Question about BitComet

Recommended Posts

Hey, What's up guys? I am a brand spankin' new user of BitComet. I've just downloaded Norton anti-virus, but i'm having some trouble. I've downloaded all of the necessary KBs, but it's uploading? Does anyone know the root to the confusion? Thanks

You've apparently jumped into Bittorrent without understanding it.

All clients simultaneously download and upload. Those that don't or can't upload get snubbed by the software. A file is split into pieces. The seeder hands out a piece to a leecher, then it's fully expected/required that the leecher share that piece with other leechers.

When a leecher has finally obtained all the pieces, it becomes a seeder, uploading only. Seeders should maintain that status until they've uploaded as much as they've downloaded, a 1:1 ratio or 1.00
