Status Bar colour change

Can anyone tell me why the colour of my status bar changes from green to red. It still shows the torrent as seeding yet I am sure that at times it has lost the connection. Also it will change colour even when it is fully downloaded and other torrents do not seem to be affected. Thanks if you can help,

Sorry. I do not understand what you mean. I can fully download a torrent and it downloads normally. The status bar is green. Days, weeks, and sometimes months later the status bar may go a deep reddish.brown. The ratio rate count still continues and to all intents and purposes nothing changes except the colour of the status bar. It stays the reddish brown colour. I just wondered why this happens. I am not technical and need the reason in understandable words.

 

Also why do some torrents never fully download. I have several that have reached various download percentages and one that has even reached 97.8% yet they will not complete. How do I get the attention of the original uploader to try and get the torrents completed.

 

Sorry I'm a bit thick but we all have to start somewhere.

 

Thanks for any suggestions and help but please keep it simple.

You said in your origianl post it turns to red which means lost connection...

 

Not sure what the Brownish red could mean but it you may have lost connection to one or more trackers or the file you're trying to download is not 100% downloadable or is a fake torrent.

Most of the time there must be at least one seed/peer that has 100% of the file and is actively sharing.

 

Can you post a screen shot of your brownish red status bar icon, tracker status and the seed to peer count on one of your offending torrent files.

 

Also post the url of one of the torrents that you cannot download to 100%

My oh my...I thought you meant the status bar as in bottom of application....
 

Why are you force starting the torrents= [F]
If you still are able to seed and connecting to trackers then don;t worry about it.
If your connection turns red as in status bar in the status bar at the bottom then you should be concerned...
