other versions. Almost every version that's ever been released, in installer or zip format, is available from that page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, f**k me ... when I go the main website, and click on the downloads link, I get directed to 'http://www.bitcomet.com/doc/download.htm', which *still* only allows me to download BitComet 1.22... Oh, well, forget it... It's not *that* important anyway... Thanks for the effort though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbalbalba Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 Man, I *totally* overlooked the section stating 'ZIP/Old Versions'... Thanks for the screenshots. Boy, do I feel silly now ... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbalbalba Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) Hrm. Version 1.20 shows identical behavior, so I decided to go down a few versions. In version 1.16, it appears to be solved. In that version, BitComet 'appears' to hang and becomes unresponsive during, what Im guessing is the initial creation of the torrent, and also when you start the torrent if it's not started yet (and also if you stop the running torrent). However, that only takes a few seconds, and after that BitComet behaves exactly as expected again. Im not sure if 1.16 is the last version in which things still work (as I really dont wanna try 1.17,1.18,1.19 unless I have to), so Im hoping that this gives enough clues on where to look for the cause of the issue ?

lbalbalba Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hrm. Got curious anyway... 1.17 = Works. Same behaviour as 1.16 1.18 = Doesnt Work. Same behavior as 1.22 1.19 = Doesnt Work. Same behavior as 1.22 1.20 = Doesnt Work. Same behavior as 1.22 So im guessing that the behavior got introduced somewhere between 1.17 and 1.18 ?

greywizard Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Well, in order for any of the dev team to be able to look into this perhaps, you should give a complete description of your system's specifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I'd also like you to try version 0.70 There was a massive rewrite as of 0.71, which was the major reason there have been so many releases since then, through and past 1.00 without ever getting out of beta. It's a very stable version, so it would be interesting to see if it has this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasy Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Just a thought here...Have you tried disabling DHT? Also, go to BitComet's advanced options and set bittorrent.connection.ltseed_protocol_selection to 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very stable version, so it would be interesting to see if it has this problem. Hrm. I tried to test 0.70, but failed. Seconds after I start up BitComet 0.70 (but not immediately on startup), it makes my CPU jump all the way up to 100%, making my system extremely sluggish and unresponsive. The second I kill BitComet, the CPU drops down again to expected values. I was unable to try out the scenario with this version. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, go to BitComet's advanced options and set bittorrent.connection.ltseed_protocol_selection to 0. I cannot seem to find the right menu option where I can disable 'DHT'. Could you point me in the right direction ? Also, I tried setting bittorrent.connection.ltseed_protocol_selection to 0 in version 1.22, but that did not solve the issue.

lbalbalba Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 Well, in order for any of the dev team to be able to look into this perhaps, you should give a complete description of your system's specifications. Forgive me my ignorance, but I seriously doubt that the enormous task of specifying every hardware component and piece of installed software, drivers, and respective versions, is going to do any good at all. :( Perhaps the devs could look into the changelog from 1.17 to 1.18, and see if anything sticks out ?

I think im just gonna stick with 1.17, which works for me, or install another client. Thanks for all the help, bye for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasy Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I cannot seem to find the right menu option where I can disable 'DHT' Either go to Options/task/BitTorrent and untick the checkbox next to "Enable DHT network" or right click the DHT status light (located at the bottom of the BitComet window, between your user name and the listen port status light (where it says wan:x.x.x.x:y if green and Blocked:x.x.x.x:y if yellow, x being your wan ip and y your listen port) and deselect "Enable DHT network" Try fixing the bug, ... Oh, well, nevermind ... We can't fix a bug that seems to appear only on your system if we don't know what system you have. The chicken and the egg problem...

greywizard Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Try fixing the bug... I would if I knew what was the bug and IF I was part of the development team. That suggestion was only meant to see if you can run v.0.70, that kluelos asked you about, (and which is a very old version, hence it may have incompatibilities with Vista) not as a method to fix your issue.

BitComet uses up 100% CPU seconds after startup. - Tried 1.22 with XP Compatibility mode: same results. BitComet 'hangs/freezes' when trying to download the specified torrent.

BitComet hangs/freezes when downloading the torrent. We can't fix a bug that seems to appear only on your system if we don't know what system you have.
