Torrentula_of_AZ Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 For example, now I am trying to download The Truman Show ... with 15 seeders and no leechers ... should be a quick, easy download. However, it hasn't started for hours. Is there something *I* can do to kickstart it? A few days ago, I started Frida (2002) ... it stalled at 99.7%, and hasn't moved for over 2 days (despite showing 4 seeders and no leechers). Suggestions/ideas? Thanks.

The UnUsual Suspect Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 where are you getting your stats from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrentula_of_AZ Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 The "seeders/leechers" numbers come from the torrent sharing site (in this case, TPB). The 99.7% downloaded (and other ones not even starting) comes from bit comet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 The numbers on the torrent sites are rarely accurate, bitcomet reports the peers it gets from the trackers but when people add multiple trackers to a torrent that screws it up because many are duplicate. There are many reasons a torrent can stop at 99.x% and we have a topic on it in our FAQs at wiki.bitcomet.com. It is also often caused by people disabling files in a torrent so they can never fully seed the torrent. If it's a video in most cases it should still play fine. Also check if you have a lot of dropped data or if you have repeated hash failures on the same piece in your log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrentula_of_AZ Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 I have been using bit comet for years, yet have no idea how to: << Also check if you have a lot of dropped data or if you have repeated hash failures on the same piece in your log.>> Could you please tell me how? Thanks. Just had another movie stop at 99.9% .. a well seeded YIFI copy also from TPB. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
