bilby238 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Since the upgrade I have tried five downloads. None of them are connecting to seeds. The one I am trying now has 0/(1562) seeds and 13/(9668) Peers. No seeds connected since download commenced. Torrents still downloading but all are getting stuck at 99% or 95.5%. Port forwarded correctly, firewall uninstalled and reinstalled, router reconfigured. What else can I try? Have checked other posts and searches, but nothing has worked. Any feedback would be helpful. Cheers
Switeck Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Sounds like a fake or poisoned torrent. Is the few peers you're connected to ALSO stuck at about the same percentage? If so...it's almost certainly hopeless, you're just wasting upload bandwidth. Spend it elsewhere.
bilby238 Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Posted July 6, 2006 Please forgive my ignorance, but is there any way to tell a poisoned torrent from a good one?
DreadWingKnight Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 If the torrent's availability is under 1.0, and your download progress percentage is approximately equal to the availability, you won't be able to progress.
Switeck Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Lots of seeds, torrent NEVER completes, all the peers get stuck on the same percentage...for days. Message forums for that tracker reports it to be bad/corrupt.
