On November 18, 2006, the BitComet Team introduced the BitComet FLV player, an application to play Flash Video files (. BitComet FLV Player File:Bitcomet FLV Player.JPG When installed, it connects automatically to a server. The plugin is a modified version of the GPL eMule program. Īn optional plugin is available to connect to the eD2K network. BitComet is capable of downloading files over HTTP and FTP as well as bittorrent, and it includes download plugins for Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Maxthon. BitComet uses the Kademlia (mainline) DHT to operate even when the tracker is offline.

BitComet also allows users to share their torrent files on a searchable P2P network. When downloading, BitComet prioritizes the first and last portions of media files so that files may be previewed before they are completely downloaded. BitComet contains an embedded Internet Explorer window for the purpose of allowing users to search for torrents within the client. BitComet supports simultaneous downloads, automatic configuration, UPnP, bandwidth scheduling, webseeding, search for additional HTTP and FTP sources when downloading through the BitTorrent client, download queuing, selecting downloads inside a torrent package, fast-resume, protocol encryption, disk cache, speed limits, port mapping, peer exchange (PEX), UDP NAT traversal, connecting through a proxy, and IP filtering.

The BitComet client is a P2P file-sharing program compatible with the BitTorrent protocol.
