Im at xx.x% right now, and in my “Downloaded: XX Mb (x B Rubbish Data)” part, Im getting alot of rubbish data. What is it?
Solution Rubbish data is simply caused by peers sending bad packets to the swarm. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, we’re still not sure. It could either be caused by peers having bad connections to the tracker, as well as a variety of other things, as well as so-called government companies which are able to mingle into the swarm and release bad data intentionally so as to hinder torrent users. The only solution so far to this problem is to download Peer Guardian: http://phoenixlabs.org/ Download and install the client, and when it comes to the screen of ‘Updates’ click on the checkboxes: Government, P2P, Ads. Then let PeerGuardian update its lists. Allow PeerGuardian to run everytime your BitComet client is functioning. A reminder to users: This program does not guarantee that you will receive nil rubbish data, or that you’ll be “protected” from governmental agencies trying to obtain your IP address. Alot of users are under the general idea that some clients are able to block
