o Align File to Piece Boundary: Better for making torrent, fully compatible with old versions.
o Intelligent Connection Optimization: Configuration is automatically set to match your connection type.
o Intelligent Disk Cache: Memory cache is used to reduce the read/write frequency of your hard drive, therefore increasing service life.
o Quick Resume: The torrents can be seeded or resumed immediately without time consuming scans.
o Auto Config ICF (Internet Connection Firewall) and ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) in Windows XP
o Auto Config UPNP port mapping in router (UPnP support is required in router, Windows XP is required).
o Option of Disabling and Setting Priority of Files in any torrent: Files can be disabled, so they are not downloaded, or set to higher or lower priority, allowing you to select which files finish first.
o Also support Multi-tracker, DHT, utf-8 extension, and UDP tracker Protocol v2.
* HTTP/FTP Download - Innovative P2P Technology
o P2P downloading: BitTorrent technology is integrated into HTTP/FTP download, with which BitComet automatically finds other clients and gets data from them to increase your download speed，without additional bandwidth usage of the HTTP server.
