General

What is BitTorrent

BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P) communications protocol. LH-ABC is one of many BitTorrent clients.

You can read all about it in Wikipedia:BitTorrent protocol and in Brian's BitTorrent FAQ and Guide

Where do I download from

BitTorrent has no build-in search option and downloads are only available via web. Google for torrent sites or torrent web search.

For LH-ABC 3.3.0 and later you can use the XML based search feature.

What LH stands for

LH stands for Lion Heart.

How can I translate this software to my own language

We are now using Launchpad for translations.

Downloading

What is the difference between Stop and Pause

Pause: Pausing a torrent temporarily halts its connections and keeps it in memory. Use Pause if you only need to stop an active torrent for a few seconds. Stop: Stopping a torrent releases all its resources and starts the next torrent if necessary. Use Stop if you intend on stopping a torrent for an extended period of time, or wish to prevent it from being started.

What can torrent priority do

There are 5 Priorities (Highest, High, Normal, Low, Lowest). Normally when you add new torrent it will get priority "Normal". Priority is used when LH-ABC choose next torrent to run. ABC will choose torrent that has higher priority run first.

How can I set not to download certain files from a torrent

LH-ABC supports selective downloading (though it is not recommended):

What is super seed mode

This is a special mode for initial seeding. Remember super-seed mode is only if you are the first seed. if not it greatly reduces the torrent's efficiency Reference by the Shad0w's bittorrent here.

Problems

pycrypto library not installed

since lh-abc supports encrypted connection you need to have pycrypto installed.

if pycrypto is not installed encryption won't work so it is recommended that you will install pycrypto.

My downloads freeze

freeze means LH-ABC is functional, but the download details just froze (nothing changes). the freeze is a knwon issue and most of the times can be fixed easily: In you Anti-Virus application find the exclude list and add abc.exe to it.

For NOD32 users:

There is a startup error

An error message should pop up. Please copy the error and either:

I am getting an error message while downloading

In case you are getting an error in the message column and you don't know what it means, looke here or here
