Download Speed: Added in v.1.15, it shows the present high/middle/low speed of the current selected task, according to the download rate limit.

• Green icon: Present download speed of your client.
• Blue icon: Average download speed of the other peers connected to you.
• Red flag: Download rate limit of this task. If you do not set a rate limit for this task, BitComet might set a fixed rate according to the current Internet connection parameters.

Downloaded: This graphic shows the position of the pieces that are already downloaded as compared to the disposition of all pieces in the torrent task (e.g. if you haven't selected all the files in a multi-file torrent, this graphic will not be all blue, even when you finish the download).

Availability: The Availability feature is the same as Health in old versions, which is shown as a column in the Task List. It displays a statistical value computed from all the pieces present among the connected peers, and it represents the number of copies of the torrent's files (both aggregate and complete) present among all the connected peers. It's meant to give you an approximate estimation of the chances of success in finishing the download of the current task (a value of over 300%-500% will probably mean that you'll be able to get all the files of the torrent task even if some peers drop the connection). However, keep in mind that this is a value calculated based on the pieces hold by the peers connected at the present time. So, it dynamically keeps changing along with the peers which join or drop connection with you.

Transfer:

• Time Elapsed: Time spent on downloading this task.
• Remaining: Time still needed to finish this task. When the task has finished downloading this value changes to:

• Status: Status of this task (downloading, uploading, paused or stopped).
• Download size: Amount of data downloaded in the current session. (Total：Total amount of data downloaded for this task.)
