Bitcomet settings for AVG

IrishTonyO

Does anyone know the proper settings to use in Bitcomet so it will scan all downloads with AVG after completion?? I have tried various suggestions but can never get them to work. I am using Bitcomet v. 1.6 and AVG free edition 9

cant you just set AVG to monitor your downloads folder like a hawk?

You should also consider changing clients over to something like utorrent, as bitcomet is blocked by alot of trackers because of its superseeding protocols.

uTorrent is also a lot lighter on resources, and much more configurable

Thanks Ryan, however all the info I can find says utorrent superseeds and bitcomet doesn't.

The one claim he verified as partially correct was that, "BitComet is a poor peer due to no upload slot control; upload bandwidth is stretched too thin". Topolski's tests indicated that BitComet does lack upload slot control, but only when BitComet is initially seeding a torrent—that is, when BitComet is the only seeding peer in a swarm, it tends to seed less efficiently than the two other clients he tested. Topolski asserts that when BitComet is not the only seeding peer in the swarm, or when it is a non-seeding peer, upload slot control is managed exceptionally well.

Looks like only 1 criticism is half proved though

I would put money on it that artice has been edited. I have the latest verion of utorrent at home, and im 99% sure its not superseeding, the reason i say this is that i am on a few private trackers who have extreemly stict policys and i've never had any issues. Also, when your looking at the tracker for whatever you are downloading look at the rules and eceptions to check that bitcomet isn't blocked or throttled.

Ryan this is from the user manual of utorrent

Thanks for that. I'm guessing its just tured off by default then? I'll have to check it out later on.

So back to the original question, anyone know the settings?

Overheal

Besides monitoring the downloads folder no. You need to be careful of what youre downloading. I assume its nothing illegal so what do you have to worry about :rolleyes:

Just out of asking, and i'm not saying to to be any way smart. Have you tried the AVG forums? The reason i ask is im sure this is not the first time the question has been asked before, and i would be really supprised if this feature is not present in the software.

yes they give you the following , but it doesn't work

:\Program Files\AVG\AVG9\AVGSCANX.exe
Parameters:
/scan=%f ext=* /arc /clean

And i guess you created a .bat file and put in all the proper parameters? like folder location? Still no luck ? What OS and version of AVG are you using?

No there is an anti virus setting in the bitcomet options where you enter the details of the program and parameters.

Using windows 7 and avg 9

Overheal

maybe theres a featureset on another BT client that would scan files for you?

IrishTonyO

Not to worry, AVG still scans the download folder, but just thought it would have been good to have it setup using the settings. Still AVG does a good job as soon as the file is saved to the folder it checks.

Thanks everyone anyway.
