kopcheski Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hello everybody! I have been downloading a movie, who had hundreds of seeds. But when (yesterday) it reaches 99,9% it stopped downloading the rest of the file. And reamins only 256KB to finish. If i could be more specific, i could tell you that its still downloading, but all of the data is being ignored, I mean, discarded. Anything different happens to explain that. I began another download to check, and it's going well. I dont know if it could be a bug. Does it has any relation with the software? Or am I really f***** up? Thanks Vinicius Kopcheski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Shroud Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Stop the .torrent and perform a hash check. Then make sure you are actually connected to seeds, because you may have found yourself a fake .torrent or you have a common download problem with it stoping at 99.9%.

kopcheski Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 First, I'm sorry for the wrong post. I performed the hash test, and it runs until 99.9%. Actually it's not connected to any seed, but somethings it connects to one, and its the maximum I got. You told about a commom trouble at 99.9%. Is there something else i can do?

zerocrash Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 it could possibily no1 else has the complete file either, so hense no1 can give u the remaining 0.1%. dunoo just giving my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSpam Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 it could possibily no1 else has the complete file either, so hense no1 can give u the remaining 0.1%. dunoo just giving my 2 cents Yes, that's most likely the case since the person who created the torrent may have modified a file (probably a text file) after creating the .torrent file. Check the filelist to see of all critical files are complete -- if they are and some insignificant file is incomplete, then everything should be fine.

hanzo2000 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I may be a newcomer but I think I have a related problem. I'm recently downloading a torrent of 1 file, a video file actually (170MB) that is very popular (3000+health) with lots of seeders (and no more hints as to what it is :P ) I began a couple of days ago and had to restart because of the 99% limit (i had already reached 700MB of rubbish :angry: ) When I restarted I noticed that this torrent, compared to others I had downloaded already, was incredibly fast, but the catch was that 50% of the data was rubbish. Right now (1:45am Colombian time 10-08-06) I'm still 50MBs short and nowhere near completion with 480MBs of rubbish :blink: I know it's not a seeding problem because 35 out of 40 of my peers are genuine seeders (fully downloaded) and the manual hash check says it's all A-okay. Every 15 minutes or so 256kbs are successfully downloaded but I fear that I'll just reach the 99% limit and end up with who knows how many gigs of cr@p :( If anyone could explain to me what is the discarded rubbish, how it's generated and if I have a problem with the client or if there is any solution to this problem it'd be very grateful /----------EDIT-----------/ Sorry, I forgot to read the updated faq and if my problem is what is described in there that means I'm screwed /----------EDIT-----------/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessie Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I agree with zerocrash's guess. So I suggest you have another site to download this file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
