The UnUsual Suspect Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I'm not exactly sure what problem your having. Are you saying that you were unable to enable vip on the torrent because the total size of the entire torrent was larger then your vip package? If so, how do you claim that it had no result if you were unable to enable it? Also, I assume it was a lack of understanding on your part, but it's not possible to download part of a 50gb file, nor have I ever seen a file that large. I'm guessing you mean the sum of all the "files" was 50gb and you wanted to download one or more of these files. Please provide accurate information so we can begin to help you. Also, would you send a private message to Lucy26 with your Comet ID name so she can look into your account. Please also read the "READ THIS before posting" topic and provide the basic information thats required and preparing a screenshot of the error message you got would be helpful if your unable to describe the problem in technical terms. We have a guide for making and posting screenshots in the forum if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot download something that isn't available. If the are no seeders on a torrent, then it won't complete unless a seeder returns. It is possible for it to complete via LTseed connections from another bitcomet peer, but only if one is present. In other words, buying a bigger truck to bring your groceries home won't help you if the shelves at the grocery store are bare. I recommend you keep the task running, in many cases a seeder will start up their computer and begin seeding again. You can also go to the website where the torrent was posted and request a reseed. Also, please don't post requests in another members topic. I replied to you this time, but please post your own topic if you have further questions, we don't want to be disrespectful to the member who posted this topic.

greywizard Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I think that what the first one complains about is that the amount of traffic subtracted from the download quota included in the purchased plan is equal to the size of the whole torrent irrespective whether you only selected a part of the torrent's files, for download.

kluelos Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 That's likely so. I doubt there is a mechanism to tell the VIP server that you only want part of the torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Perhaps this can be further developed to allow a user to use up the remaining vip even if the task exceeds the amount. Example. I purchase 100gb package and use 90gb and have 10gb remaining. I then start a 20gb torrent and successfully enable vip, which then accellorates my download for 50% of the torrent, in which case I then have the option to continue without vip, or purchase more. Lucy, can you pass this suggestion on to development? Also, to the member posting. Please bare with us as this product is being developed. We will do whatever we can to help make sure your happy with the service, but changes can't be made overnight. TuuS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petergf Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I said this after trying VIP when it first started and now I say it again "it's a waste of money"I have been using VIP since it started and have a slow dl speed "i'm on sat". I have used the intro and paid twice and just had the free 100gb stopped due to time out. As I said my speed is slow and I only got through 20% before time out and was running 24/7. Over all there has been little difference between using VIP and not. Save your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy26 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Thank you TuuS, I'll ask the development team about your suggestion. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, If your problem is a slow connection from your isp, then no matter how fast our servers send you the data, your going to be limited by your ability to receive it. Most broadband connections have a very limited upload speed, and in this case the service can help because it will upload to the swarm at speeds upto 1,000,000kb/s therefore getting data from the best peers on your behalf. If you can run some speed tests on your sat connection (try speedtest.net), we can advise you better if you should expect to see good results from the vip. In any case, The development team is working hard to make all users happy with the service, but obviously it's not best suited for every user.

kluelos Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Sounds like you consider any explanation of what it is and how it works, "mumbo-jumbo". Your dissatisfaction isn't too surprising under the circumstances. VIP acceleration will benefit certain people with certain sorts of issues, under certain circumstances. It is not magic and will not magically speed up your connection, but that's what you seem to be expecting -- that it will automatically make all of your downloads much faster and give you a pony besides. If you are already downloading as fast as your connection allows, then VIP won't help you. Perhaps if you stopped dismissing any explanations and started trying to understand them, you would find situations where it would help. That would, of course, involve learning, which is something you are apparently not very good at. You certainly didn't do very well with basic written English - punctuation, spelling, grammar, diction, all that. With your present attitude, though, it seems very unlikely that you will stop whinging long enough to figure out whether VIP might help you in some situations.
