thedave Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Some files seem to get stuck at 99% even though 100% is available. It looks like its going to finish and then backs off a bit and the time increases, then starts counting down again. Everything else works fine. And Ive seen this talked about somewhere, but I couldnt find the answer.thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Sounds like the:D-Link DMZ Download Destroyer...at work.You may not have a D-Link router, but the person you're downloading from might. And if they're using DMZ mode to get unfirewalled, it would corrupt certain packet combinations...thus that piece might ALWAYS arrive corrupted forcing a resend.Another thing is intentionally corrupted and fake torrents. They never let you get to 100% or you'd realize it's junk, so they cycle you at 99%...you end up perpetually trying to download the last few pieces (or can't find them at all) and waste bandwidth/time.

Switeck Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Also check availability on the file...it should be a considerably higher number than the number of seeds you're connected to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
