The UnUsual Suspect Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I'm not certain if this is the case, but you should be aware that there are torrents out there that are designed to do just this... http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_torrents now, if there are seeds, but your still stuck at this point, then its possible this is a malicious torrent. If there are no seeds present, then your torrent will not finish unless someone returns to seed it. You can often look up the trackers web page to request a seeder to return. Or just hope that one does show (many uploaders will check past torrents from time to time), at least the good ones do. One of the biggest mistakes new users make is to not check on the health of a torrent before downloading. Always find torrents with lots of seeders, or be prepared to get stuck. Suspect ps. another good link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bittorrent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
