If you intend to import any downloads from these clients, which use their specific file extension, then use Method 2 from below. Starting with version 1.20, BitComet is able to automatically import unfinished downloads of the BitComet, uTorrent and Xunlei/Thunder clients, which have their client's specific extensions appended to the unfinished files. Many BitTorrent clients have an option (enabled by default in many of them) to add an extension (specific to that particular client) to all unfinished files. If you don't know the answer to that question then do this:īefore getting into the actual methods of importing a download you need to acknowledge a fact first. In order to do that, first answer yourself this question: “Do I have a router?” Once you've answered that question you will know which guide(s) you need to read in order to solve your problem. First of all you have to determine what is blocking your incoming connections. If you're reading this topic, I'm going to assume that you don't know very much about networking so let's get our hands dirty. But in order to make BitComet work (or any BitTorrent client for that matter) you'll need to make some adjustments. In fact you should never connect to the Internet without a working firewall you'll most likely get infected in a matter of minutes. Having a firewall is a good thing since it protects you from the whole plethora of dangers lurking in the dark corners of the world-wide network. You must also open your designated listen port on all of your firewalls, to permit new INCOMING traffic through.

That's necessary but it's only half of the job. This is usually caused by a software/hardware firewall or/and a NAT router (or any combination or those) sitting between you and the Internet.Īdding BitComet to your software firewall permits BitComet to send outgoing traffic (and replies to it) through the firewall to the Internet. That means you can initiate and establish connections to other peers but others cannot establish connections to your client (well they can initiate them, but they won't reach you). If the status light on the right hand lower corner of BitComet's window is yellow and the text next to it says “Blocked”, then inbound connections to your computer are being blocked.
