thelounge Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hi guys, i´m going mad with the download of a 1.73 torrent. It stops at 85 % and then starts uploading. After a while the uploading stops as well and nothing happens. The status is working, but I cannot make it finish downloading the file. PLEASE HELP!

Determination Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 you probably have a fake torrent. Find out more information where you got the .torrent file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelounge Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 This is the seconf time it happens with the same torrent. One was from www.torrentportal.com (fenopy) the other was mybittorrent.com. There was a third one but it said "invalid torrent file". And since these are mp3 files, I´m able to play 85 % of them. The rest is there but I cannot get them. Is there a way to force the download and stop all uploads? Thanks!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 No, you absolutely can't stop uploading in BitTorrent if you want to download. How does this torrent run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelounge Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 So if I understand correctly, you download and upload to keep the wheels moving. But i want to hear my music and THEN upload. I can leave my computer connected ´till doomsday for what I care, but how do I first get my files to be able to "seed" them? Thank you all people.

Ultima Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Regardless, that's just not how BitTorrent works -- you're always uploading while downloading. Like I asked, does that torrent I linked to finish downloading correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelounge Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 It is downloading now... I´ll take 1 hour and a half to finish. What are you trying to probe? The tracker information is fine (if that is related ). thnx again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelounge Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I noticed that the torrent you sent has both seeds and "clients". The other I have problems with has no seeds... Is that a reason it is only uploading? Do I have to wait untill more seeds get connected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I'm trying to see if the problem lies with the torrents you're downloading, or if it's a bigger problem on your end. But since you say they have no seeds... what is the availability on those trouble torrents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelounge Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Forgive my ignorance... how do I check the availability? I have a URL and in pairs I see a long list of clients. I´m at loungestudios@hotmail.com if you want... thnx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelounge Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Gotta go to bed now. Tomorrow i have an early start at work, so thank you for your care and please keep in touch. All info is useful. Bye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 There's a column for availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
